When to Expect Apple's Next Event: 16-Inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro Refresh, and More?

What could they even update the Apple TV with at this point beyond just a new processor?
Just out of curiosity, do you visit the buyers guide at the top of the page? The MBP has had a 'CAUTION' label for at least some time...and the 16" MBP has been rumored since late spring/early summer. Did you by chance miss that information?
I was more talking about the style and the mount then the specs of the display. Adding the features of the XDR display would increase the price of the already expensive iMac Pro.
Nothing to do with how current games work.
It’s to allow more complex games to be developed.
That's already been established as a 'coming later' feature by previous analyst notes, it's coexisted alongside the late 2019 MBP redesign rumour for quite a while already. As far as the iPad Pro goes, it seems this year we might get a small revision with the triple camera module, but keep the A12X (6GB RAM across the board?) and then jump to a redesign around this new display with a 5nm A14X in 18 months time or so.
Kuo: High-End iPad and MacBook With Mini-LED Displays to Launch Between Late 2020 and Mid 2021
Reiterating a prediction he shared in April, noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today said Apple plans to release high-end iPad and MacBook models with...www.macrumors.com

Same situation and completely agree. 27" iMac at the office and 13" MBP for working from home and on the road. Even with dropbox sync, it would just be easier at this point to have one take it everywhere computer. I do like the portability of my 13", but reality is I sit down and put in on a meeting room table, or plug it into a 27" monitor at home. Actual travel on a regular basis has thankfully become a thing of the past for me.
ARM is too early at this point. Even Apple consider ARM only for MacBook. And the biggest issue would be compatibility with software. Apple's own software wont be a problem but others are.
Read both this and a rumor about MSFT's extravaganza for Oct 2nd. The release of an effective virtualized Windows, an ARM-based laptop, and an effective WSL have the potential to change the Windows game. While I will still buy a new MBPro, I really get the sense that having a tech visionary + effective leader (my sense of what Nadella is) is going to prove very valuable for MSFT.
New updated, refreshed and redesigned iMac’s please please please!!! My 2011 iMac is starting to fade.
You say that but there's no guarantee a new MBP will be a better MBP (particularly with their recent record on MBPs).

Not to mention the IO functionality and extremely competitive pricing.I just hope the 16" Macbook Pro will not disappoint... I'm already looking to jump shipLenovo and Dell have such powerful machines in their portfolio.
Dear God, yes please. Sadly however, I think it’s unlikely we’ll see it at this month’s keynote.

My 2012 iMac concurs!!!
There are a few registered models which were leaked a couple of months ago. Plus the Mac Pro and the new macOS. I think there will be an event for sure.

I hope Apple is refreshing the Apple TV. I want one, but I’m waiting until they release a new model.
Honest question: what about the Touch ID experience on MacBook Pro don’t you like? I think it’s fantastic personally and am curious where the pain points are for others?
I’m hoping for a MacBook that has the new keyboard switch.
Actual Vulcan support would be even better but I don’t see how that is ever going to happen. Oh well, as long as bootcamp works I’ve still got options.

I don’t really see the point in releasing new ipad pro’s right now. The only thing that I dislike about the device is how quickly the Smart Keyboard folio case breaks down. I am on my third one. I replaced one, apple replaced the other.
I need to upgrade my MBP (2011 17”), its GPU died last week and thankfully there is now a way to force it to use the integrated graphics. OK but slow.
Catalina puts an end to many of my favorite apps, and it will force me to either drop them or buy a subscription. Not looking forward to that transition.

That's just a chicken and egg problem. A lot of software will be made compatible only after an ARM system ships.
There's tons of macOS software written using standard Xcode tools and high-level languages (e.g. zero x86 asm). The vast majority of those macOS applications can be simply recompiled for ARM with very little extra work, if any. The vast majority of Linux apps already run on ARM systems (Raspberry Pi's, et.al.), and a lot have already been ported to macOS as well. A lot of Microsoft and Google software also already runs on various ARM based systems. iOS applications could also be easily ported to macOS, both x86 and ARM, using Catalyst on Catalina.
But no developer is going to do that small amount of work until some macOS product ships (or is about to ship) that requires it.
There was definitely news on here about the laptop back in early spring for sure.
Yes, there are at least a couple of officially registered model numbers that still haven't been spoken for, despite the fact that we got the iPad mini 5, iPad 10.2, and iPad Air this year already. I suspect they are for the iPad Pro refresh, although there should be additional model numbers as well that we haven't seen.
Add to that the curious fact that we have iPad codenames including iPad1, iPad2, iPad3, iPad4, iPad5, iPad6, iPad7, iPad8, and then we jump to iPad11. There is no iPad9,x or iPad10,x.
They are long overdue for a RAM upgrade. They have been on 4 GB RAM since 2015 (except for one orphaned 2018 model). This is especially important now that iPadOS is out, and big apps like Photoshop are finally coming out. Plus, even the cheapest entry level iPads now have 3 GB RAM.
I'm hoping Apple announces an updated Apple TV. If they do, it will be my first TV. If they don't, 4k it is.
I'm hoping for an iMac that no longer has the hard drive bump. Don't get me wrong I don't need it to be as thin as a MacBook Pro, I'd rather have it keep enough air space for a proper desktop CPU etc. But they've had this design for a while now. The iMac doesn't need more than a 5K panel, but adding a T2 chip would be nice. I'd probably pull the trigger on an iMac with Apple Pencil support and a Surface Studio style stand, though we all know that isn't in the cards.
Right now I'm cuedup for a new iPad Pro more than anything. I have the 9.7 inch and I want one with an A13X processor damnit!
