Scott
@Scott_prototype
and make it waterproof while they're at it
Mark Bramhill 📻
@mcbramhill
they should make a MacBook Pro with a headphone jack 😉
Christine Chan
@christyxcore
I’d totally buy it if so.
Chris Adamson
@invalidname
Apple still makes Macs? Are you sure?
Rats
@theratsass
No. White ceramic FTW.
Kevin Jones
@vcsjones
I would settle for all of the colors that the regular MacBook gets. A rose gold Pro would be awesome.

@seitensei
As long as they don't remove any ports.
Tze-Ho Tan
@tze96
speaking of which, is the black finish on the Mac Pro the same?
M.G. Siegler
@mgsiegler
FIRST! (They absolutely must. Such a good finish.)
M.G. Siegler
@mgsiegler
So will the next iterations of the MacBook come in “Black” and “Jet Black”? Guessing maybe the former but not the latter?

@mgsiegler
Assuming Batman is a Mac user, he buys the Black MacBook. (Christian Bale, not Ben Affleck.)
Scott Falkner
@leftnotracks
Will Arnett, not Christian Bale.

The Black iPhone 7 reminds me very much of the black MacBook. Finger smudges and all.

@nut_bunnies
You guys are thinking too small. Ceramic. Macs.
M.G. Siegler
@mgsiegler
24k Gold Macs.
M.G. Siegler
@mgsiegler
BLACK not Jet Black ;)
Emmanuel Paraskakis
@manp
the jet black finish is amazing. Way better than I expected
Todd Vaziri
@tvaziri
If I wasn’t totally exhausted right now, I’d mock up a MacBook that had this theme.
Hobie Henning
@HuntHenning
*sigh* I do wish that Nike watch came in red instead of that ugly green
Joohyeong Jake Lee
@KudoKun_Eng
I’m looking forward to scratches on that… lol
KratosKilla
@KratosKilla
Jet or Matte
T.J. Simmons
@tjsimmons
Omg
Adam Hill
@adamhill
As long as it buzzes under heavy load and has no headphone jack.
casper
@caspercdn
Yes, but at least the Matt black
HayPhoto
@hayphotoapp
Don't you think that it will look like a Dell laptop then? 😃
Jim Rhoades
@crushapps
Black, yes. Jet black, no.
Frank
@Torqueville
Jet Black or Standard Black? I would largely prefer the Standard Black one.
Keith Monaghan
@keithmonaghan
Dunno, lots of scratches & fingerprints, probably. But maybe that's just me.
Chris Harrison
@britinva
you had me at MacBook Pro.
Mike Nally
@MikeNally
How about just “Apple should make a MacBook Pro”
Tom Coates
@tomcoates
yes
Josh Centers
@jcenters
Jet Black iMac
Ryan G. Poirier
@RGPphotog
Mac Pro is already Jet Black.
Marcos_El_Malo
@Marcos_El_Malo
old bondi iMacs would look killer in either jet or matte.
Amelia Gapin
@EntirelyAmelia
yes.
MattVolk
@MattVolk
Jet Black MBP is an instabuy, I’d pay the $150 black macbook tax as well.
Jose Gutierrez
@noitsjose
what will be interesting is if they keep the headphone jack or will they add a lightning port?
Kuma
@Kuma
no. Because then I'd have to buy one.
Justin Seeley
@justinseeley
matte black, yes. Fingerprint black, no.
Michael B. Johnson
@drwave
yes.
Steve Haney
@steve_haney
If the rumors are true and they go ceramic, it'll be great if we go back to multiple colors, a la early iMacs.
Njneer
@njneer
I think it’s a matter of time obviously
Jordan Pittman
@jordanpittman
This. Exactly this. I would buy a Jet Black MBP so fast.
Dan Hawk
@Danredwing
matte, yes.
Tom Goodwin
@tomfgoodwin
and a thinner bezel
Chris Diaz
@chrisdiazzz
no because I just bought a MacBook and this will make me sad
Bobby Trif
@trifster
everymac.com/systems/apple/…
I love it but looks like every other laptop.
Scott Stawarz
@scottstawarz
macbookpro in either black would be stellar
Andrew Cassidy
@AndrewNCassidy
YOU CANT TAKE MY CLASSIC ALUMINUM AWAY FROM ME
Ryan O'Leary
@Freakinbuttons
matte or jet black?
Brandon Beck
@hellyesbrandon
Dan Frakes
@DanFrakes
I said this exact thing at my briefing last week. Got the response you’d expect ;)
John Gruber
@gruber
I know that response: 😶
Dan Frakes
@DanFrakes
BTW I’d probably buy that MacBook, whatever is inside.
Brian (((Watkins)))
@SpeakingBee
How about a MBP with exactly the same case as the last one but CPU, RAM, SSD from three years into the future? Wow that wd be great.
Tidmok
@Habadicus
How about a ceramic Macbook?
Marc Plus
@stakwild
Return of the 'BlackBook'?
Chris
@cpm5280
The matte, yes.
Scott Pater
@scottpater
and without a headphone jack!
Ian
@Ianmurren
jet black 27″ iMac? No fingerprints.

