Thoughts on a 14" MBP? [merged]

I hope so, but it has not been described alongside the 16” rumours, so it is doubtful there will be one initially. Perhaps next year.
There are 6 model numbers registered in the Eurasian database that are yet unaccounted for. So... maybe a 14’’ is one of those? Or a 13’’ with new keyboard coming this fall with a spec bump?

There haven’t been any specific rumors, but I wouldn’t discount it. A 28W Ice Lake SKU is out and a 14” Ice Lake laptop with LPDDR4 will make a great replacement for the high-end 13” MBP.
That's a good concept. I wouldn't mind seeing the Vega graphics in a 13/14" form. I'd pay the money. I'm currently on a windows laptop and hate windows so thinking of switching to back to mac. I don't really do anything except being your average daily driver which is mostly internet. Youtube, torrents, etc. I travel a ton for work so really I just like a quality machine to use while on the road. Right now I'm in Africa for a month. I don't mind the money but I don't want to spend it just to have an entire new design out a month down the road lol.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t update both 13’’ and 15’’ at the same time to be honest (at least the 4TB port 13’’)
Both releases are constrained by the availability of CPUs. For the updated 13" we'll most likely see Intel Ice Lake CPUs (including all the benefits), but I doubt the 15" would be released with an older chipset – so Apple might be waiting for availability of Ice Lake across the line.
Not sure how likely the 14” models will come out. But, one thing we know now is there are a few registered numbers that were leaked few months ago. Some of them have not yet revealed the models. Personally, I think it could be either the 13” without touchbar or 14” models. Hopefully, we can see new good things 
So much has been rumoured about the 16" MBP, but what about a companion smaller 14" MBP?
It would have the same non-butterfly keyboard and slimmer bezels. And maybe even a dedicated GPU?
If the 16" replaces the current 15" model, I could definitely see a 14" model to replace the 13" MBPs.
However, the 16" simply is a higher end Pro model added to the lineup, then perhaps no 14".

With all of the hype over the soon-to-be-released 16-inch MacBook Pro, I've read some people saying that next year we'll see Apple increase the 13-inch to a 14-inch screen. I don't see Apple doing this. There are no rumors of Apple making the 13-inch a 14-inch. I see Apple reducing the footprint and bezels of the 13-inch instead. Just about everyone I talk with that has a 13-inch love the size of their MacBook Pro and love its portability. Of course all that can change with a note from Kuo. I mean who could have imagined a year ago that we'd be seeing a larger 16-inch MacBook Pro?
What do you guys think?

There were rumors of the 14” together with the 16” but they faded away with time as the 16” became more frequent.
i would like a 14” for programming since I do not need the gpu inside the larger models. A size increase with the price being around the same would be the best deal for me

if they do make a 14 inch. i would like to see a decent gpu, but most of all, more available ram and cores. maybe 6 cores. Dell did this recently with a 13 inch. also there are 13 inches with gpus.
If they hooked that up as an option that would be very welcomed even tho its not likely.
PS: Also give us some more damn ports! I dont own a entree level 3 inch, but only have 2 ports and one used for charging..... ya gotta be joking....

It'll just be the whatever Intel integrated graphics comes with the Comet Lake CPU's. Unlikely to use Ice Lake 15W chips....
