I think the new MacBook Pro 16” will start at $2799 with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD.
I doubt it, my guess is the base model will start from $2999/£2999 with the same specs you mentioned.

Yeah the pace of change is amazing, hard to keep up with, definitely. I feel your pain. Tim Apple has introduced so many iPads, Macs, iPhones and Watches over the last few years, it would be nice if he’d take a little breather. But it looks like there’s no end in sightLOL! I'm not the least bit upset, just exasperated with Tim Apple's Pipeline of Wonders.
Apple has already priced me out of the market
I opted for a Lenovo X1E, the configuration that I opted for cost me 2260 (with incentives) - 4k/32GB/1TB 3 year extended warranty, had I bought a MBP with that configuration it would have run me 4,600 dollars.

If the 16” just replaces the 15.4”, I’d expect it to be around $2,399. If it’s still 16GB/256GB base, anyway.I doubt it, my guess is the base model will start from $2999/£2999 with the same specs you mentioned.
Not me, Apple has been selling 2015 refurbs in the 2k range, that's 4 year old technology. Instead I spent 2k on a brand new machine that faster and more expandable.I would have rather bought a 2-3 year old MBP
Windows has it own advantages, both platforms have their set of advantages and disadvantages.macOS is still the king
In all honesty, I'd be surprised if they price the 16" at such a low level. I think what will happen is that they'll keep the base 15"for 2,400 and offer the 16" as the high end option. I'd say it will start off at 2,999 and go up from theref the 16” just replaces the 15.6”, I’d expect it to be around $2,399. If it’s still 16GB/256GB base, anyway.
Outside of a slightly larger screen, and new keyboard what do you think the new MacBook Pro would have? Do we think they will go silver only for this line?
The recent Apple cycle:
I don't know how regular people are affording the current one, let alone the probably even more expensive redesign. I mean Macs have always been more expensive than other brands, but regular not-so-well-off people like students and artists could still afford them. Now you'd have to be some kind of top 1% millionaire rich person to buy a Mac, especially if you factor in that you'll have to keep spending a lot of money on getting it repaired (which usually means replaced since these things are only designed to break, but not to be repaired).
- Be smart and spend 3 years saving up a ton of money for a new MacBook Pro so that by the time your current one is obsolete, you can afford a new one
- However, new MacBook Pro turns out to be terrible, with unusable keyboard, and the last good one is the one you already own and is obsolete
- Hold off on buying new MacBook Pro, wait for redesign
- Redesign costs more, you don't have enough money
- Save up for another year
- MacBook Pro price increases again, not enough money
- ...
I don't get why prices aren't going down. Tech is becoming more affordable over time, yet prices are going up. Why?
I just want a fast laptop that runs macOS. I don't need a touch bar, I don't need TouchID or FaceID, I don't need it to be super mega thin, and I sure as hell don't need it to have a dead keyboard. Keep the price reasonable and let normal people continue to use Macs.
I really don’t see a MBP lineup of 13”, 15”, 16”. Apple’s pricing is driven by their BOM cost, and I don’t see how a slightly larger screen could add very much cost.Not me, Apple has been selling 2015 refurbs in the 2k range, that's 4 year old technology.

I don't want to derail this thread on a windows vs. mac discussion, other then state that Apple's premium pricing effected my purchase decisions

question: what would we actually like to see added to the current models?Outside of a slightly larger screen, and new keyboard what do you think the new MacBook Pro would have? Do we think they will go silver only for this line?
10.2"? How many g-d different sizes is Apple going to **** out? 12.9, 10.5, 9.7, 7.9 and now 10.2. Why not add 11.65 and 12.376 and 8.9999451 while they're at it?
• Memory upgrade prices are atrocious.I don't know how regular people are affording the current one
11.0”/12.9” iPad Pro were just updated 8 months ago. Based on their previous release cycle timing, one might expect a refresh around next March. But a delay until October 2020 timeframe wouldn’t surprise me at all, with an A14X then available.No ipad pro 12.9?
GAWD really! I am a heavy iPad user and have 3 of them now and even I'm confused!10.2"? How many g-d different sizes is Apple going to **** out? 12.9, 10.5, 9.7, 7.9 and now 10.2. Why not add 11.65 and 12.376 and 8.9999451 while they're at it?

A10, not A7 but yeah, great price for the 128GB; easily 3 years of life. Agree re: the Air 3. Few really need the Pro models, including me... but I still want one$299 iPad 6th gen 128gb at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago will last my daughter at least 3 years or longer (A7 2016 processor)
iPads are commodities. Apple is just gonna to drive its own price lower and lower for 90% of the population that doesn’t want a pro model. . But people are gonna to keep them longer.
Honestly I think the iPad Air 3 is the best value right now. I got it $389 military discount no sales taxes. Great value.
You should consider moving to Windows. You can get a brand new, malware infested POS that will last you two frustrating years with no customer service for $399.
You can get a brand new MacBook Air for $1,200. Not sure why you think Mac is “1%”. Really should not take avg person 5 years to save for that
It will, it’s just a bezel shrink. Probably A11, 3GB RAM doubtful, likely still 32 GB base since it’s targeted at education.Hahaha. Hopefully the 10.2 will replace the 9.7.
I think they will most likely keep the space gray option, its very popular. Outside of the screen and possible keyboard change it will be a spec bump.
Doubt they will be debuting a completely redesigned MBP with just a spec bump, especially if they try and command ridiculous prices.
Pretty sure this will be the MBP we have all been waiting for...new design, bezel-less screen..10nm...LPDDR4..Navi etc especially if they ship in Q4
