Apple would need to give up the butterfly keyboard, the touchbar should be separated from function keys, and give me a dedicated USB-old and HDMI port for me to get legitimately excited.
I am so sad that the SE line seems dead. Truly wonderful to be able to hand everything on the phone with one hand and also be able to keep it in a normalsized pocket without much fuss. :-(
My 10 year old MBP17 still works, but it's good that finally there will be a replacement option available. Hopefully it will have upgradeable parts again (at least RAM and disk).<p>So please start making bigger MBPs and smaller iPhones!
While Apple "may" add more memory to their MBP specs, I can only wish they could add more USB-C ports AND spacing USB-C ports to farther away each other.
I'm excited to hear about Apple doing <i>something</i> at least approaching innovative, though I'm pretty sure that adding another size to the MBP lineup will just muddy the waters further. Then again, if they replace the Intel platform with ARM in the 16" MBP that would be outstanding and would really shake things up.<p>Either way, I expect the pricing to be astronomical; $8,999 for a 16" MBP wouldn't surprise me much.
No mention of what I'm holding out for - a Macbook with specs as good as some of the competitors in that space. Give me one with a 4 core whiskey-lake chip, and at least one thunderbolt port, and I'm in... otherwise it's looking increasingly like the successor to my late-2013 pro is going to be an ASUS.
Introducing a new size seems like a good strategy. It will trigger some upgrades and more sales.<p>I hope they do something with butterfly keyboard, Otherwise, stop call it PRO.
