I really hope this is coming to an end now. After six years of using a 5K iMac as my primary computer I am now going mobile only, and I really hope I can do this with a 14”. I also really hope there is a new 5-6K display to go with the new laptops.
Got a tip for us?

I am sure the 16" will have more graphics cores purely because it can dissipate more heat
Hoping we get an invite. Honestly to anything now. To a pig kissing contest. Sure. why not. I am that desprate.
I hope so, I was really expecting these at WWDC, it's been a long wait.
I just wanna connect to two monitors right now, my M1 Air was a temporary solution after selling the 16”
Admit it: if you replaced those pigs with yellow lab or golden retriever puppies, you'd take that invite in a heartbeat. 😜
I refer to next week sorry. I know Tuesday it’s the day that Apple send usually invitations
With this and the leaked resolutions in the recent macOS beta it does look promising... it would be cool to find an icon of the laptop like with the 16" a couple of years back, I guess it depends how much hype Apple want to drum up before hand, stuff reached fever pitch after this.
It’s worth remembering that some sources suggested the MBP event may not happen until November.
🤣 just trying to not be setup for disappointment expecting an event invite announcement this week when there may not be one until next month (or beyond)Heretic!!!!!!
And only then because the iPhone announcement got delayed into October.
All iPhone, watch and iPad announcements (that were otherwise imminent that is) have been dealt with. Apple are heading into some very clear air right now.
It would also be fun if Apple were to have a proper product release, with plenty of shipping units and mature reviews, well before Intel's Alder Lake comes out.
Here's to Alder Lake being DOA
EDIT: OK, Alder Lake probably will be good. But I can't forgive Intel for close to 10 years of stagnation and 5-10% year-year gains. I have no doubt that if not for AMD's Zen and Apple's in-house efforts, Alder Lake would be yet another iterative rehash.

I think it will be by the end of October at the latest. Notable the ship dates are getting further out.
If it continues getting delayed, it going to feel like that we have been waiting that long for a new MacBook Pro.
I think some Apple Store insiders like L0vetodream already knew the event date and shipping timeframes but he’s not revealing anything anymore
What is the guess on the wait for BTO? Last year I waited about 6-7 weeks for a M1 MBA, but that's because I didn't order straight away.
What's the usual wait time on BTO if you order as soon as it goes live? I'm guessing 2 weeks...
