Tomorrow....
PS, some m&$=n says MBP 16 to cost the same as the MBP 15 available next Tuesday, MBP 15 to be discontinued immediately.

Forget the mother. Even Asian elephants are 100kg/200lbs at birth. A juvenile is still the size of a small car.
i know the risks, I am telling you what will happen. Do I want to punch any elephants? of course not, but at this point do I have any other choice. Apple is being ridiculous
I was going to look at the nMP for driving my three Dell 5k displays, but instead I might just get three mac minis and let each one drive one display. Take that, Apple!
Note for ASPCA: no Baby Elephant has been harassed, punch or verbally injured by anyone in this thread (yet...)
Considering some 200 elephants have perished in Zimbabwe due to the drought, perhaps we should be hugging baby elephants instead of punching them.

But Apple's slow rolling of a 'fixed' MBP and Mac Pro doesn't make me want to hug anything, except maybe a porcupine.
Pragmatically can't. One of the roles that the T2 plays is paritally as the SMC (sysetm management controller) ( and looped into PMIC). The way Intel chipsets go the SMC/PMIC hangs off of the PCH. That where the boot process goes and the T2's primary job is to secure and manage the boot process.
Conceptually Apple could build a T-series follow on that did both ( hook to both the CPU PCI-e lanes and the PCH management and local PCIe lanes ) but the problem is that the vast majority of Intel (and AMD's) mobile line up doesn't particularly have "spare" PCI-e lanes the Xeon W series has. Once you hook up a x16/x8 GPU and/or Thunderbolt ... you are basically done in most cases so far.
The issue is that the T2 has to be used on most Macs in order to hit the $/unit counts Apple is probably shooting for. Apple doesn't make specialized ARM chips for every single product. They tend to build a fixed number of ARM chips and then stuff them into multiple products. The T-series probably isn't going to be any different.
The Mac Pro is not going to be the primary driver of T-series feature design. MBP 13" is a more likely primary design candidate.

Tim Apple, you've hit a new low.
Well, get ready for some drama.

I think we might see them open BTO preordering tomorrow. But hold shipping until December.
I'd love them to ship in November, but Gurman is usually pretty accurate.
After your suggestion yesterday that it may be today and there were rumours I did some prodding and I didn't get any bites at all. Not happening in November. Likely Dec 10 or 17 pre orders open with immediate shipping of non CTO's
Quoting myself, it was today 2pm east time.

What they don't say is the MBP 16 won't ship until Tuesday, and Mac pro likely tomorrow open pre-orders or bto configurations are announced, shipping a week or two from now (likely on next Tuesday too) according my source.
Not clear is the rumours on an updated iMac Pro, no cues on anything maybe just an new CPU/GPU option and a chassis with RAM window for friendly diy RAM upgrades.

Yeah, my sources have been pretty garbage on the 2019.
Still wondering if we'll see more on it tomorrow.
so the only difference between release around the MacPro 2013, and the iMacPro 2017, is that there was never an unannounced MBP surfacing out of nowhere around release. I would assume Apple is going to give us a hot update on the MacPro, if they say anything about the 16"MBP at all
that or im straight up punching baby elephants
