Apple is still on track to begin mass production of the upcoming upgraded 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro with mini-LED displays in the third quarter of this year, Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo stated today in a note acquired by MacRumors.
A number of reports have pinned the 3rd quarter of the year as a timeframe for when Apple could launch the brand-new MacBook Pros. DigiTimes had formerly pinned the late part of the quarter as a launch timeframe, likely referencing a September launch along with the new iPhones.
Although, while mass production may start in the 3rd quarter, according to Kuo, which runs from July to September, Apple may decide to hold a different occasion for the Mac in October or November, instead of connecting the brand-new MacBook Pros with the release of brand-new iPhone and Apple Watch models.
Additionally, due to ongoing scarcities and has problem with the production of mini-LED screens, Apple may announce the new MacBook Pros but not yet start deliveries till weeks later, comparable to what it provided for the mini-LED iPad Pro in April. Kuo has formerly reported that the brand-new MacBook Pros will feature extra ports, consisting of HDMI and an SD-card slot, the elimination of the Touch Bar, and an overall updated style with flat-edges and MagSafe.
