The other likely option is, they are gonna have an intimate event for a special select few reviewers at their loft in New York. They have done that in the past to demo the performance of MacBook Pro's used by artists, scientists and engineers.
Got a tip for us?

"An intimate event for a special select few at their loft in New York"
We are still talking about tech products, right? haha

Things are gonna get wild with all those artist, scientists and engineers in loft together. Especially when you throw in a sexy new machine.
it looks bad but they may just be waiting for parts from intel or others to ramp production enough
they could easily just announce via press release or do an early november event to promote the new airpods too.
What makes this so definitive for you? Are you receiving information directly from Apple?
I beg to differ. Two products that are allegedly in the manufacturing process. And I don't say it in a definitive manner.
We know for a fact that 10.15.1 brings Navi support. Since Mac Pro is not using Navi, there is only one likely explanation. We are definitely getting new Apple hardware by the end of November, be it a 16” model or something else entirely.

In terms of possible press releases for announcing availability of AirPods, 16"MacBook Pro, Mac Pro...
1 factor is that Apple has their earnings call this coming Wednesday. A lot of people originally assumed that there would be an event on Tuesday since its odd for them to schedule the call on a Wednesday.
So perhaps there is a press release/product release scheduled for Tuesday.

We don’t even know if the thing is real, and you want screen dimensions ?
Oh it’s almost here.... “Key You Soon”

Well, we do know that Apple always uses an aspect ration of 16:10. And we know that they usually have 220 DPI displays. I wonder if anyone's done the calculation. When I play around with the numbers, I'd get weird display sizes unlike any on the market. Like 3120x1950, which at 16.4" delivers a bit more than 224 DPI.
But do most rumors put the size at 16.4" or rather 16" or something?
Bingo!
Particularly since the eGPU.io crowd is already successfully enjoying it.
Hey - worst case, no Navi laptop but I will be popping a 5700 XT into my Hack!
”Scissors meet rock. Introducing the new 16” MBP with pebble keyboard. Each pebble is mirror polished for supreme durability and accuracy...”
so I just had a terrible thought....
what if the Navi support is just for the eGPU and has nothing to do with a new product.
^Yep. I'm afraid that's more than likely.

Apple extends GPU support to AMD RX 5700 with latest macOS Catalina Beta
A report today suggests that Apple has added support for AMD's Radeon RX 5700 to macOS Catalina with the release of 10.15.1 beta 2.

When did Apple ever release a GPU driver for hardware they did not ship themselves? Navi GPUs have been around since July. If its meant only for eGPU, why didn't they release it with Catalina? Or even 10.14.6? No, the timing is just too suspicious. But I suppose we'll see either way next week.
ok im keeping hope alive!!!
i probably won't give up the ship entirely until like mid november
where's "Lizard" and "Spock"? ?
In case wet dreams come true: it's a prosumer Mac Desktop. Admittedly not exactly very likely.
They could also simply put in drivers for a BTO option of a mobile Navi variant like the 5500M for the current 15“ MBP just like they did with the Vega options last year.
And like others have said eGPU Option and I don’t see why the new Mac Pro shouldn’t be able to install a normal 5700XT in it as well.
anyone know when this beta on Catalina is coming out with Navi? It's on build 4 right so normally about 7-10?
That would imply 3-6 weeks before we get the device with Navi.

Its build 3 currently. And there is no rule there, really. The .1 beta usually hits quickly.
I'd say 1-2 weeks.
