Maybe they will be “brave” enough to put a mechanical keyboard in a notebook? One could dream...

#22My 10 year old MBP17 still works, but it's good that finally there will be a replacement option available. Hopefully it will have upgradeable parts again (at least RAM and disk). So please start making bigger MBPs and smaller iPhones!

Pretty sure that won't happen. Don't know why, but somebody in control thinks that professional users prefer the slimmest available device over being able to put in a bigger SSD or more RAM when they need to. Better start looking for something else, because the new MBPs are no "replacements" to the one you have.

#23No more butterfly keyboards please
My dream but it'll never happen. Is bring back the 2015 keyboard and add the touchbar above the fn/media keys, instead of replacing them.
Also add some sort of haptic feedback to the touchbar.

#24Time to save up for a new MBP, my 2012 model is still working fine but I'm guessing Apple will end its support by 2020.
I'm in this position too. Mine (early 2013) is still working perfectly and does everything I need for both work and, albeit a bit slowly at times, editing photos.
I'd have bought a Windows machine for the latter requirement but they no longer appear to sell a _Professional_ OS for non-enterprise customers.

#25If the 16" MBP has a new keyboard more similar to the pre-butterfly one, they're going to sell a bunch of laptops.
Introducing _Classic Pepsi_!

Starting with the 2018 models they added a membrane around all the keys that 1) significantly reduces ingress of random crap 2) makes the keyboard quieter. Before I got my 2018 I had a 2015 MacBook Pro and don't find the keyboard to be inferior or superior to the old gen.
While the current model has better keyboard than 2015 it's still unreliable design prone to gather dust between keys and the new protector. In contrast with the previous gen it was harder to actually make keys jam and even then you could just snap keys off and use compressed air if needed to clean it up in like five minutes.

I just finished 3 days of meetings with peers and the note taker was on a brand new MBP. The noise from her keyboard was extremely distracting. I couldn't believe how loud it was. We switched her to a 2015 so we could think as we were discussing things.
I was in a Starbucks 3 seats away from someone on a 2016-2018 MBP last week. I hope it was one of the 2016/2017 non-membrane models, because it really was ridiculously loud and echoing through the store. I thought the complaints about noise from those keyboards was exaggerated until I had that experience.

That’s a portable desktop computer, lol. Can you imagine Apple increasing the thickness of their laptops by an order of magnitude to do this?

#30I am so sad that the SE line seems dead. Truly wonderful to be able to hand everything on the phone with one hand and also be able to keep it in a normalsized pocket without much fuss. :-(
current SE user here. I cannot agree more.
It’s kind off topic, but what’s make me more sad is since iOS12 update, my battery die so fast!! The update rendered my phone almost unusable!
Is it just me? Or is this Apple’s strategy to drive people to buy shiny-new iPhone?
