Perhaps it’s because I’m used to seeing most of the details on new iPhones and iPads released before official announcements, but is there a reason we don’t have more unified information regarding the 16” MBP? I understand that handheld devices far outsell the mobile computing market but you would think Apple would be more invested in guarding that lineup from leaks than their general computing line. I find it odd that nothing of note has really been leaked regarding an updated MBP line.
This leads me to believe that the next update will be just that, a marginal update. I feel as though if there was a major redesign, even if it was mostly internal and not visible to easily distinguish modest changes when viewing the device externally, more information, design, or production leaks would be out by now, especially if the device truly is in production. Does this mean the “new” 16” MBP is just the current 15” MBP with a larger screen, smaller bezels, and roughly the same internals? I hope not as I feel that Apple is rapidly falling behind in mobile computing (on every front; laptops and tablets included). Apple will always have the advantage when it come a to ecosystem, aesthetics, and simplicity of use, but they are no longer the leader in innovation.
I was really hoping to see them release a more “pro” choice in a laptop, even if it was extraordinary priced. Seeing a company like ASUS fitting a desktop GPU (for design, not gaming) in a relatively compact laptop just shows how much effort other companies are putting into their mobile computing products.
Obviously none of us know, and even those in the press releasing the limited information that they have doesn’t mean that any specific product will be released. Just hoping to see some more innovation from this arm of Apple.
