Anybody else hoping for unsoldered internals like ssd, ram or battery?
Exactly!
It's so much fun watching people like you going crazy defending in the name of apple.

Doesnt matter what port is on the phone since its the other end of the cable that connects to the computer
Won't happen.
I'd love to have the possibility to upgrade at least the RAM, but it's is soldered even on the Mac mini so let's face the fact they won't give us the ability to upgrade the internals anymore on the laptops.
I still have my 2009 MBP, I upgraded the RAM and the storage and after almost 8 years it is still a good machine, my wife uses it and she doesn't complain about performances. CPU is important, but a fast storage and a good amount of RAM are even more important on everyday tasks.
I bought the model with less RAM and storage as I knew I would be able to change them in the future, now I'd have to spend €240 on the RAM update to get 16GB and the base model without TB goes to €2000, if I want more SSD to the price rises to €2200.
I spent about €1200 8 years ago for the base MBP model, prices are just too high nowadays and almost half of the increase is due to internal upgrades I need to pay immediately.
If it doesn't come with a bigger battery and much better keyboard I couldn't care less. Then again, I already moved to my hackintosh. Less than $600 for 1TB of SSD and 20h+ battery life. Eat that, Apple. And integrated ethernet, VGA, Displayport, etc.
They never will, as they'll never admit failure.
A computer company can't - and shouldn't - be run by people that declare the PC-era to be over.
That's an alarmingly wrong mindset to keep a cutting-edge tech company on the forefront.
Cook is and remains the wrong guy (whether or not selling a hundred millions iPhones while spending his time in whatever disability/diversity councils)
He shoudn't be able to fulfill his own evil prophecies - which are computer-hostile and have proven to be ludicrous, given the iPad's sales trends.
THIS TRAGEDY MUST COME TO AN END => LIBERATE US FROM THIS MAN
Oh - and also let Phil join him (as SVP of TouchBars or something)

Fun fact: elementaryOS is ranked in top 10 on distrowatch (even before Arch Linux on #13), Ubuntu being #4. If you don't agree with the rest of the world, no worries ... just use whatever you like more.
Just out of curiosity: what is the best distro, in your opinion?

Just like others here I'm frustrated with the current generation of Mac's. Luckily I'm still on my 2012 rMbp which more that meets my needs at the moment. However if I needed to upgrade I've no idea which direction to go within the Apple eco system just so dam expensive for what you get but hasn't Apple always been like this?
I can see myself replacing the battery at some point and keeping my current rMbp another three years.

Apple can't get away with charging sky high prices for inferior internals. Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus have closed the gap.
Not a hope, Apple has long left the serious professional space, Apple is solely about attracting the well heeled consumer. Even by Apple's own numbers there are so few utilising the Mac professionally, small wonder really...
Apple only values one thing $$$$, it may very well desperately want the kudos and halo effect that professionals bring to the table, equally Apple is clearly just churning out consumer focused hardware, albeit very well executed. Not even going to watch the upcoming Keynote, simply sick & tired of listening to Tim Cook & Co procrastinating on the Mac and Apple's professional users, it's just insulting. Apple want's my individual & business custom back Apple needs to stop talking & deliver...
Q-6
This two things probably aren't mutually exclusive. Its probably more that they are able to put in the chips they would have liked last year.
Yeah somebody pointed that out already, and it totally makes sense ... Nevertheless i couldn't resist trolling a bit. ^^
Joining you soon. I'm already rocking a fresh KDE Neon install on my desktop PC. Still undecided on the notebook situation because my 2014 MBP is still quite powerful.
