- Quad-core i5 standard on the 13" w/ TB, i7 optional
- Six-core i7 standard on the 15", i9 optional
- Battery capacity increased on both models (by 18% on the 13", 10% on the 15") while keeping the same form factor. They may have switched to terraced batteries
- 15" switches from LPDDR3 to DDR4 memory, allowing it to have up to 32GB RAM. Extra battery consumption is to be expected, but I guess that's more than offset by the larger battery capacity.
- TrueTone displays (both the main screen and Touch Bar)
- 3rd-generation butterfly keyboard. They're quieter, feel a little less clicky, but their design is still very similar. Unclear if reliability has improved.
- T2 chip offers secure boot, flash storage controller, encryption, and Hey Siri
- Up to 2TB of flash storage on the 13", 4TB on the 15"
- GPUs are Iris Plus Graphics 655 on the 13", and 4GB Radeon Pro 555X/560X on the 15"
- New Apple-sanctioned Blackmagic Design eGPU with a 8GB Radeon Pro 580 for $699
