If there will be this major update in fall 2020 then a minor upgrade in spring or earlier is possible.

Dont worry, everyone believes it will be 200x the cost of the machine that is already 500x the cost they think it should be.
Best strategy is once you upgrade, ignore all news and rumors until you decide you need a new machine...then, when you decide based on experience with your own machine independent of rumors and raves about the machine you dont have, start looking at what is current and what is coming.
My rule is upgrade when new machine is 2x the speed of my current machine, but the 16" is not quite 2x my 2013 mpb, and my old machine is still adequate for my needs.
I wish but I doubt it. The short update between the iPad 3 and 4 is still a stain on Apple. It’s a first world problem, I can get by on 64GB but I’d like 256GB to fit more of my library, funny to see how it keeps getting pushed back though.
Probably because Apple refuses to make a "band aid" upgrade. It is better to stick with proven tech, than to rush to implement something new...especially when they are already working on the replacement.
Also, HDR will hurt battery performance. Maybe the mini LED is efficient enough to minimize the impact of a brighter display? It is definitely a consideration ..
Depends on your 2x speed requirements. I'd expect it to be 2x the speed in nearly all requirements though.
Ah crap now I regret getting the 2019 16”
Only partly kidding.
“Around the corner” syndrome is hard to
overcome.
I literally just said the same thing to myself.
Mini-led, and probably this new mini led cannot be in mass production for the 11”
also so apple flip the coin and they chose the bigger one
They have no choice since Samsung showed first MicroLED ultrabooks this fall (available to buy early 2020). Key question is if they update MBP 13 and Air with Ice Lake and this new panel so all products can have a slightly different spec and price but they do not differ so much in terms of used technology solutions?
Is this a typo??

I think that’s a good analysis. I also definitely see iPad Pro prices coming down with the next release. Retailers have been almost constantly selling them $100-200 below retail price.
hoping the 11 inch pro will be the same...was hoping for march at the very least. will guess have to wait and see.
Why not? I believe Apple currently has that tech on their XDR display. This is not microLED after all (the OLED successor), but still an LCD panel.
It is not just to fulfill Dolby Vision standard but to fulfill strict Apple screen requirements and to reduce amount of scrap. That is why Apple did not follow companies like Dell where there is a big pressure on using latest components to offer it to customer as soon possible and the cost is loose quality testing requirements to keep the product cost on reasonable level. For example most of Lenovo panels have brightness lower about 100 nits than declared in official spec.
Honestly, I’m pretty careful with my gadgets but I love to toss my iPad in a sleeve and put that in my bag. I’m pretty certain the new pro would have bent by now so I’d rather not take the gamble. Waiting to see how the new ones holdupIf true, sucks to be one of the people waiting to purchase an iPad Pro because of the "bending" issue.
I'm in the market for a new MBP next year, so I hope this is true, but 4Q 2020 seems too soon to expect a miniLED display. MiniLED displays are still in their infancy in the consumer market and cost a lot to make. Case in point: There is only one miniLED monitor currently available to consumers, and it costs $4,000.
I feel like the present resolution is very good. I don't think it needs higher resolution. I would be more happy with mini (micro)led screen and higher refresh rate. Also I have the same opinion about iPhones. Screens are perfect. Both LCD and OLED but higher refresh rate would be welcome.
what microled ultrabooks ??? again? MICRO-led or mini led? again pixels in microled are too big and thats why for now we have microled big TVs...for a laptop....i hardly believe what you heard is true...or you are mistaken, like a lot of people microled with mini led
Im not convinced it will come at the beginning of 2020. If I was Apple I would skip that cycle as iPadPro is great machine. I have 12,9 and can hardly think of any upgrades. Camera_ well...I have not used camara on my iPad once...
