Hasn't this discussion been had before? Mr Kuo can speculate all he likes but the implications from the intel roadmap are pretty clear...

It's very unlikely we will see a MBP with 32 GB RAM this year. Both skylake and Kaby Lake professor families do support >16GB RAM but LPDDR3 is only supported up to 16GB. Anything more will need to be DDR4, which is too detrimental to battery life to be feasible.

The Kaby Lake processors bring better on-chip graphics performance so it might be worth an update for the MacBook range but it's not really worth it for the pro range, which utilise the AMD Radeon discrete graphics and therefore wouldn't really benefit.

In the absence of an unlikely switch to new processor architectures by Apple, Everything on the intel roadmap points to the next 13/15" MacBook to refresh being 2H 2018 with Coffee Lake processors.

I think we'll see a 32GB Macbook Pro next year. In the mean time, the Touch Bar and other new features will get a chance to prove themselves with customers and developers.

 If Intel can't sort itself out then I'm afraid you won't

Discussions of design changes aside, a lot of the limitations in terms of processing power is at the hands of Intel. It's looking like a 2-year wait for 32GB RAM capabilities in a macbook pro since this will still not be available with low power DDR in Kaby Lake.

According to the previously leaked Intel roadmap, Coffee Lake - the 14nm version of Cannon Lake intended for the H and U flavours of processors - is currently scheduled as a Q2 2018 release from Intel. See image at http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/22/intel-mobile-roadmap-coffee-lake/

So a possible path for macbook pros is:

Q2/3 2017 refresh to Kaby Lake - up to quad core, better power efficiency, better graphics capability compared to Skylake
Q3/4 2018 refresh to Coffee Lake - up to 6 core, Support for larger RAM configurations.

Some would say Skylake -> Kaby Lake is not a big jump. Coffee Lake, however, should be significant.

Bottom line - if you've got a 4/5+ year old laptop to upgrade, now is the time to buy. If it's 1-3 years old, it may be worth waiting 2 more years.

Since Kaby Lake still wont support LPDDR4 RAM (so still no support for >16GB RAM), (edit) still only quad-core offerings (/edit) and the only real enhancement is a bump in the integrated graphics, this isn't really going to be a significant improvement for the high-end macbook pros (which use discrete graphics chips). It could be that only the U-series will make an appearance in the macbooks with the pros remaining as they are until coffee lake chips are available (2nd half of 2018 perhaps?).

Just updated the app. there's more than just those 4 available (uk version) - in fact a whole section of "available for download" content. Pretty much all of the netflix originals have a download button (incl Black Mirror, and House of cards for example). Also Breaking Bad, House, and a bunch of movies.
