You’d think so but despite having TouchID-on-the-power-button available they didn’t use it on the iPad Pros, inexplicably.
Got a tip for us?

Because memory chips in the slim packages necessary to fit in the semiconductor package cost a lot of money!
Not cool. You should never "purchase" something with the intent to use it and return it. This is a huge problem in retail and drives up the cost for everyone. Also, just not ethical.
Couldn't care less about them being colored as long as the bezel remains black.
I would hold onto it until at lease Rev B or C since this is gonna have the blooming effect Mini-LED.
I didn’t intend to offend rather be respectfully harsh. Your “they need to do it, no excuses” attitude without at least acknowledging the reasonable difficulty/plausibility is seemingly just as rude.
Additionally, in the realm of webcams, 720p isn’t “garbage.” Zoom, for example, deems FHD a premium feature and doesn’t even support UHD/4K.

Lastly, referring to a MBP as a “work station” system is a stretch. “Prosumer” is more accurate. Apple’s only (current) workstation-class computer is the Mac Pro.
With that said, you’re allowed to demand/expect whatever you want from Apple, but others (such as myself) can equally post counterpoints.
If they keep Touch ID it will be even better. I wouldn't mind the removal of the touch bar but Touch ID was super convenient.
Apple is about to burn a hole in my pocket

If the MBP is coming out in two weeks, I’m betting money it won’t have mini-LED. Apple is having supply issues, for one, and a new pandemic wave has hit Taiwan
Because the iPad pros already have face ID.
The MacBook Air has touch ID without a Touch Bar, and the MacBook Pro already has touch ID. It’s not going anywhere, even if they get rid of the Touch Bar
There aren't really any iOS style limitations present in M1 Macs. Rosetta 2 takes care of anything not natively written in ARM arch.
We're also expecting it to greatly exceed the current gen performance as well as the increased battery life and much cooler running temps.

More like "intended to insult."
I still miss my old 17” MBPs. Real nice having two docs side-by-side and still having room for more.
They’d be really freaked out by how much Porsche charges if you want to upgrade to colored tire valve stems.
This is hardly a typical year. Apple is moving ALL of their computers to Apple Silicon very quickly. That is a lot of models to update and announce. WWDC is a good place to launch the new pro Macbooks as devs are a natural market for them. [edited for typo]

Indeed -- they seem to have really accelerated their introduction of new platforms. The period of a few years ago feels like drought compared to the rain of new devices and device updates over the last couple of years.
On a serious note, the reflection in the glasses hint that xcode and pro apps like Final Cut Pro are coming to iPad
You are probably thinking of Rosetta 2. What it does is translate the Intel-based code into AppleSilicon-based code when the app first runs. After that it is the translated code that runs. This is not an emulator. There is very little overhead beyond the initial translation time (seconds). For many apps, the Rosetta 2 translated app run faster on the M1 Mac than the original code ran on the equivalent Intel Mac. A large percentage of apps have already been recompiled to Apple Silicon and install as universal binaries. Very few apps are written directly targeting specific chip architectures these days. Porting to Apple Silicon is mainly recompiling, retuning, and testing. The MS Office suite has been ported, Adobe Photoshop has been ported. Lots more have been. The main holdout seems to be apps with a lot of old plugins which don’t always have someone maintaining the code.
If they do bring back magsafe, I bet they keep the USB-C charging as an option. It is so built into the spec and their system for USB-C that they would have to do exta work to remove it just to make things less convenient for their customers.
Or they can use the space for 2+ USB-C ports. Allow 2 ports to be bonded together for 80Gb of bandwidth. Then 3rd party vendors can produce dongles to support HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0, etc.
ARM and M1 are fantastic (on my MacBook Air)
Big Sur should be called Bug Sur.... it one of those OS X releases that's just bad.
They need to go back to making things work again in the next release. Slimming, trimming, and fixing up things, stop adding new launchpads and whatever, and just focus on size and speed. Then it will fly.
