I’m hoping for a MagSafe/USB-C combo port. Having both available would accomplish the same thing I suppose, but combining them would be really cool.
Got a tip for us?

Would suck if they had no design changes, like last years MacBook Pro M1 release
I just want them to announce a date so I quit getting asked every week by those at my office that I've been putting off buying a new MBP for until these are released.
Current MacBook Pros can go to 64GB. Any replacement would do that as well
Apple hire this person!
What's the liklyhood of an updated intel top end model? An 11th gen or even 10th gen CPU for those who still need intel / many of the features possibly not available under M1* that we get with intel based boards?
not listening to rumors anymore. All it is just pundits from people who like to improve their career on false bs like Jon p
You’re on the wrong website buddy
Would it really need magnets? If its supposed to be plugged out when you trip on the cable magnets would be counterproductive. For me the USB C makes a great magsafe substitute, the ports of my MacBook Pro have become too loose that if you trip on the cable the MacBook is not even going to move a millimeter
I'd love a true black color but I've not read any rumors about new color options for the Pros. I have heard there will be color options for Macbook Air next year but who knows? The pundits were sure wrong about the Apple Watch this year so it's anyone's guess.
I believe this will be an A14-class SoC.
I don't expect to see an A15-class SoC in a Mac until the 2022 MacBook Air ("M2").
And with so many CPU and GPU cores, "M1X" is still going to be significantly faster than "M2".
So, basically this is the 2015 MacBook Pro with a new chip.
TAKE. MY. MONEY.
TAKE. MY. MONEY.
Probably about as likely as them putting a floppy drive back in.
It’s going to be a completely redesigned machine with a bigger screen and better chip. 😜

That is the exact hope we all have set for. Hopefully Apple is able to impress us.
Apple rarely gives us all the features that are rumored or wanted. I expect at least some of these items will not be implemented with this release.
One potential problem is the max power provided by USB-C PD. That could be one thing to unleash. If you go with MagSafe, you can include a power adapter higher than the 100W USB max, unleashing the 16" MacBook Pro.
I've got this problem with an HP ZBook from work. It can charge via USB-C when asleep but USB-C doesn't provide enough power so it has its own 150W proprietary charger.
Dear Clients, the pandemic has gone on for far too long and I'm ready to get back to work. I would like to replace my aging Mid'15 MBP with the new version, please call me...
Seems weird that they would bring back SD card and not USB A...
They've been making this particular design for 15 years? Funny, I thought it was a new design, with a new chip, different ports, etc. You know, as described in the rumors.
You can expect about 15% of the features in the OP to actually be delivered.
Apple needs to hold easily deliverable features back for the sake of profit margins and future designs.
