Iris isn't being killed. The new macbook pros are using Iris, there's a few NUCs with IRIS, ideapad 710s, a few sonys etc. Don't forget that the IRIS parts are a half cycle behind the non-IRIS.
Basically once intel supply catches up with demand, bugs fixed, 1 rev of silicon after production, BIOS tweaks, etc. Then intel starts pulling wafers out of the supply, adding a extra chip inside the cache for the extra GPU memory bandwidth, and starts selling the IRISs.
I'd expect the Kaby Lake Iris to be out in q1 or Q2 of 2017.

The trend is clearly towards removing Iris. > The new macbook pros are using Iris These are skylake parts, and the 15" only uses HD. > Don't forget that the IRIS parts are a half cycle behind the non-IRIS. I'm not forgetting anything, I'm looking at the roadmap.
