Those physical keys are still valuable to those who can't find much use for the Touch Bar (which I primarily use for picking emoji).
New mac pro release date 2019 update#
So, unless Apple can find ways to make the Touch Bar matter, the company should update the processor and other specs in its non-Touch Bar 13-inch MacBook Pro and make a non-Touch Bar 15-inch MacBook Pro. Who is this thing actually helping? Sure, it gives you touch buttons for stuff you could click and tap around for, but the primary audience for the Touch Bar is video and audio editors, scrubbing tracks back and forth. When asked what (if any) features would be the hallmarks of a 2019 MacBook Pro, Greengart listed potential options, including "a rethink of the Touch Bar." We would love to see that change happen, as the Touch Bar currently feels like a failed idea. While there is chatter about Apple switching CPUs, potentially moving from Intel to ARM, that's not expected for 2019. And they should have 1.8x better web performance and three times the video-editing speed. And while the Whiskey Lake chips provide only a minor performance jump over their Coffee Lake predecessors (they both use Intel's 14++ nanometer process), they're expected to pack twice as fast overall performance as 5-year-old Intel computers. What does that mean for you? For starters, Whiskey Lake chips add integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi, so expect faster wireless internet. MORE: This Could Be the Heart of the New MacBook Air The move would bring the superfast macOS machines up to the Intel Whiskey Lake processors, which were announced in August of 2018, the successor to 2017's Intel Coffee Lake chips. The most likely update for a new MacBook Pro would be a processor jump.
"If pressed to speculate, I'd lean towards minor changes or none." "I honestly couldn't tell you if the MacBook Pro is going to get an update at all," Greengart continued, before saying his gut leans toward something slight. Just look at the MacBook Air, which went ignored for years. While MacBook Pro refreshes have happened at least once a year over the last three years, some have been far more miniscule than we'd hoped for.Īvi Greengart, a tech analyst at GlobalData, agreed, noting that Apple's "laptop road map has been far more idiosyncratic" than the company's easily predictable iPhone-upgrade schedule. The 2015 MacBook Pro (which was no slouch) started at $1,299 for the 13-inch model and $1,999 for the 15-inch model.īut it's still hard to gauge how big of an update we'll get this year - or if we'll get any update at all.
If Apple redesigns the MacBook Pro, though, expect even higher prices. Apple's held to those prices since this design launched, in 2016. If the 2019 MacBook Pro stays with the Touch Bar, Type-C-only format, expect the 13-inch MacBook Pro to stay at around $1,799 and the 15-inch MacBook Pro to start at $2,399.
