New Macbooks Coming To The Market Later This Month

So ditching traditional ports on the next MacBook Pro would likely raise as many eyebrows as the iPhone 7’s lack of a headphone jack. The thinner, lighter notebook will come with several new features including the Touch ID sensor, touch bar, Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C.

By that we’re not sure if it won’t be updated entirely, or if it will see an incremental upgrade but no new exciting features. Apple remains silent about the release of most rumored iPad Air 3. Its rumors about the MacBook Pro conform with others we’ve been hearing for most of the year. Sources say Apple plans to discontinue the model to focus instead on the 13-inch MacBook Air and 12-inch Retina MacBook, and that the Air will transition to USB-C, too. The company is also reported to ditch USB-A ports and company’s MagSafe charging connector. They will also debut a new a touch-sensitive OLED bar that replaces the physical function keys along the top of the keyboard. However, since we’ve only got one more full week in October, doubt has begun growing that Apple will in fact introduce these new laptops in the expected timeline. Meanwhile, the new MacBooks would likely be charged through the USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3 port.

MacBook Pro is expected to ship with a new graphics processor. Whilst that might not be all that much of a problem amongst users of the 12-inch MacBook, it could be a problem for users of the MacBook Pro, who often requires quicker and easier access to a range of different ports. Or will consumers get a surprisingly stripped-down product since Apple is hard-pressed to do a release right before the end of the year?

Whatever devices arrive, they’d come at a time when PC sales as a whole remain on the decline.

Rumours suggest that Apple’s MacBook Pro launch may take place a couple of days after the company’s earnings call on 25th October. Another update states that Apple might use a new battery for the tablet.

Meanwhile, some observers also believe that Apple is probably busy preparing the device for a grand comeback with impressive specs.
