Apple Registers 7 Unreleased Mac Notebooks in Eurasian Database

[MacRumors]

Apple has registered seven unreleased Mac models in the Eurasian Economic Commission database today, including A2141, A2147, A2158, A2159, A2179, A2182, and A2251, according to listings uncovered by MacRumors. All seven models appear to be notebooks, as they are described as "portable" computers.

On the more imminent front, the 12-inch MacBook is certainly long overdue for an update, having been last refreshed in June 2017. A spec bump to the MacBook Air is also plausible, but its October 2018 refresh was not too long ago.

Looking farther out, we've heard rumors about a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an all-new design launching later this year. Given the MacBook Pro was just refreshed weeks ago, the 16-inch model is presumably a fall product at the earliest. Apple occasionally hosts Mac events in October, including in both 2018 and 2016.

Eurasian Economic Commission filings like these have foreshadowed the release of new Apple products on numerous occasions, including multiple Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, and AirPods models. The filings are legally required for any encrypted devices sold in Russia and select other countries.

Ooooh, no new MBP's for the next 2-3 years please, I've just taken delivery of an 8-core fire hazard with a soon-to-be dodgy keyboard and I don't want to die of buyers remorse in September

 

[morley39]

Why Apple stopped making 17-inch MacBook Pro and start making 16-inch instead?

 

[benshive]

That mockup of a 16" model looks great. That'd probably get me to finally upgrade from my 2014 MBP

 

[theturtle]

How long does it usually take from registration to release date? A few months? A year?

 

[HiVolt]

Maybe a real keyboard to go with it?

 

[gemoritzt]

Hopefully a 16" without that touchbar.

 

[Nautilus007]

Since there is no event, I am sure its just a refresh for the Macbook - maybe the Macbook air.

How long does it usually take from registration to release date? A few months? A year?

My question exactly

 

[BarrettF77]

Hopefully a new design with improved thermals since intel didn’t deliver on their end with die shrinks and power demands. Perhaps a cheese grater design for heat dissipation? Time to get creative.

Maybe it will have the new iOS pro design language. What is needed is a machine respectful of the name Pro.

 

[ugahairydawgs]

I would think the more likely option is that these are revs of MacBook or MacBook Air (or both). Makes much more sense than an update to the MBP, which was just updated less than a month ago.

 

[Nulomali]

New MBP with 4k screen!

 

[busuan]

I would have registered 70 models ... just to mess with you all

 

[Sasparilla]

Since there is no event, I am sure its just a refresh for the Macbook - maybe the Macbook air.

You're probably right, which means ditching the dodgy butterfly keyboard with a new (or old) design isn't on the menu. Its amazing Apple's execs have let that go on considering how central the keyboard is to their laptops and in the end sales. Where is PowerColor when you need them? /s

 

[Baymowe335]

Butterfly keyboards aren't going anywhere because they aren't nearly the problem believed here in the echo chamber.

 

[anthorumor]

Knowing Apple, they’ll probably call these the new ‘Pro’, starting at just $4999.

 

[andrewmarich]

I noticed that the Tech Specs of the new XDR Pro Display mention 96W host charging. The current MBP is only 87W, maybe a sign of a new model coming ?

 

[DHagan4755]

This is probably a spec bump update. We know Dell will be shipping an Intel 10th generation Y-series Ice Lake processor in its XPS 13 2-in-1 in July. This is the same series processor used in the MacBook and MacBook Air.

 

[A MacBook lover]

All I want is a 16” air

 

[fokmik]

How long does it usually take from registration to release date? A few months? A year?

A few weeks

 

[RustyFox]

Does anyone have a link to the wallpaper on that mockup? I love it.

 

[alexandero]

Hopefully it's a refresh of the 13" MBP without Touch Bar. The current non-MBP has not been updated for the past 18 months, the MBPs with Touch Bar are too expensive, and the current MBA is a downgrade in terms of screen and CPU speed.

 

[macduke]

After seeing the price of the Mac Pro, the new MacBook Pro 16" is going to be 4K with an afterburner card and start at $4999. The hinge option to hold up the display is $799, and the matte option is also $799.

 

[oldmacs]

A tier above the current MacBook Pro? Its already priced to insanity!

 

[BJMRamage]

Does anyone have a link to the wallpaper on that mockup? I love it.
