Apple still working on next-gen external display with integrated graphics card
 




In the works or a fait accompli?

Apple doesn't pull inventory of old Macs until they have an imminent ship date for the new ones, then they stock their own stores first (online and physical), before shipping to third parties.

Third parties have to wait for Apple Store sales to slow, before Apple supplies those outlets.

There are a couple of pro-video value-added resellers to studios in Hollywood and New York, etc. that get in as early as possible on the Pro gear.

New Thunderbolt display with integrated GPU still in the works







Skylake vs Kaby Lake (when)?


,,,initial details on Kaby Lake suggest the hardware industry will again integrate Kaby Lake into their devices. Meaning, we can expect new tech shipping with Kaby Lake in late 2016. There are enough feature enhancements already to give both consumers and retailers a headache on whether to shift to the new Kaby Lake processor.

During Apple's conference call in April, Tim Cook noted that "Despite challenges there were a number of encouraging signs during the quarter. Our installed base of over 1 billion active devices continues to grow strongly. We added a huge number of Android switchers and new to Mac customers and we generated very strong growth from services."

More specifically Cook added that "We continue to see a very high level of customer switching to iPhone from Android and other operating systems. In fact, we added more switchers from Android and other platforms in the first half of this year than any other six-month period ever."
