OK, there were several posts on the 13" machines. I think you had mentioned you were trying both the 1.4 and 2.4 and decided to keep the 2.4. Did you end up returning both of those?
Woowooo the notion of returning is indeed not a bad idea after all, before anything else brace yourself you need to load in more wards of cash for 2020 .. higher price as a standard.
Why would you think a 2019 15" is EOL soon? Is this a joke or do you define 'end of life' differently? I really can't tell....the 2019 15" will be a well supported powerhouse for years so I'm baffled.
Oh, unfortunately many sources point to EOL for 15” end of 2019 sadly.... a great machine!!
EOL doesn't necessarily mean end of support, it just means Apple will stop producing, marketing and selling it, presumably because they'll replace it with the 16". Of course the 2019 15" will continue to be a well supported powerhouse for years, even if its EOL (from Apple's perspective) is coming soon. Much like how the 12" is still well supported for consumers despite being EOL.
Just because they may stop producing a 15", why does that mean you need to return it? Your statement came across as if it's going to be a brick when (if) the 16" comes out. End of life typically means the product is nearing the end of its usefulness which is why your statement is confusing to me.
Well, if given the option to return it or sell it now, I’m pretty sure most would return their 15” as the values will drop... that’s my point... believe me, I love the 15” amazing machine... hope they leave it IN the lineup, and stop messing with everything..
It's perfectly reasonable to wait a month or two when a brand new redesigned model is expected to be coming out. The 2019 MBP that's currently on the market is a 3 year old design. Unless you absolutely need a laptop right away, it's the right move to wait for the new one. All the poster was saying is that they would rather wait for the new MBP to come out rather than having a laptop that might be EOL (being replaced by the 16" on the market) and therefore no longer the top of the line product that it is now. I'm not sure why you're making a big deal out of this.

FWIW, this is also what I've always understood 'End of Life' to mean, the end of it's full support cycle, not the cessation of it's production/ availability for sale. In Apple parlance, 'obsolete' means no further hardware support either, so that's probably what I'd consider to be an 'EoL' MacBook. Discontinued (from sale) is how I would describe products such as the 2018 MBPs which are no longer manufactured and sold (new) but are still fully supported for hardware and software servicing going forward.

You're completely ignoring context, nobody in their right mind would claim that a brand new 2019 MBP will stop being supported anytime soon. There has been multiple threads and countless posts on this site about the much speculated 16" and what that could mean to the current line of products. Many people have claimed that it would mean EoL, meaning Apple would stop selling it and replace it by the new 16".
I do apologize if you haven't kept up with the developments but if you have, then getting hung up on the technical definition of EoL is being obtuse for no apparent reason when it is clear to almost every one what the poster was saying. We've been having the same discussions on here for months.
....and you're still making a big deal out of it. You're funny. Bye. So glad the ignore button exists for people like you.
It is actually up to you
If you need to edit 4K medias all the time, the i9 2019 macbook pro should be the one
There are good rebates (20 to 25%) currently in Canada on the 2018 i7 2.2 15-in.
Do you think Apple will release a strong contender (price and performance wise) to this base 15-in, in October-November? Or if it'll probably be a high end 16-in mostly competing with the current i9 15-in?

I don't think that applies to Apple anymore. The 2018 MBP is as good as the 2016 in my book, despite countless updates. I'd rather call the 2016-2019 MBP the first gen. So I'll definitely give the new 16" a shot, since it hopefully will address all shortcomings of the previous ones.

Still waiting for 13" or thereabouts with 32GB RAM capability... was rumored earlier... still waiting.
Will be more than possible on the new architecture.. But let's see if Apple actually implements it.
