I think Apple is going to be very conservative with MacBook Pro and iMac Pro colors. They take the “Pro” moniker far too seriously, just look at the iPad Pros.

My money is on Space Grey and “Starlight”. I’m typing this on a starlight iPad Mini, it’s an improvement over the old silver at least… but what I really want is that Jet Black that they purportedly spent years researching for the perfect nano matte finish or whatever, released on just the iPhone 7, and then threw in the incinerator. Lol.

I’d like a 16” with Midnight finish (that doesn’t wear off on the palmrests) and a new 30+ display with Thunderbolt daisy chaining and power delivery to replace my aging 30” ACDs please, both with nanotexture matte glass. 

Jeebus anything but “space grey”

and seconded for a new Apple display… I’ve got the LG, it started ghosting, what a bummer of a device… absolutely cannot believe that it hasn’t been possible to buy a decent, sub-$10k display for OVER FIVE YEARS

Odd that anyone would be releasing hardware that only works with Intel Macs at this point. Unless Sonnet knows something the rest of us don't…  

I really wish it had MagSafe, and am frankly surprised that it isn’t there.

PSA: Apple's Lightning has 480 Mbps which is over 80 times SLOWER than USB-C at 40 Gbps! And Apple decided to use Lightning on their flagship $1100 iPhone 13 over the vastly faster better and more compatible USB C because innovation.

I still think Apple has not and will not switch the iPhone to USB-C b/c they want to maintain the dust and water resistance.

Instead I think they will eventually only support wireless charging and ditch the port all together.

Agreed. And that bit about the weird secret 60ghz wireless antenna in the Apple Watch gave me an idea as to how they might pull off wired-speed data transfer without a plug.

Imagine if they made a MagSafe cable that had a wireless antenna that could pull off super-fast speeds at super-short (like, measured in millimeters) distances. You'd be able to seal it off from interference and run at the kind of speeds that WiFi can only do in laboratories. Now you've got wireless charging, data transfer speeds that are faster than Lightning, and no ports!
