11/21/2023 0 Comments Apple keynote 2016 october![]() ![]() With the removal of the much-loved Thunderbolt Display from its lineup in July this year, Apple now has no first-party external display available, leaving many power users looking for a 4K or 5K solution from secondary manufacturers. However, we may only get a preview of this round of iMacs as Intel is not due to release next-generation processors, which puts the potential release date of the iMac refresh at least half a year out, again according to Ming-Chi Kuo. Already sporting a 5K display and a cutting-edge design, the iMac will most likely see the addition of USB-C ports, as well as new AMD graphics chips. Last reworked in 2015, the iMac desktops are also long overdue for an update, although any are sure to be minor to keep the line up-to-date with the competition. While the MacBook Air is Apple’s most affordable and best-selling laptop, with the introduction of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro as the new mobile work platform of Apple’s product family, the Air is, for all intents and purposes, obsolete. In the grand scheme of things, this makes sense for Apple to phase out the “Air” moniker, following similar moves with the iPad Air line. Rumors abound that the 11-inch model will be discontinued, leaving only the 13-inch model as the last of its line. While the 12-inch MacBook was given a faster processor and a rose gold option last April, the older MacBook Air will keep its current design (unchanged since 2010) and only have its peripherals replaced with USB-C ports, with no mention of the addition of even a Retina display. Meanwhile, it looks like the updates the MacBook Air we’ll be receiving will be nowhere near as deep as its bigger sibling. Internal changes may include Intel’s more powerful sixth-gen Core Skylake processors, as well as longer battery life. Otherwise, the Pro will be available in 13- and 15-inch models, with minor cosmetic changes such as smaller bezels, a thinner and lighter form factor (as hinted at by the redesigned hinge above), and possibly a range of colorways concurrent with that of the recently released iPhone 7. Don’t worry though, the headphone jack looks safe, for now. What’s sure to be prominently featured however, will also be the Magic Toolbar’s Touch ID fingerprint scanning capabilities, shown in the leaked image to verify an Apple Pay purchase.Īpple is also expected to update the peripherals via its method of late of aggressive simplification - taking after last year’s MacBook, leaks have suggested that the Pro will have its MagSafe power connector, HDMI port and SD card slot replaced instead by four USB-C ports. ![]() First brought to light by tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the contextual mini OLED display would change its function depending on the application being used, which might allow applications such as Word and Photoshop to move menu items and keyboard shortcuts there to save valuable screen space. Leaked yesterday by MacRumors, images of what appear to be the MacBook Pro have been found in macOS Sierra 10.12.1 software code that hint at the addition of a “Magic Toolbar” touch strip.
