So I ask the Apple people, do you really thing there will be a big enough increase in hardware performance to wait for the 2016 release? I have a feeling the price may increase substantially, for a slight performance boost. In my perspective an i7 Haswell is by no means a bad CPU, and I could only see maybe up to a 10% increase in performance with the Skylake CPU, and maybe some minor increase in battery performance. I'm only going to use the laptop for basic use and programming (nothing graphically intense). At the moment I can get the 15 inch retina display, with the 512 GB SSD upgrade for $2169. Since I'm new to the Mac world, I was wondering if there would really be any benefit to waiting for the 2016 models to come out? I was also wondering about the price difference. The 2016 version will have the 6th Generation Skylake CPUs, and probably some other sort of hardware upgrades. The 2015 version uses the 4th Generation Intel Haswell CPUs. The only notable difference between the previous years has mostly been the CPU. I saw a lot of articles saying to wait for the 2016 Macbook Pro to be released, since the 2015 version hasn't had many updates over the years. I've never owned a Mac so I did some researching while looking at what to get. I was looking into getting a Macbook Pro 15 inch with Retina Display.
