Gold Surgical Stainless Steel Edition Space Green with Force Touch Super Retina with Enhanced Nits
Haha, I feel you. I've contemplated doing the same thing but the moment my two week return period is up I know the new one will be released. The refurb prices are looking pretty good right now though...
Hey Dan, you work for Apple?
Because your news seems pretty definitive. Source? Or are you supposed to keep it top secret?
Geez, hate definitive statements like these
I can’t see Apple making a public splash about going back to a scissor keyboard design. It would be better public relations to just slip it in unnoticed. They don’t want to fuel the fire of bad PR with the butterfly design, no matter whether it was justified or not.
Thank You, Exactly! That is why it's my OPINION that a release is imminent. Possibly tomorrow!
The Apple way!
Premium pricing for older generation internals.
A profit producing formula that gets Tim excited

This is not a major revision. Same chassis design. Just a bigger screen and new processor. If we are lucky, 64GB ram capability.
Apple will trick you into buying a 2019 machine by offering a minimal discount (10% off)....then 1 month later they announce the machine you actually wanted.
Another person that works for Apple, I suppose.
Cmon, either stop pulling these definitive statements out of your arse or at least give us credible information and say you can't disclose source.
Lol and you know this how? The only thing that’s known is that it’s a 16” screen, and that’s still an unknown. There is also a supposed new keyboard design and I’m sure there will be more around the display as well as any internal updates.
Just remember that sale has been going on for 1yr+. They are waiting for our hopes and dreams to die, because then we will just buy the 2019.
A new imac will come but the timing is uncertain,iphone 12 will come in September 2020, new airpods will come but the timing is uncertain

MSI has had the Radeon 5500M for over a month now, Apple can get about anything from AMD.
I’ll wait until the sophomore year of a new model they always seem to add stuff and people complain why they didn’t put it in the previous year
All the leaked photos thus far are what I am basing that assumption upon.
There have been too many reports that the 16" MBP has been in factory production for weeks/months. If there was going to be an event it would have happened already. So, right now, based on what the leaks have shown, the design of the MBP is exactly the same as the previous models. There is nothing revolutionary about this MBP from what we know. Just a larger screen option, hopefully, a new keyboard (which doesn't warrant an event) and more memory options.
My mid-2010 15-inch MBP just died a few days ago, so I really need them to release it ASAP! Nine years was a pretty good run though. I hope when I shell out $4K for the 16-inch, it will be as reliable.
If they ship the latest 45w intel cpu,with navi dgpu latest ssd,that doesn’t mean older generation internals
Maybe even the cooling/fans will be new and not like the current 15”mbp
Nothing is known about what it is or what it isn’t. Like you said, you are assuming. I highly doubt that Apples first refresh of a design from 4 years ago is going to go unannounced at an event.
You have a bad case of “I want it to true be really badly so I’m justifying the reasons it could be true” fever.
If the MBP has been in production for months now and too many sources are saying it has, when would there be an event?
I can't see Apple waiting for March of next year to announce an MBP with outdated components.
Listen, I hear you. You could be right. I could be right.
I would wait till tomorrow before we start talking about 2020. Very good chance the MBP could be announced alongside the Mac Pro.
And, yes, I do want it to be true more than anything which is driving my opinion.
$2,999 is widely quoted as a likely starting price. If it mirrors $2,799 15" MBP as the entry level (8-core instead of 6-core, 512GB SSD instead of 256GB), $200 price increase wouldn't be too outrageous for larger screen and batteries.
The iMac Pro is newer and pretty nice from what I hear, although possibly overkill for your needs? I agree the iMac is due for a refresh. Perhaps in 2020...
I would gladly trade the 8-core processor for a 6-core plus Navi in the base config, but I'm probably being overly optimistic...
