Not buying until they remove the headphone jack. What do they think this is, August 2016?

@sisedi At least they removed the glowing apple logo on the back
Stanley Idesis
@eonpilot yeah but when you interact with the new touch bar, it gently tattoos the apple logo onto each fingertip
André J
@sisedi Seriously though you know this touch bar is going to be 👌 for XCode/snippets/clipboards etc etc. Productivity here we come!
Stanley Idesis
@eonpilot yeah I'm pretty stoked but won't be getting one anytime soon
Jack Dweck
Take my money

@jackdweck I wanted to resist. I tried to resist. But yes, please just take my money. And more of my money for ever accessory I currently own but in USB-C form...
Adam Sturrock
@bentossell @jackdweck The emoj-iBar 😎 (sorry couldn't help myself)

@jackdweck 15" loaded = $4,299. They make you pay for the 2TB, that's for sure. I'm going to wait for a 32GB refresh for now, so in a bizarre reversal "Keep my money". :-D
Micha Mazaheri
@ibcj @jackdweck I agree 16GB max is a little disappointing…
JP Boily
@mittsh @ibcj @jackdweck yeah, I was expecting to be able to get a 32GB too...but well, they took my money for an almost maxed one (besides SSD, 1TB is enough for me).

I don't think most people really care about a "faster processor" but emojis support... 😍💰

@rrhoover did you see the interview with Craig, they why they spent 1/3 of WWDC talking about iMessage instead of other things. He said, when we do better performance bugs and whatnot no one cares, but the second we add 2 emojis the whole world goes crazy! 😂
Cameron Roe
@rrhoover It's all about the DJ now... scratch support? check ✅
Steven Rueter
Now I just need to quit programming and become a DJ

TouchBar is meh. I really think Apple needs to figure out how it's going to tear down its current suite of hardware and build something new from the ground up.
H.Murchison
@kwamesompimpong that will need 3 more major revisions to the ARM. I think we are close
Yann Bertrand
That price though
Nelson
@_yannbertrand it's cheaper than the SurfaceBook, what do you mean?
Patrick
@_yannbertrand +~250 average from previous versions...

So now on a Pro machine I gotta get more dongles for my SD card and dongles for my drives (that I just bought) and more dongles for HDMI? That's BS. I can understand the logic on a consumer machine but not when Apple is supposedly great for photographers/creators and the like.
Nick Simard
@kidbombay But they kept the headphone jack, so that makes up for losing USB, HDMI, MagSafe and card slot, right? Except based on their new iPhones, they see headphone jacks as obsolete. Oh, Apple.
Matt Galligan
@kidbombay Think about it this way though: every port is every port. There may be a dongle, sure. But this thing is way more forward thinking this way.
Ketan Anjaria
@mg this is backwards. Now I have to carry more stuff which doesn't help. I actually have to buy a SD card reader which I haven't had to purchase for 5 years.

Eagerly awaiting the build to order specs! I know a 2TB SSD is an option (hooray!), but what about the 32GB of RAM that I know I need?!
André J
@ibcj 16gb ram is the only option apparently
Mawunami Akoto
@ibcj 2TB is pricey
cj little
@eonpilot Man, I see that now. What a drag. I'll hold on for the 32GB refresh I guess. :-/
Eric Nunlee
@ibcj I have been waiting on 32gb for the past 3 years. It's ridiculous to run todays "RAM heavy" professional software and browsers on 16gb of RAM. Huge mistake!
cj little
@ericnunlee Have soldering iron, will travel!
Mawunami Akoto
But let's be honest. Between a 2TB HD option and a 32GB RAM option, which would you have preferred?
Eric Nunlee
@mawunamiakoto 32 GB not even close. I need speed and power. I would never store that much on a laptop anyways - Capacity is what the cloud is for.
Mawunami Akoto
@ericnunlee that's so true
James Requa
@ericnunlee totally agree. Seems a silly move with most storage now moving to cloud for them to focus on increasing that while sacrificing on RAM.
Adam Bowie
Zzzzzzzz. Weak update. Apple is adding gimmicky features like this OLED bar rather than focusing on improving the specs. Same thing they did with iOS10 and the iMessage features we all used for one week only. The 2015 Pro model is plenty thin. They should have kept same thinness and instead bumped up the battery life, the processor speed, and ramped the RAM to 32GB. The specs on this are no better than the ones on my early 2015 Macbook Pro.
