Jon Prosser: Apple to Announce 13-Inch MacBook Pro Refresh Today

Given the CAN exchange rate hovering at 43%, I have no plans of replacing a solid 2017.
Butterfly keyboards are not reliable and have had to have replacement programs on every model. Scissor switch existed for decades without such a program.
Apple Is burning millions of dollars on the replacement program; $700 for every keyboard replaced. That is the proof any logical person needs.
Yes, they could do that, but I think that Apple would do a simple refresh of specs, or change the design. I guess we will see in the next couple of hours what happens.
Ok, good, now the only products they need to update are the iMacs, which should be next...please!?
I’m not really happy as everyone. I love the current 13” size and weight. I didn’t like the size/weight compromises made in the 16” model. It’s massive. I thinking that’s OK for some users. But the 13” model users want a compact, lightweight computer and the 16” precedent is not bringing hope. Also, the new scissors keys seems to be even more “wobbling” than the pre-butterfly ones, and mushy, like an old abused computer. I will be sorry to see the 13” disappear.
And I’m okay with this. The butterfly key was decent, but it’s not meant for long periods of typing. My fingertips were fatigued quickly. Never had that issue with other keyboards.
(Except for all those years of reliable scissor keyboards that Apple sold before introduced the butterfly keyboard.)
It depends. iPhone SE was launched on April 15, a Wednesday. MacbookAir was announced March 18, still a Wednesday.
The last iPhone event was a Tuesday, but as far as I remember the spring event in 2019 was on a Monday and they had the week of announcements with a press release each day with a new product. The new MBP could be launched today as far as we know
