Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch to launch later this year

Apple is planning to launch a 16-inch MacBook Pro later this year. According to IHS Markit analyst Jeff Lin, the upcoming MacBook Pro will use an LCD panel designed from LG and will offer a resolution of 3072 x 1920 pixels – higher than the 2880-by-1800 display in the 15.4-inch model.

The 16-inch model is also expected to include a CPU. Lin further expects that MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro will also be upgraded to new processors in September.

Apple recently announced a voluntary free battery replacement of few of the MacBook Pro’s sold between September 2015 to February 2017 that pose a safety risk. Apple says, the units sold between that said time frame are at safety risk and can be identified by their product serial number. Any other 15-inch MacBook Pro sold later than February of 2017 aren’t affected.

The new MacBook Pro could be launched alongside the upcoming iPhones and the Apple Watch Series 5 in September of this year. The 2019 iPhones are expected to be priced similar to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The starting price could be $999 and will go up depending on the storage variant and the screen size you opt for. Apple is also planning to introduce a 1TB storage option this year along with 64GB, 256GB and 512GB variant.

Additionally, the Apple iPhone 11 are expected to sport a triple camera system at the rear consisting of a standard wide-angle unit, an ultra-wide angle unit and a telephoto unit. According to a new leak, the camera system is seen in a square layout located at the top left corner at the back. All three sensors will be developed by Sony.

The 2019 iPhones will be powered by the A13 chip. The other features coming to the iPhone 11 include increased band connectivity, frosted glass finish, reverse charging, improved Face ID, and a big battery.
