It comes with a quick SSD

On Thursday last week Apple announced their updated and upgraded 2018 MacBook Pro line. Meanwhile the guys over at Laptop Mag had a closer look at it comparing it to a few other 13-inch models. The $2499 US MacBook Pro 2018 ships with an 8th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 and a 512GB SSD.


That took quite some time to happen

Most notebook vendors have announced their updated notebooks, which are based around Intels 8th generation Core processors quite a while ago, yet Apple, as always, decided to take its time. To a certain extent this makes/made sense since the availability of the new platform was sparse - to say the least.


Three different models

At its special Hello Again event held last nigth, Apple has offically announced its new Apple MacBook Pro 2016 notebook lineup, confirming earlier details that these will be coming with OLED Touch Bar, Touch ID, USB-C ports and powered by Intel Skylake CPUs and AMD Radeon 400 Pro series graphics cards.


Reveals a bit more information

A leaked picture of the upcoming MacBook Pro notebook revealed a bit more details as well as showed a new OLED touch bar.


USB Type-C ports, OLED bar and Skylake CPUs

While earlier reports suggested that Apple will be unveiled a new 13-inch MacBook at its event, it appears that there will be two additional MacBook Pro models, 13.3-inch and 15.4-inch, all featuring Intel's Skylake CPUs, USB Type-C ports, the OLED function row, known as the Magic Toolbar and more.


With Zen CPU architecture

According to the latest rumors, Apple could pick AMD as its supplier for chips in next-gen iMac desktops and notebooks.


Down by $2.9US Billion

It appears that Apple is really starting to feel the loss of Steve Jobs as now for the second time profit is declining. Especially the cash cows, the iPhone and the iPad are causing headaches, since the sales numbers are still declining.


Could work on any Mac system

According to latest rumors, Apple might be working on a 5K display that would actually have a built-in GPU, in order to cope with a higher resolution.


Based on Polaris 11 GPU

It appears that AMD managed to score a big win as the next-generation notebooks from Apple will actually use its Polaris-based GPUs.


Has the worst quarter in 13 years

Apple has announced its fiscal Q2 2016 results reporting a worst quarter results in 13 year, due to a 16 percent decline in iPhone sales, compared to the same period last year.


Gets Core M Skylake CPUs and Rose Gold color option

Apple has launched an updated 12-inch Macbook notebook which will be coming with new Intel Core M Skylake CPUs, larger battery, and a new Rose Gold color option.


But decided not to go for it yet

According to the earlier report, it appears that Apple was looking into a possibility of a takeover deal with Imagination Technologies. Newest details suggest that Apple has decided against it, at least for the next six months.


Focus shifts from iPad Air to iPad Pro

According to the latest report, it appears that Apple plans to completely drop the iPad Air name from its lineup and focus on iPad Pro branding.


iPhone 6c gets renamed to iPhone 7c

We have been hearing plenty of rumors regarding a possible successor of the plastic iPhone 5C since March this year and while we have not seen the iPhone 6c, the latest rumor suggest that it might launch as the iPhone 7c in September 2016.


Could replace it with all-in-one Lightning connector