100% yes!
Vivek Gupta
@gkeviv
yes!
Infinite & Main
@InfiniteAndMain
si
Jose Reyes
@josereyes0
instant buy
Phil Coffman
@philcoffman
Jet or Matte? (please say matte)
John Gruber
@gruber
I just bought a jet black iPhone, but for MacBooks I mean regular black.
Phil Coffman
@philcoffman
okay yep. I’ve heard great things about Jet Black, especially with how it feels. But yes the regular black for a MacBook would be 👌🏼
Black Knight
@_BlackKnight
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
Ben W. Fey
@andsplat
yes.
Félix Fischer
@FelixFischer91
they oughta do it
Alex McCollister
@alxmcco
yes
Alan W. Smith
@TheIdOfAlan
Holy. Shit. (Immediately starts trying to figure out how to coat his own if they don't.)
Jon Alper
@Jon_Alper
I’ve only wanted it for the last ten years. So yeah.
Alan Northam
@AlanNortham
they should make a 17″ mpb in that color. Or any color.
Alex Hardy
@alexhardymusic
absolutely.
Kevin Hanson
@hungarianhc
I think we are all collectively over “space gray”
Ben Chase
@bbchase
yes please (though more likely it will be a MacBook)
Michael Shane
@michaelbshane
yes
Lou Miranda
@TheNewLou
It's a great way to keep MBP designs fresh without having different designs or electronics. Silver MBP isn't unique like 10 yrs ago
Gilbert Simeon
@GilbertoSimeon
Yusss!
the bastard
@JohnTheBastard
I tried to get
@gak_pdx
to anodize me one but you can’t disassemble the display assembly any more.
Skott Klebe
@skottk
completely bored with the suite of slippery rounded aluminium slabs.

John Gruber
@gruber
Apple should make a MacBook Pro with the same black finish as iPhone 7, right?
Greg Koenig
@gak_pdx
I think they cooked up something special with the new black process, and it wouldn't surprise me if they offered it on the new MBP
Bryan William Jones
@BWJones
Yes, please.
Brian
@briannehring
I think it's more slippery than my 6s and maybe on par with the 6
chipmason
@chipmason
That special finish will be called "rattle can black"
Greg Koenig
@gak_pdx
It is special because I think Apple cooked up new dying tech to get it as deep and durable as they have. Neat stuff
St. Chris
@StC
Jesus Christ, yes.
St. Chris
@StC
If ONLY for the manufacturing video.
Karim Ardalan
@KarimArdalan
yes!!
Steven Aquino
@steven_aquino
I'd buy one, and I'm not a big Mac user.

Chris Freitag
@freitag
Maybe I missed it but which black did you go with? I went Jet Black and love it.
John S. Boyd
@johnsboyd
Is there a case for that?
Michael Macher
@Rootside
Matte black, yes. 1980s high gloss jewellery box black? Not so much.
Michael Macher
@Rootside
Also (obligatory): Apple should make a MacBook Pro, yes.
Matt
@JellybeanJohnny
I'd like to see more of that ceramic color the new Apple Watch has.
stephen mcgauley
@stephenmcgauley
yes! Take my money
Cary
@caryhartline
Isn’t there an assumption that Black is the updated Space Grey?
Nixon
@votenixon
I see a long queue. MacBookPro Stealth.
Dan Rice
@DanRice1992
Matte black yes. 15" glossy black computer? No.
Kane Gruber
@grubi
YES. I've been wanting this for years.
Dave Robeson
@drobeson
Also iPad Pro.
ATP Tipster
@ATP_Tipster1
Jet Black would be nice.
Prescott A. Foland
@PrescottFoland
Jet Black trackpad, fingerprints forever
Nathan Shochat
@natisho
Yes. But cases for Macbooks won't.
Mike
@mikerittman
before we get all fancy with the MBP can we fix the Mac Pro situation? But a jet black MBP would be sweet.
Justin Stanley
@JStheoriginal
I think I'd prefer the finish of the space gray MacBook...hopefully both?
Samantha Frank
@samanthafrankly
omg, stop, I can only get so turned on...
Chris Utley
@chrisutley
how about just an updated MacBook Pro, F the color at this late date
Louis Harboe
@spiralstairs
ceramic
Brian Kieffer
@bckieffer
Yes to the matte Black finish. No to Jet Black.
DizzyMcFable
@Dizzymcfable
a jet black MacBook Pro would be an Insta buy for me.
Nathan Shochat
@natisho
Loved the black Macbook.
Chris Pearson
@maninsuitcase

Herr Vorragend

how much darker is that iPhone 7 compared to the dark MB1?
Chris
@cjmcevoy
I'm hoping for a MacBook Pro with no ports, keyboard or screen.
#InnovationAtEveryLevel
Asko
@askopress
Not sure I want a shiny Mac, but I’d take the Matte for sure.
CK
@BDoma
the already do. It's the one with the hideous black glossy screen with all the fingerprints 😭😬
Andy Smith
@Anndra
Yes, let’s hope they don’t waste their resources on upgradeable hard drives and expandable ram…
SQLProApp
@SQLProApp
apple is not really known for building upgradable systems anymore.
mtrctyjoe
@mtrctyjoe

Daniel Bogan
@waferbaby
Computer says yes.
Antwan van Houdt
@jabwd
they should make a ‘Mac’ with a kaby lake i7 and a 1080… stop this imac laptop on a desk nonesense
Martin Bech
@bechtweets
So right!
Alfred Woodden
@AlfredWoodden
agreed!! Matte black MBP would be totally sex!!!
Nate Bird
@natesbird

Jonathan Buys
@ibuys
I was really looking forward to my phone, watch, and MacBook Pro all being space gray. Now what?
