Is it possible Apple will release another MBP this year? Anything is possible. But I would wager it is extremely unlikely. Apple has been getting a lot of flack for the KB so I expect the next MBP to be their redesign (whatever that will mean) and if they were to release that later this year you'll have a ton of angry people wondering why they did the current 2019 release.
Might be early to assume the keyboard works: its key travel is 0.7mm, similar to the butterfly keyboard.
What does it matter if they still haven't fixed the keyboard. It will just drive people to others.
I know, I'm a member of this site lol
We shall see what happens with this new situation.
One things for sure I'm going to avoid a laptop that costs a grand plus with uncertainty
They will come to the MBP once they are released on late autumn. I expect late November launch with AMD Navi.
LPDDR4 3 years ago? Must have been an exclusive part with some secret-ass silicon

It was DDR4 SO-DIMM chips, like this:

LP just means low power.
LPDDR4 is lower voltage, and has less bandwidth but more mobile friendly & often soldered to the board. Did I miss anything? Fact is that DDR4 laptops have been around for years.
Didn't DDR4 support start with the Skylake CPU's? It was never an issue in tens of millions of business laptops sold in the last 4 years. My point still stands that DDR4 has been in laptops for years.
Well, being less power efficient is never an "issue" until the more efficient option becomes available. And in the case of MBP 13" for instance, Apple chose power efficiency above performance in RAM choice. The availability / possibility to use LPDDR4 solves / improves both scenarios.
True, but you said the highlighted "16 GB LPDDR4 Ram" was in your laptop. It was not.
Well, I’m just nitpicking, but LPDDR4 is not just more power efficient DDR4. It’s different command encoding, different bus width, different everything. LPDDR4 is also more expensive, requires a different memory controller, and does not come in modular form, so it has to be soldered on. I don’t think there is any laptop shipping with this type of RAM, but I’m sure we will see them once Ice Lake is out.
P.S. Also, if I understand it correctly, LPDDR4 is also faster than DDR4.
