Yes, disable it. True tone is the anthesis of a color managed workflow.
Also, is 560 a rebranded 460? It seems to have higher clocks and more shaders so (?)
If he’s like many of the other whiners around here, he’ll end up buying one of these anyways and come back for a few more years of senselessly emotional rants about a hunk of metal.
But same run-time???
It is possible, but Apple appears to have chosen AMD as its life-partner.
I don't think you followed the conversation. 32GB is not available on the 13" and people are upset.
You might as well ask for there to be 32GB of RAM on your phone. I'm going to venture that anyone who is demanding 32GB on their 13" laptop has absolutely no clue about their computing needs, or about what this would imply for heating issues and battery life.
I'm excited though, next step is getting these 15" MBPs with LPDDR4 and an NVIDIA GPU and I'm set to upgrade my 2014 model.
I took my 2016 MB for battery repair just last week, and they replaced the battery + keyboard with the 2017 version. It types just fine, but it is rather noisy.
I think most of us here knew that the new Macbook Pro 2018 will be by far the best upgrade in years because of the step into the 6 core region.
However, what I have not seen coming is the fact that the new Blackmagic eGPU is tightly knitted and fully integrated, software supported and sold by Apple only - That is stunning and that combo represents a true Game Changer for me.
I didn't think my trusted 5.1 would get so much fire from the laptop corner...
Outstanding Apple, the Blackmagic eGPU surprise was the best so far for a long time! Well done. The combo is the ticket..
In Apple's press release it says: "...and a third-generation quieter keyboard..."
It seems like they're almost silently addressing the issue.
Same run time because the new cores are more power hungry
it's "possible". Max-Q 1060 has twice the TDP as Apple graphics chips. They'd have to re-design everything.
I guess it's "possible" because anything is possible.

The internal keyboard is so quiet because you do all your typing on the external one!
All high-end laptops use NVMe SSDs, but they still cost $500-$1000 less than MBPs with equivalent specs.
I am surprised that Apple chose to update MBPs and release an eGPU silently. Why not demonstrate the power of the eGPU if they are so set on widening its adoption? Is it because it does not add much performance to the 15" MBP? Is it because the 13" MBP would look like the better cost option with an eGPU? Is it because it cannot be used with the MB which would benefit most from an eGPU?

The nTB MBP uses a 15 W CPU, and currently an 8th gen 15W Intel CPU with Iris Graphics doesn't exist. It was either stay put (dual core but with Iris graphics) or upgrade to quad core and downgrade the graphics. I suppose they could've put a 28 W CPU in it like the TB models, but that would also drive up the cost...
Most likely because creatives have started to complain loudly (read youtube influencers, journalists on tech websites) that apple is behind on the chip game. Can't wait any longer.
I was informed they use "3rd Generation Butterfly Keyboard" which is not the same as 2016 and 2017 models. I have no idea if these will run into the same quality issues from the past versions, but I sure as hell hope they don't fail over such ridiculous circumstances.
Does anyone else have any details around the design changes from 1st Gen to 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen keyboards?
Wow! Was just coming to MR to lament the lack of updates. Finally 32gb! Nice surprise.
Decent upgrades, but for that price Apple needs to do better, I'll be holding off for another year. My 2015 MBP still going strong. Hopefully next year will bring thinner bezels, variable refresh rate display, 1080p camera, and a good GPU. Offer an NVIDIA variant, there's a reason why all 'gaming' windows laptops use their GPU's.
This is a genuine question: were you not around for the iPhone 6/6+ BendGate debate? Apple came out with a demonstration on how a person could sit on the iPhone 6/6+ and it wouldn't bend.
I understand your point about Arment, but I understand his view too. While Apple is unlikely to add back ports or go back to an older design, it is still a choice for Apple. Would Apple take heat for a reversal in design? Certainly some. Would Apple also earn praise for being flexible and being willing to admit a mistake? Certainly some. And while it would require courage and humility, I think it would also answer a lot of complaints and criticisms leveled by Apple and non-Apple tech journalists alike.
Personally, I think Apple jumped too quickly into an all-TB configuration. I love the technology but Apple afforded no transition period. I wish Apple had the courage to combine the best of the 2012-2015 MBP with the best o the 2016-present MBPs, but that will likely never happen because that is not what Apple is about anymore. That is the difference between Apple when it was guided by Steve Jobs and Apple as it is currently guided by Tim Cook and the BoE.
But...is there still that PoS FaceTime camera?! I mean seriously..it cost nothing these days to have something decent!
Variable refresh rate display will not happen. IT's a battery killer. That's why most laptops dont' have this technology. My understanding is that G-SYnc and Free-Sync does not support optimus-like technologies.
Last time on the Nvidia/AMD talk. NAME ME the Nvidia variant GPU that has 35W TDP. Than we can talk.
Unfortunately they had to remove all the ports to make room for Ivy's design vision. He knows how you should be using the machines far better than you do.
Introducing the 2020 Mac line. No ports, no keyboard. Wireless everything and Siri for the Interface!
