It wasn't that long ago that they released the new iMacs. The 21.5" Retina model came out 1 year ago in Oct 2015. The 27" version came out 2 years ago in Oct 2014. And they often do a couple component refreshes and/or slight pricing adjustments along the way. But you have to wonder if the iMacs are up next for a refresh or at least some adjustments.
There are a couple pretty cool new features in the latest MacBook Pro's along lighter weight, increased CPU and graphics, stellar SSD speed, and I/O capability. The displays are also brighter with better contrast and wider color gamut.
As usual, these premium laptops aren't cheap but Apple has never been one to race others to the bottom of the barrel on pricing and profits. They don't have to play that game.
