It would appear that Apple is set to disappoint its professional users once again with the news that its rumored 16-Inch MacBook Pro is not going to be released this year. Customers who are in need of a bigger screen from the supposedly professional-grade device have been waiting. It would appear that they will wait in vain, at least, for this year.
In a recent report by MacRumors, an excerpt from the research down by renowned leaker Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that there will be no 16-Inch MacBook Pro coming out this year. In fact, it would seem that only one of the three products previously rumored to come out in 2019 is being released. Of course, since nothing has been made official, it’s worth taking this news with a grain of salt.
“We believe that mini LED, compared to OLED, will be a more suitable solution to offer wide-color gamut (WCG)/high-contrast/high dynamic range (HDR)/local dimming features because of its longer life and no burn-in issues for Apple's medium- and large-size products targeting at productivity positions,” the excerpt reads.
“We forecast that Apple will respectively launch an all-new design 31.6-inch monitor, a 10–12 inch iPad and a 15–17 inch MacBook equipped with a mini LED backlight unit (BLU) in 2–3Q19, 4Q20–1Q21 and 1–2Q21.”
As things stand, there were only ever rumors that a 16-Inch MacBook Pro was even coming out. The 17-inch version was already canceled and that was quite the blow to professionals who needed a bigger screen. The 31.6-inch monitor should help ease some of the pain of this development, but it would simply mean more expenses for the customers.
Getting both the monitor and the 16-Inch MacBook Pro in the space of two years would be heavy for most people. Even if the customer is making a lot of money, this would still be a huge amount to ask for.
