Here is what I prognosticate ( and yes it is wishful thinking ).

- iPad Pro (pass; iPad is good enough for me). 
- Mac mini (with some pro options; maybe a 'Mac' as the indicator for the pro Mac mini)
- iMac updates
- Macbook 12" update
- MacBook Air replacement (including the non-touch bar MacBook Pros which will be retired).  not sure what they are going to be called or if the line will be a merger with the MacBook 12" line.
- A new "low end" monitor (27" 5K; 32" 8K will be released in conjunction with Mac Pro
- A preview of the Mac Pro (potentially) with the 32" 8K monitor.
- Revision of Magic Keyboard and trackpads.
  

oh, I was getting a little worried... it was getting late in October with no invitation... saved! 

Finally an event I can hopefully get excited about.

Surely this means we will have a round watch option.

No, this is obviously a hint that we are getting a round iPhone...

(or the circle is meant to represent the theatre / apple HQ... nope can't be that - so round iPhone).

Accident? What kind of Pro™ are you if you can't handle your expensive MacBook Pro and a small accessory carefully?

And versus saddling every other user with a bunch of ports they may not need, the answer is yes.

Do you know about levers and fulcrums?
Saddling people with ports? LOL (Oh no, I can't cope with this extra port on my machine... whatever will I do!?)

Yes, I took physics.

Look, you know as well as I do that keeping every port under the sun in a laptop adds components, weight, bulk etc. People bemoaned the loss of optical drives for a while (still for some I suppose) despite 99% of users not needing to carry around a built-in optical drive. Same thing. 

Not to mention, if you add one USB-A, then the same people will complain about having only one useful port... if you add two, then the same people will complain about having only two useful ports, etc. etc.  Then you will get to the situation where now you have 4 USB-A and then it becomes USB-A replacing some of the USB-C/Thunderbolt ports (most likely) which means building a laptop for legacy instead of the future.  If you want legacy there is a company out there for you... Microsoft.  This has been a clear choice for a long time.  Microsoft (and the same culture) will support hardware that is old, they will likely continue having Win32 in the code until I am dead and my bones have been cleaned of flesh... this culture lives on in the ports you see in most Windows laptops where you are lucky if you are given one USB-C/Thunderbolt port.

It is surprising that she didn’t sue Apple too for failing to protect her data. /s But let’s see her prove the government got into her iPhone. That will prove interesting.

She should not "legally" have to prove it since the government should have to follow the law.  The case should at least get to the discovery phase (assuming the case is civil) in which the government should be required to answer that question (without perjuring).
