New MacBook Pro Models Coming at WWDC, Suggests Leaker

[Lounge vibes 05]

I’m okay with losing the Touch Bar as long as they don’t lose TouchID.

Seeing as they just brought touch ID to the iMac, I don’t think it’s going anywhere on the MacBook Pro anytime soon

Was going to get the new iMac, but I want to see what the new MacBook Pro will look like before I pull the trigger.

Thank god Ive is gone.

Jony Ive’s product designs saved Apple and revolutionised the industrial design of the computer and smartphone. We don’t know how constrained he was in design changes under Cook’s leadership.

Keep in mind, announced at WWDC and released second half of 2021 can mean end of 2021. I think my Mac Pro arrived like Dec 27 or something.

Let me guess based on the Ipad pro tactic, the 16inch will have all the new things while the 14 will be just a bigger screen.

Go back to WWDC 2017, it was chock full of hardware releases and announcements.

I should have clarified and mentioned “largely software focused”😊

 

[3xBoom]

This sounds so go-o-o-o-o-d!!! Bring it on, Tim!

 

[Serban55]

Mark Gurman also said as early as summer, so Prosser is just regurgitating Gurman’s article. My take on Prosser is that he’s full of it.

Tile design and the imacs , he got them right..so he has some good source, but just one of them its right

But it's not like you cannot use HDMI with current Macbooks. You just need a dongle. In fact, pretty much most Windows ultrabooks use dongles as well. The only difference is Apple sells the dongle separately, while most Windows OEMs include at least 1 basic dongle (usually USB-C to USB-A + HDMI) with the laptop.

I'd rather have a multi-purpose port like USB-C that I can convert to almost anything vs a single-purpose port like HDMI.

I agree. The USB-C only design is one of the smarter choices by Apple. Makes little sense to pull back on it. Especially since any professionals have already adapted.

The versatility and flexibility of USB-C is sublime.

 

[cupcakes2000]

Dropping a usbc/TB port and replacing it with a single use port would be a really terrible idea. I’m struggling to believe they’re going to do that.

On another note:

It won’t happen, WWDC is entirely software focused only

I should have clarified and mentioned “largely software focused”😊

That’s not clarifying, that’s changing what you said entirely!

If the new 16" model can match the performance of the 2019 16" (8-core, 5600m) with double the battery life and no Intel 65 degree idle, id be willing to put up with the workflow downsides and iOS-style limitations of big sur / ARM

Which iOS style limitations?

 

[Ion-X]

One can make an argument that his 1998 iMac design saved apple

His iPhone designs also saved Apple. He did it many, many times.

 

[Axemantitan]

… and you’ll see why 2021 won’t be like 1991.

I was hoping this year would be 2 Legit 2 Quit.

 

[Trenches]

This sounds so go-o-o-o-o-d!!! Bring it on, Tim!

Plot twist: available only in 34 Lisa Frank-inspired patterns.

 

[coolbreeze2]

I'm first in line for either a 14 inch or 16 inches, depending on price.

 

[transpo1]

This doesn’t seem likely. Rumors were the M1X just started production this month. It should be months away from release. Ramp up takes months.

Announced June 7th, shipping late July, so effectively August. That is months.

 

[hatchettjack]

No Touch Bar is a deal breaker for me! I love and use it all the time!

 

[Ion-X]

I'm first in line for either a 14 inch or 16 inches, depending on price.

I’m really struggling to decide which one to get. The 16-inch would be the most powerful and beautiful computer I’ve ever owned but the 14-inch will be quite portable. Ultimately I may end up getting the 16-inch for power and long-term sessions, and also get an M1 MacBook Air (possibly the redesigned 2022 model) for portable needs like vacations and coffee shops.

 

[coolbreeze2]

Anyone need a 13" M1 MBP? 🤔

LOL I feel the same way. However, the odds of getting anywhere near the amount I paid for my M1 Air are small. I'll just have 2 notebooks. I will trade in my 2018 MPB for the new M1 MBP and keep the M1 Air as my portable machine

 

[ghanwani]

I’d be interested in any MacBook model that weighs less than 2.8 lb.

 

[nquinn]

You can buy from a retailer with a longer return window. Amazon is one option, although they are currently backordered on the MacBook Air.

I would use a burner device for a few days while you wait out the announcement.

The problem is it's very possible the machines will be announced at WWDC but not available to ship for 1-2 months

 

[coolbreeze2]

yeah, but isnt there a translation layer that affects performance?

No. I have an M1 Air and you can right click any application to see if it's Universal or Intel only. The Intel only apps run through Rosetta 2 and I don't see any slowdown compared to the app running on my Intel MBP.

 

[familychoice]

I must be weird, I actually quite like the touchbar on my Intel 16”. Use it loads, in particular, it’s a really handy volume control. I’d actually really miss that.

 

[IllinoisCorn]

Sounds great. All that power would be wasted on me. I mean, unless it can make Word and Outlook do my job for me.
