16-Inch MacBook Pro Production Reportedly Underway as Launch Timing Remains Uncertain

It sounds like the briefings are today. I don't expect any news today.

Just like with the AirPods Pro. The private meetings were held the day before, and then...bamb! The next day, the Apple's newsroom website got refreshed and the AirPods were on sale!

I think the MBP is going to take a similar route to the announcement and then release, albeit, not being on store shelves immediately, but being able to purchase immediately.

The only difference is, Apple released a press statement on the 28th, and I don't think there was an embargo.

Sounds like it's tomorrow.

You mean more TB3 ports? I think we've covered this, it probably doesn't have enough PCIe lanes for that.

No. I said SELECTION. But thanks for reminding me I can't have what I don't want.

Well, it looks like they did what I thought they would. I'm calling it the the Big MacBook.

Oh well.

The only better selection than 4 TB3 ports is more than 4 TB3 ports.

Yeah well ok. You have your definition of the word "selection", and I have mine. I guess we will have to sit down in front of a dictionary in order to sort it all out.

My definition means customers can connect practically any peripheral or accessory they want.

Yours means a couple of special cases get special treatment and if you don’t use those well tough ****.
