Apple is planning to introduce a MacBook Pro with a 16-inch display diagonal. This is not only claimed by rumors but also by hints in the code of macOS Catalina. But when will Cupertino introduce the new professional notebook?
Analysts and observers were convinced that Apple would present the new MacBook Pro in October this year. But the 10th month of the year came and went - a new notebook did not appear. Now there are new details on the subject. According to Forbes employee Brooke Crothers, there are signs that the new device is currently being produced - but according to the Asian source, no launch date has been announced. A few days ago, Digitimes reported that Apple will start shipping in the fourth quarter of this year - but not to customers. The reason is said to be political - Trump's punitive tariffs in the trade war with China - read more here. Various analysts agree with this, and Crothers also believes in this process. But when could the new MacBook Pro officially debut?
Keyboard with physical ESC key?
Observers now believe that Apple has postponed the market launch until 2020 - but the reason for this change in plan is not known. Rumors suggest that the MacBook Pro 16" will appear with an edge-to-edge display and will retain the case dimensions of the current MacBook Pro 15". The design will also remain largely unchanged. However, it will use a new keyboard technology and appear with a physical ESC key. The starting price is estimated at $2,799. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
