My personal MBP is of the mid-2014 variety (port options + MagSafe + physical function keys). My work MBP is from 2017 (4 Thunderbolt ports + Touch Bar). From extensive use of both types, I can clearly attest that I prefer port options and welcome their rumored return. I can say the same about MagSafe: preferred and welcomed with open arms. I also sit in the camp that liked the Touch Bar. In my experience, it was always function keys or app-specific keys when needed. I'm surprised to see it exiting stage left so soon.MagSafe, HDMI Port, Physical Function Keys, everything they removed is getting back. I kinda liked the TouchBar shortcuts on select apps that had them implemented.
Haha, same here.So I have a problem with my MacBook Pro and have had to return to using my 2013 MacBook Pro. I miss the Touchbar after only a few minutes. I use F keys all the time, admittedly I do have to press FN key to get them but that’s not a big deal. Fast forwarding past YouTube vids is a big miss without Touch Bar, working between website backend and front end and other pages without Touch Bar has been a pain, some of my favourite apps make good use of Touch Bar, and as a dyslexic, the predictive typing is a bonus. So me, I want the best of 16” MacBook Pro layout plus those rumoured ports and the M1(+,X,pro, or M2) and I’m good
of course it will....the magsafe is just an optional thing, to keep the others 3 usbC ports free
I doubt it. Can't have the same boot time and general OS speed.Meh, I have a 2014 13" MBP and Big Sur runs as well on it as Catalina did.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to an update of a machine I A) enjoy using I'm B) ready to upgrade. Looks to be a long summer. Stay safe, all.
There is a difference when leaking a concept or a feature from he said she said to leaking schematic engineering blueprints. Apple might not have patented everything they are testing in these labs.“fun leaks”?
Do you think Apple find any kind of leaks fun?
People are acting like MacRumors sent in a team to murder people at an apple design lab and we are now here gleefully talking about the results.
Everything Apple will be fine folks.
My goodness the overreaction here..
Why not both? Those that want to use magsafe could use the new magsafe port, others that want to keep charging via usb-c, just use your usb-c adapter.
Win/win.
Wait - are DSLRs now shipping with USB-C cables (been a minute since I purchased, or even researched, a DSLR)? If so, cool. If not, you're still gonna need a dongle. Having amassed quite the dongle collection, I look forward to returning to a less dongle'd scenario.How many people really need an SD Card slot in 2021?
Even if your primary camera isn't your iPhone... then you can get a WiFi SD card, and your fancy SDLR camera also comes with a cable that let's you upload your Photo's to your MacBookPro via the USBC port.
Just like it’s a classy move for Apple to keep these proprietary/secret preventing right to repair.Classy move, MR, enabling these guys by posting this info. Jesus.
I actually hope a company like dbrand will produce black skins to frame the new iMac's screen. True Tone will look piss-yellow surrounded by a glossy light-colored bezel.
HDMI is about the only additional port that might make sense, but geez, we've already gotten over needing dongles, so why go back? It actually drove me to switch to displayport which is superior for a lot of things.The thing is if you liked magsafe, you can have it with USB-C charging - there are loads of magnetic USB-C charging connectors so I don't really understand why people miss this when we get the choice of either.
The thing i'm going to miss more than anything here is that I'll be losing 1, possibly 2 USB-C ports if I choose to charge with USB-C which I genuinely will as it means it doesn't fall out when you're using it on your lap - I found magsafe more of an annoyance than a useful feature - but with USB-C it gives people a choice - as does having it instead of single use ports.
I get with HDMI that for some use cases - well, one use case...schools with HDMI cables already fitted and HDMI to USB-C adapters not being reliable enough, this solves that. But for me it's not a dust collecting port i'll never use that can't be used for anything else and i've lost the most versite and useful port ever in Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 to have it.
If only there was a port configuration option during check out, then everyone could be happy - pick the ports you want!
P.S. My ultimate would have been 6x Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 ports or at the very least 4x Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 and 2x USB-C.
That can be valid, but it seems for some reason Apple can't or doesn't want to have 4 thunderbolt ports on M1 macs, as evidenced in the M1 Mac Mini. Plus regular macbooks always had only 2 pesky usb-c/thunderbolt ports anyway, if adding magsafe counts as an extra, it has to be win/win no matter how you see it.
Why is enveryone worrying? Apple steal from us too with their inflated price tags.
I’m not sure there’s enough room for everybody in here on their high horse of moral superiority
Needing to use the Fn key is irrelevant. You have to use the the Fn key on physical function keys too. Unless swap the state of the top row and have the function keys the default and needing the Fn keys for the volume/etc keys. But in that case you can just change the TouchBar settings to have it always show the function keys.So I have a problem with my MacBook Pro and have had to return to using my 2013 MacBook Pro.

I literally don't care about a small increase in boot time since its such a rare occurrence for me and Im not staring at the screen while it boots. I did not notice any operational slow-downs moving from Catalina to Big Sur and no additional beachballs or instabilities. The upgrade has been a non-issue for me, even on my old computer.I doubt it. Can't have the same boot time and general OS speed.
Agreed. If anything, joke's on the hackers now as Apple don't give a stuff, nobody's giving them $50m and they'll probably get in trouble for hacking.While I understand the sentiment-this information is now out-so someone was bound to post the information.
Disagree.I agree with others. MacRumors should not disseminate stolen material, no matter the desire for clicks.
Is this MacRumors.com or MacAppleApprovedInformationOnly.com?Why are you posting stolen information?
Heck, doesn't MR want to avoid a Gizmodo-style ban.I have to agree with those that feel this is wrong to publish this story. This has severely tarnished your reputation. A really credible publication would have an ethical standard to follow. Wouldnt you rather be ethical. This makes you no better than the criminals.
No, I respect the fact that some people have a problem with it. I always try to respect EVERYONES opinion, but I honestly don't understand it. You are at a website that main purpose is to distribute rumors and news that wasn't obtained by official means. It's either you are ok with this or not. There is no gray area between how the information they are presenting was obtained if they didn't actively participate in the actual theft, paid someone for the information, or are somehow profiting off said information.You should respect the fact that some of us have a problem with what MacRumors has done. We are entitled to an opinion. Reasonable people can certainly disagree. I can tolerate and even respect dissenting viewpoints. Can you? Oh, and in answer to your question, the answer is no.
