MacBook Pro 2016 is one of the most anticipated laptops to date. Apple customers and fans have been looking forward to owning one since the Cupertino-based tech giant's spring event. Unfortunately, MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016 were a no-show in the said events. According to news reports, the new laptops will be available in the fourth quarter of the year and will include a USB-C port and Thunderbolt 3.
MacBook Pro 2016 New Features
MacBook Pro is due for an upgrade in design and specs. Parent Herald previously reported that MacBook Pro 2016 would be the thinnest and cheapest laptop in its lineup. Aside from this, there are rumors that the latest MacBook Pro will also sport USB-C port and Thunderbolt 3 connectors.
Per Forbes, API Research reported that USB-C would be landing on every laptop and mobile devices in the future. Thus, it only makes sense for Apple to include this feature in their new MacBook Pro.
"Almost half of the smartphones and 93% of laptops will include USB Type-C connectivity by 2020," ABI said. "USB-Type C and Thunderbolt 3.0 will be the last major physical ports to gain major significance and mainstream traction before the transition to wireless alternatives," said Andrew Zignanin, ABI analyst.
Per the report, Thunderbolt 3 is delivered in MacBook Pro 2016 via USB-Connector. This doubles the bandwidth of the previous Thunderbolt to 4 gigabits. It also supports 5K display.
USB-C is a great connector for computers that come in thin designs, making it perfect for MacBook Pro 2016. We will soon find out if the new MacBook Pro will indeed have this addition.
MacBook Pro 2016 Coming Out Sooner Than Expected
Initially, MacBook Pro is expected to arrive in June during Apple's WWDCC convention. However, new reports claim that the new laptop will not be available until the fourth quarter of the year.
However, MacRumors reported that MacBook Pro 2016 might arrive sooner than expected. The report notes that Apple will introduce a new MacBook Pro series this month. However, it is still unknown as to when shipping will begin.
