Live by the rumors, die by the rumors.
If you look back to when we first talked about the Pro's getting the scissor keyboard - it was always reported they would not get them until 2020...

"Kuo believes a new scissor switch keyboard will also be used in the MacBook Pro, but not until 2020."
Although bilateral charging was apparently a possibility and was just disabled. But the hardware's there.
That changed -- and from the same source.

I heard on MacWorld podcast and a couple more places that that is probably why the Apple logo was moved down the phone to the center of the back. The gimmick would have been something along the lines of, “Just touch the logo to charge”.Although bilateral charging was apparently a possibility and was just disabled. But the hardware's there.
That's the same article I linked to, Ron.
I do see though that you're right - the same analyst has since updated his prediction, now saying the Pro's will get the new keyboard in 2019. Keep in mind though that his prediction for the Airs getting them turned out to be wrong when they were released just one week later...

Maybe I’m reading that incorrectly. But I interpreted that to mean that the bilateral charging board wasn’t on the 11 tear down, but I didn’t see it invalidate that it was on the 11 Pro.
Last two late October events were announced and held less than one week later. 2016 was 7 days 2018 was 4. So it could be October 25th before we see invited if it’s really happening.
Current rumors I've read (iMore, mostly) are guessing last week of October.
I'm a bit anxious they're going to announce a new $1400 iPad Pro. These rumors it will be a three-camera sibling to the iPhone 11 Max is interesting...but a complete waste of money for me. I buy the iPhone for the cameras. I buy the iPad for the screen and apps, but never use the camera. I want to upgrade to the iPad Pro for more screen per diagonal inch, but don't want to pay a big premium for cameras I'll never use.
We'll see!
Oh, it's happening...or you are eating mushrooms, my friend.
The mushroom offer was only if they introduce the new MBP as a press release, not if they would or would not have an event.
