It is currently believed that Apple is planning to introduce a completely new MacBook Pro model with a whopping 16-inch display diagonal this fall. Now new details from the supply chain have emerged.
The Taiwanese business newspaper Economic Daily News has published a new report on upcoming MacBook Pro models, citing sources from the supply chain. According to the report, the new MacBook Pro 16-inch will have an LCD and a resolution of 3,072 x 1,920 pixels. The screen supplier will be LG Displays. The device will also be assembled by Foxconn and Quanta - both of which are among Apple's largest production partners.
Further updates planned
As far as pricing goes, the device is set to set a new price record - according to the source. The new MacBook Pro 16-inch in its basic configuration will cost around 3,000 US dollars. The device is set to be unveiled in October. In addition to the completely new model, another update to the MacBook Pro 13-inch and MacBook Air is also in the works.
As for the rumor about the MacBook Pro 13-inch update, the situation is a bit confusing. Apple recently updated both the high-end 13-inch model and the device with only two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Rumors suggest that the MacBook Pro 13-inch will get an option for 32 GB RAM - perhaps this version is what they mean. As for the MacBook Air update, the keyboard could be the reason for the new update. Analysts believe that Apple will update the new keyboard technology the Air model this year. It has not been clarified whether a 15-inch device will be released as an alternative. So far, observers believe that the new 16-inch model is the complete replacement.
