Anything that can get me better performance for Bootcamp gaming.
I don't have the physical space for a Windows laptop and my 2017 560 gets me by most games but won't do the trick forever.
The idea is just recess the rear two ports (left & right) with a slightly larger surround gap to make room for the adapter so you have the ability to use if for either power via MagSafe or USB-C device. If you look at the iFixit teardown you'll see this is not that big a leap and if you look at some of the USB-C magnetic plugs being sold they would fit! Flush with the case or slightly raised.
You mean that photoshop for iOS they announced nearly a year ago to help sell iPads? Sounds like 2019 iPads will appear before this. Wonder why people aren’t a bit upset. This was often the reason cited for those getting a 2018 iPad Pro.
Easy. Under Tim stockholders are priority. If consumers pay it, they'll exploit that.
There is no "other than Apple needing to make more $", that is it.
If the display itself has rounded corners like has been shown in all renders, then count me out.
Rounded corners, like on phones these days, might work for consumption devices. But not for production devices. A 16 inch with rounded corners and software that is meant to be displayed on all square displays will result in a display that is probably smaller than the current 15.4" square display...
Video footage, photographs, print paper, design prints and proofs, and many other things, will always have source material and finished material that has square corners. A display with rounded corners will be far less efficient to work on.

If the 15 inch is still around, I feel like everyone is in for some sticker shock. Apple will price it higher than their current "pro" laptops.
If this is the higher end Pro system then it should have two PCIe/NVMe slots to support secondary storage onboard at least! With the base T2 flash storage. I think Apple needs to think outside the box a bit. Serviceable RAM could be used again with a better architecture.
euh, count me as a pro, but the few USB-A devices I still regularly use got a new cable...
If you are working in a studio like me, it is not a problem to use a hub anyway (I did for a long time, it replaced an existing USB-A hub but had much more ports.)
I am talking for me and my needs of course, but I think the time for USB-A is over.
Nah, I'm doing quite fine in my current profession, thanks for caring.
Can you stop? I've seen some posts by you that are so distasteful it's obvious you're not as rich as you think you are. I come from old money that would put your medical practice earnings to shame, but you do not see me (or anyone else here) trolling about what they make or what they have. Respect other members too.
That being said, this MBP is exciting for the future of the MBP. I can't wait to see it & buy it; although, '15 is a bit big for me.
I've got plenty of pre-USB C devices. Chargers for example. An external mouse. Audio input.
On the other hand, a tiny external hub would do just fine for all the stuff that doesn't require performance. And you are unlikely to use six ports if you are on the road anyway.
Since I rarely use it (but if you need it, there's no replacement for it) I bought one for £2.50 on eBay. 100Mbit/s only, but it works. If I needed more I would have paid more.

There are no 15" MBPs anymore with less than six cores. So you might be right, but it will be absolute performance.
I'd guess that this is a minor enhancement based around screen and processors. It will be a welcome improvement, but not a huge game changer. If these models don't have major engineering flaws, I might buy one in the 2 Gen.
I love the USB-C ports and need nothing else, but I wish there was a way to expand their capabilities. Maybe 5 or 6 USB-C ports, at most. The C ports are completely versatile and keep the notebook slim.
LAME.

man... as soon as i convinced myself that my next mac will be the 13" mbp, they go and rumor something sweet like this...
That's Tim Cook's Apple. No more 'one more thing' surprise as under Steve. But instead lots of promises that take years to actually come out or never do (see Airpower). Just to get another quick sale.
Doubtful it'll be released that soon. I'm hoping for an exclusive color -- maybe deep black like the 2006 MacBook.
Because the screen size isn't the only difference in hardware. The base 15" MBP has six cores instead of four, i7 instead of i5, 2.6 Ghz instead of 2.4 Ghz clock speed, 16GB RAM instead of 8GB, and a Radeon Pro 555X instead of the Iris Plus Graphics 655.
I've been doing a lot more on my laptop lately, so going from a 13" to this beast is definitely something I would consider.
