That was mostly based off the base-model 13" MacBook Pro from before which didn't have a touchbar.

No, it is based on leaked schematics[1] from one of Apple's component suppliers who were the unfortunate victims of a ransomeware attach.

I'm aware of the leaks/rumors, but I'm saying the M1 MBP isn't any indication. It's not an entirely newly designed body, just the old base model with a new processor (and I think the new non-butterfly keyboard?)

I don’t follow. The leaks indicate Apple is planning a fully designed MBP. The schematics show a completely redesigned chassis and the removal of the touch bar. i’m not sure why the current M1 MBP is relevant here.

There are legit rumors that Apple is specifically killing the Touch Bar as well.

I know, I'm just saying the M1 MBP isn't an indicator because it's not a new design.
