15" has no "new" hardware. the 15" non-touchbar model is the old one, without usb-c and old processor.

There's a 13" new one without touchbar.

As others have pointed out, the 13" max specs are inferior to the 15" max specs.

True, but its 13" non-touchbar max specs are same as touchbar 13". So the comparison isn't really fair.

The touch bar 13" has 4 Thunderbolt ports and Intel Iris 650 graphics, compared to the non-touch bar with 2 ports and Intel Iris 640.

Adding on: the touchbar 13" has 3x3 MIMO wifi (supporting up to 1300Mbps), while the non-touchbar one only has 2x2 MIMO wifi (going up to 867Mbps).

Oh, that really IS spiteful.

Ha ha, I was happy it had 2 ports — considered briefly the MacBook Air until I realized it had only 1 port.

The Macbook Air still has two USB ports. Perhaps you meant the Macbook?

Yes, thank you.
