Apple to Unveil New MacBook Pro in October - Mac Otakara

According to the latest report shared by a Japanese blog Mac Otakara, Apple may unveil the updated MacBook Pro by the end of this month. Moreover, the company will reportedly start shipping new laptops to retailers at around the same time. The report is based on rumors from Chinese supply chain sources, so I suggest to take it with a few grains of salt.

The laptop may feature USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports. There will be no outdated ports like HDMI, USB-A, or MagSafe, sources add. Apple may add an OLED touch bar instead of function keys and a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. The design of the new MacBook Pro will resemble that of the 12-inch MacBook.

Rumors suggest that the company will also discontinue the 11-inch MacBook Air, replacing it with the entry-level 12-inch MacBook.

Apple declined to comment on the issue, however, today’s report is not the first one that points out the possibility of the new MacBook Pro release. Stay tuned for updates on the issue.
