I wonder if Apple will call the next version of macOS "11"? In 2017 we could have number synchronization across the two major OSes: - macOS 11 - iOS 11
I think it's more likely that Apple would start referring to iOS releases by a new series of codenames than care about the numbers being the same.
...as I cling to my trusty 17" mbp... Oh how a 'portable desktop' cool running quad core retina option with 16GB+ of ram would be welcome...
Same here
Well, I'd appreciate that as well but I already surrendered all hope to ever see a release of a sane MBP again. At least Apple has fessed up to their manufacturing defect with the GPU so hopefully my 2011 MBP will live another few years before I end up in the serious dilemma what to buy next...
Jet black with "invisible" touch bar would be beautiful.
I vote for Jet Black as well.
Lovely as it would be, might be a bit of a production nightmare. Which is a nuisance, because I would love to have my MacBook Pro match my iPhone, but I'll take the matte Black instead.

I don't understand this. I prefer the smaller screen, in fact, I'd be happy with a 13" -- if it had the GPU and preferably 32GB of RAM. I use my laptop in two places mainly- home and work, and I have external displays there much, much larger than 17". Hell a 4k display in the 40" range can be had for $500.
The only time I really use the laptop screen is when traveling.
If they are doing a retina 5k monitor.. it MUST have built-in GPU in the monitor. Their is no way to power a 5k w/o the custom graphics controller chip and the Display Port 2.0, which Thunderbolt 3 does not support.
So only way this happens, is a built in GPU, custom chip, and Apple starts supporting directly, external GPU docks similar to what others like Razer with the Razer Core external GPU box.
This is fine- I'd be happy with an external GPU. Just want Apple to support it in software... and I want it to be compelling. EG: either AMD or NVIDIA's current high end GPUs, or give us a choice.

At that point why not just unify OS branding and call it appleOS?
Why doesn't Mercedes just unify class branding from A-class, C-class, E-class, S-class, V-class, etc. and call it "Mercedes class"?

wrong analogy. I'm talking about unifying the branding of the OS, not the hardware.
Apple should bring latest standard ports to all devices: USB 3.1 Type-C (reversible) Generation 2 (10 Gbps), Thunderbolt 3 and SDXC with extra pins for maximum read/write speed (300 MB/s).

Are you suggesting that macOS, tvOS, iOS, and watchOS could be a single OS that would be installed a Mac, Apple TV, iDevice, or Watch without consideration for the HW in which it's being installed?

They only just released the Magic Keyboard without the bar. Might be a bit of a backlash to replace it so soon.

I'm tired of the "titanium powerbook" look we've been with for 16 years!

So I don't even need it to be retina.
