So, any rumors on the MacBook 15" getting a 5th generation Intel processor?

Yes, but probably not until the spring. That chip has been delayed for awhile.

I don't follow that stuff closely at all, though.

How today's web sites look on the original iPhone.

Just got the 6S plus. It's pretty accurate with GPS. Like the display as well.

Shots fired from Google. The Apple rejoinder would be you want to play the same piece, go to a roomful of pianos with vastly differently shaped keyboards and find it difficult to play the same piece without have to learn each keyboard.

They've been doing this for months, this whole campaign.

I don't see it. My phone is vastly different than my wife's. And Dave's. The case, the color, the wallpaper… They're just running the same OS. So what?

This one's from over a year ago:

Makes about as much sense as the piano one.

I would rather have a product that works, and works well, than a product that just looks a little different than my friends.

Really don't see the point of that ad campaign.

I am waiting for the SkyLake version of MBP 15" as well.

Looks more like September availability at best.  The dGPU (supposedly will use AMD's Polaris) is expected to be available in June.  That will make it more likely 15" SkyLake MBP will be announced in June (WWDC) at the earliest.  13" maybe announced in March but 15" most likely will not.

All those people expecting announcement of new 15" MBP in March will be disappointed.

That's funny.

I was watching TV last night and an AT&T ad came on. The customer in the ad says, "Hey Siri....". My iPhone answers, "What can I help you with?"

Hey Siri, OK Google, Alexa. Be careful with these trigger words.

That's a great commercial.

Certain tech podcasts I know bleep those words out.

I turned that off on my phone because it happens often enough to be annoying, and I almost never do it on purpose.

Funny Australian Apple Pay ad. Dying to update my MBP, can't wait till the fall, hope there's a new model coming out.

I have it, but I haven't used it that much. Most of the machines still need to be updated.

I'm just watching the stream now, but it sounds like today's event was pretty jam-packed.

I was hoping for a new MacBook Pro, but that was just speculation. No more "OS X" as the operating system name. Hopefully the Music app is better.

I'm still trying to wrap myself around the idea of an iPhone without a headphone jack, but right now, man, that's just a bad idea. I was fine with removing the dvd drive from the laptops, but no headphone jack?
