Ming is saying again today that he thinks it’s coming out this fall.

Apple has always been focused on have a consistent design language across its product line. Even the keyboard for the new Mac Pro uses a different shade of silver than whats found on other product. Its just that, the Mac Pro happens to be the start of the new generation of this design.
Its not gonna be extremely different, just a thinner lighter version of the Intel 2006 MacBook Pro. It believe, Apple might use something near the previous generation retina MacBook Pro chassis to accomodate the thermals and scissor keyboard. Basically, backtrack.
Welp Ming is saying scissor keyboard coming to 16.4 inch MBP this year.
The only thing I need to know now is will it have face ID. Then frankly it's a dream machine.

It's not coming at the iPhone event - It'll probably be an October Mac event or the like. Sometimes, Apple will throw in a minor additional piece of iOS hardware at the iPhone event. I wouldn't be surprised to see some revised iPads or someting like an AppleTV (technically not iOS, but almost) in with the phones this time, because the phone release is relatively small.
I can't remember a Mac ever showing up at the iPhone event, and this isn't "just a Mac" - this is a major redesign to a major product.

I’m not sure if this counts but they announced the rMBP at 2012 WWDC alongside a new iOS and macOS/OS X.
What else would they announce alongside the 16 inch MBP? Mac Pro info...maybe new iMacs/iMac Pro? Mac Mini refresh?
For what it's worth, I had a consultation with an Apple Business rep yesterday morning and she asked me if I was interested in purchasing computers now, or waiting until the fall when they are supposed to release the new ones...
I know this doesn't count as evidence, and she may just be getting the same information here on MacRumors, but throwing it out there as another data point.

How about a Pro-focused event? MBP 16, Mac Pro shipping (with full price lists disclosed), probably iMac Pro? They may try and throw iPad Pro in there as well...
what to announce at iphone event? i mean we will get just 1 hour event...2019 ihones are not so different without any major features/design...to have 2 hours to present 3 phones its clear too much so, i think we can get the macbook pro 16" with more mac pro details
Aren't they refreshing iPads too? I could see them filling the time with non-iPhone non-MBP things.
iPhone Pro will be a 6.6” OLED Panel Apple is buying from Samsung (which is being used in the 2019 Note 10 Plus)
With 120Hz Promotion Refresh rate.
As you can see here some phones have already sourced this part from Samsung.

It will also be 5G and have at least 8GB LPDDR5 sourced from Samsung.

Starting Prices will be IMO $1,300 to $1,500 for the 2020 IPhone PRO.
Is there confidence that a new 13” will be coming out in October?. I thought it was just a 16”. I just placed an order for a 13” as it was only released in July but I am seeing rumours of a new one in October so I am tempted to cancel it.
We aren't sure about anything at this point. If you need a computer buy something cheap until the new one comes out or just pull the trigger now.
I do need a new computer. Its just if im spending 2k plus on a laptop and new version comes out a month after, i would be pretty annoyed tbh. I had just thought that the rumours were about a new 16"model.
Its not due to be delivered until the 8th so i still have time to cancel the order. Hopefully there some news in the next two weeks.
I'd just cancel and get something between 500-700 euros to do the work until the 16" or whatever comes. I wanna do the switch from the 13" 2017 to a 15"/16" but I'm waiting on a redesign since this 13 is still kicking... I'm having issues with this one because I don't have enough memory for a Windows VM with full blown apps alongside some other issues with screen size and what not.
Ahh ok. i think my use case is different from yours,. I want a 13" one. 2.8, 16gb works for me. If there is a new 16" resigned one that makes sense. It fills a gap that doesn't exist currently. fine. I will just be annoyed if there is a new 13" and 15" model aswell because then it makes no sense to buy one right now.
Hopefully the rumoured increase of 0.4" in the same 15" body is not the only change.
Hopefully it is. I just returned my 15 inches 2019 as I feel it is a bit big (and heavy) and as the 16 inches rumour coming out.
If it can be fit in the same 15-inches body I will reconsider it.
I'm talking more in terms of what else... Keyboard, touch bar removal/ update, ports, etc. Otherwise I'd just go for the 15" now. I guess we'll see...
OK, that doesn’t make a bit of sense. You just returned a 15 inch because it was too big and heavy but if the 16 inch comes out in the same body you will considerate it. Clue me an on how this makes any sense?
Intel just started shipping 10nm parts... If Apple is indeed one of the first to get these onto the 16" then we got a beast coming
