After the WWDC in June and the presentation of the entire software battery and the Mac Pro, it's time to think about Apple's moves for next fall and winter. The first rumor, which is not confirmed, comes from the command of the analyst Jeff lin. 16-inch MacBook Pro to be released in September and you will have a screen with 3.072 × 1.920 resolution.
Jeff Lin is a Research Analyst at IHS Markit and tells us that LG will be the supplier on the LCD screen. Your company has had access to the report following the Forbes announcement last Thursday.
We don't have much more data on this new Mac. Although the resolution of the current 15-inch model is 2.880 × 1.800, many think that Apple will respect the current model of 15 and it will take full advantage of the surface of the screen. In that case, we will see a Mac with a large screen and without frames, something that will be spectacular. However, it is not clear that it respects the current model, as the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, advanced in February the launch of the 16-inch model throughout 2019 on a "completely new" design. In the report by Jeff Lin, we can read:
We think Apple will launch a new product at the Apple event on September 19, if there is no unexpected development problem.
Another point of controversy among internet forums is the type of screen. Weeks ago we read in Korean media such as The Elec, the order from Apple to Samsung on OLED screens for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. On the other hand, in the report of Lin indicated that the screen of the new 16-inch MacBook Pro will be LCD. Finally, nothing is known yet about the components that this Mac can carry, although there is talk of a new processor to the current 15-inch MacBook Pro.
It is not the first time that the IHS Markit firm has made a statement of these characteristics. From the hand of them we learned the resolution of the iPad Pro of 10.5 four months before its launch on the market. In any case, in the coming weeks we will know more details of this model that is already in the "oven" of Apple.
