One possibility is that Apple could not only oust the old Air but the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro, too, replacing them both with this new 13-inch MacBook with Retina display.

However, in its bid to appeal to the mass market, it might turn off some professionals. That's a rumored 13-inch MacBook, replacing the current 13-inch MacBook Air which is looking fairly long in the tooth. The MacBook Pro 2018 15-inch is a powerful pro notebook with a fantastic design. Nonetheless, with the more vocal outcry about the current MacBook Pro – and the Touch Bar in particular – coming from the developer community, it's not hard to imagine Apple using its coder-focused event to debut an updated version that could address some of those complaints.Īt the same time, there's also been talk of another new Apple notebook which could arrive at the Worldwide Developer Conference. No Major MacBook Pro Update Coming To 2018 Model By Oliver Haslam January 15th, 2018 Fans of the MacBook Pro will be interested to learn of the latest report to come out of the notoriously unreliable DigiTimes, with the site claiming that Apple will not offer a major MacBook Pro upgrade during 2018. WWDC is typically positioned as a software event, not a hardware one, and as such device launches are generally more rare.

There are at least two class action lawsuits underway, arguing that Apple should retire the design altogether and replace the notebooks of those who bought them. However, some MacBook Pro owners have complained that the keys tend to stick, and aren't readily cleaned by users themselves. I did some research on the internet saying that it is, or may be possible, to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2018's SSD, but the SSD is proprietary (I'm not sure whether I spelled the word right.) so I cannot get the SSD if Apple doesn't sell it to me and that there would be no reason to buy another. The MacBook Pro uses Apple's second-generation 'Butterfly' switch mechanism, which the company pitches as being more stable and compact than traditional keys. I want the 2 TB or 4TB storage, but the cost has kept me at bay.

Perhaps most annoying, though, is the keyboard. The 2018 MacBook Pro laptops are available with 13in and 15in screens and feature new eighth-generation Intel Coffee Lake processors (with up to 6-cores), expanded storage and RAM options, T2.
