If you wait 6 months, there will be something else due in another 6 months.

Current MBPro is now over years old (Late 2011 version), is written down in the accounts and due for replacement. I'll be going shopping in the next couple of weeks

True, looks like Apple will be skipping over Broadwell for the 15 inch, Skylake is just around the corner though.

Well as updates go that was rather a waste of time, the 3rd Macbook Pro refresh with Haswell, Apple didn't even bother with a speed bump this time as you still get a 2.2 or 2.5. Must be waiting for Skylake Mobile Quad Cores (whenever they land), dilemma is do I buy now or wait 6 months

Just seen the new MacBook in the flesh finally, my god it's pretty! Still smaller than I'd like for every day use but wow!

Waiting for the 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro, cmon Intel pull your finger out and get the broadwell (or maybe even skylake) quad core i7s sorted!

I'm not saying the new Apple watch will only be worn by winkers but it's not vibration, shock and splash proof for nothing.

You apple religious people don't like dissenters, do you! If your faith can't handle a little ribbing then it's not a strong faith is it.

Careful - before you know it the will storming woohoo towers to avenge the slight on their god...

Gold ones are really aimed at the Chinese / Far East market. Gold is a huge status symbol over there and they go for a premium as they are sold as Accessories / Jewellery as well as being phones.

While here it means cheaper than the silver / grey versions.... Which is why my iphone 6 plus cost me far less than retail....
Granted its only the 16gb version but I can live with that provided I don't use tomtom...

I have the gold 6 plus, I like it but it does look a little like I should be driving a Range Rover evoque and starring on TOWIE.

I know someone who gold plates iphones, costs him less than a quid a time to do it

If you don't like their look, why not get a normal iphone and gold plate it yourself

Same reason I don't drive a white range rover Evoque, they look naff

[MicrosoftBob]

Never a fan of the Gold that Apple seem to use.....



The space grey however!!!
