I hate this, after weeks of thinking on whether moving back to Apple laptops or not after few years without them I finally decided to get the Mac Book Pro 16 and was going this afternoon to an Apple Store.

I totally forgot that one of the bad things of Apple is the anxiety they create with the new releases. I may stay out of Mac world for few more years.

The 16" was released three months ago. It will not be refreshed soon. The rumors you read around Apple’s releases are just click bait because these websites want to generate ad impressions.

Check https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#mac to see which device was released recently.

Thank you, I’ve been trying to remember where that buyer’s guide lived.

Thanks! It was just a feeling I forgot, I know that they were released few months ago but now I already know about M2.

To me is not a secret that Apple uses this strategy, and I have been a happy Apple user for years.

Anyway, at least i collected few downvotes from the Apple fanboys :)

> I may stay out of Mac world for few more years.

when you decide to jump back in, do it after a refresh. :)

The 14 and 16” MBPs aren’t due for a refresh. The ones up right now are the air, the base model 13” pro and the mini. You can buy the 16” now and expect it to be top of the line for at least one more year.

Just purchase something that's already "outdated". Did this with iphone 11 and macbook pro m1 last year. No regrets, no anxiety.
