Also, a image of the suspected 16-inch MacBook Pro found in macOS Catalina 10.15.1 seems to imply that a launch in on the horizon. As can be seen from the image, the Touch bar and Touch ID of this device got separated, which could also means that the ESC key will use separate physical buttons in the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
