Think we are just waiting for the digital invites first at the moment. One for the iPhone event, and the next for Macs.
Got a tip for us?

Waiting for 2021 MBP

The 14" is replacing the 4 port 13" and that already has the 16GB RAM and 512 SSD as standard.
True. They are probably assembled and waiting for the launch version of Mac OS Monterey. Ether way, it's very surprising we haven't seen more leaks.
the 24" iMac was also not leaked. Macs don't get leaked as much as iPhones in terms of renders or clones.
Heck we did not even know the design of the iMac till it launched.
I'm sitting her hoping for 32GPU on the 14" and I know I'm going to be disappointed.
Would be cool tho.

Indeed! I think people wants to know more about iPhone than Macs and news are all around iPhone and Apple Watch these days.
In my opinion less people are interested in macs, but a lot of people are waiting a new iPhone (although they have an android smartphone)
Actually I think Mac interest is up by a huge amount these days and it will increase when M1X macs release.
The reason why Macs tend to get leaked less is the quantity of macs made at a factory is much less than iPhones.
Do you remember the hype/interest days prior to WWDC 2021, 99% of people were interested in M1X macs.
Linus was also interested to see them at WWDC.
I think the user might be referring to the situation where some M1 users (how many, not sure) have had their screens crack with nothing more than closing the lid. In some of those cases Apple seem to have denied a replacement saying it was user error and something was on the computer when they closed the lid to cause the crack. There is a thread on MR about it.
I have a M1 Air and it's fine, but that is just me. I don't know how widespread it is or if this happens with the release of every computer.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they didn't change the chassis of either the M1 Air or M1 MBP 13, did they? They did change the keyboard though? I can't imagine a key causing a screen to crack. It would have to come from pressure I guess and the screen was misaligned within the casing or the like??? A bad batch maybe??? Dunno.
Perhaps you should view this YouTuber and the cracking issue…
Yeah they were overblown. The M1 Macbooks use the same screens/panels as the Intel macbooks they replaced.
Legit you hear NO reports or articles or videos about the 4-port MBP Intel Magic keyboard which as the same body and screen as the M1 MBP.
idk man my 16" I had for almost 2 years it is fine. Sometimes my hair falls on the trackpad when I close it but when I open it again my screen did not crack.
Yeah they did not change the screen or the body of the M1 MacBooks. The early 2020 Intel models changed the keyboard to Magic Keyboard.
The M1 MacBooks are the EXACT same expect the M1 chip and the Air not having a fan. Also there have no reports of the 4-port Intel MBP. Seems to me that since this is M1, news and youtubers generate FUD to gets clicks.
It will be 512 GB, I think.

Possible delay of MBP due to lack of available chips.

For the 14” it will almost certainly be 512gb. However, for the 16” there seems to be 2 trains of thought based on how the GPU situation is handled:
1. If the 16” comes with the same 16 core GPU as the 14” then, we may get a bump to 1tb standard.
2. If the 16” follows the trend of previous years by having a graphics advantage over the smaller MacBook Pros, then the 32 core will be standard and the SSD will be 512gb.
For the past few months, I’ve been leaning towards option 2 being the most likely but lately I just don’t know… All I know at this point is that as a 2019 16” owner, Apple gave me a bigger screen, much better graphics, much better CPU and much better speakers to justify the $600 premium over the $1799 13”. I would hope that Apple will continue to give the 16” models some key advantages to justify the price difference. If it’s just a 2” larger screen then that may be a harder sale…
There's never the same level of leaks on Macs compared to the iPhones and iPads (fortunately/unfortunately depending on your viewpoint) so its no surprise that its a whole lot of speculation still.
Unless there's anything from left field, I think we pretty much know what they'll look like - an evolution of the current design - and what ports they'll have. All we're really waiting for is the specs and pricing. Maybe the specs will leak in the lead-up to the event?

I suppose that is true. Last year we were all thinking the M1 would be called A14X right up until just before the event. Even at the event, it was a surprise that we got the Air, 13” Pro and Mac Mini.
So I guess that means we probably won’t have any big leaks until possibly right before the event if they come at all. On the bright side though, that will mean we might get some surprises.

I really wish they'd find a way to make a budget pro - the 14 inch will probably starting out at 1899 and thats really high entry point for a "pro" device. The Air lines seems to be getting all the love.
What will happen if I start to breath in front of the screen?
What will happen if I close the MacBook and but a pen on top?
What will happen if I need to transport it in my hand or a bag?
What will happen if someone touch the screen with his finger?
Wasn’t it obvious that a lot of people will cover the camera?

Also, how old is the article? It states Sep 2nd, but we all know that sites often put updated dates on their articles after they change or update one tiny thing to get hits.
