Jon Prosser: Apple to Announce 13-Inch MacBook Pro Refresh Today

[MacRumors]

Apple today will announce a refresh of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, according to Jon Prosser of the YouTube channel Front Page Tech. Rumors have suggested that the new model could be a 14-inch MacBook Pro with slightly slimmer bezels around the display, in line with the 16-inch MacBook Pro replacing the 15-inch model last year.

The new 13-inch or 14-inch MacBook Pro is also expected to feature faster 9th-generation or 10th-generation Intel Core processor options, increased RAM and storage options, and a more reliable Magic Keyboard with scissor switch keys.

Prosser accurately leaked the April 15 launch date of the new iPhone SE.

Take my stimulus check Tim Cook!

What is the point of rumours a few hours before release?

 

[MakeAppleAwesomeAgain]

Apple usually don't update products on Mondays, right? (except for keynote days like WWDC)

 

[americanguy]

I hope for 14" if its true...

 

[Abazigal]

Looks like Jon Prosser’s word is practically gospel now.

There's never been any proof that scissor switch keys are "more reliable" than butterfly switch.

My 2018 MBP has yet to die on me. Even with all the cookie crumbs and a bloody good drop onto concrete.

Interesting that still no one seems to know whether this will be the 15W model or 28W model, or both, or whether it will be a 13", 14" or one of each! The 16" size bump was a solid detail for a year before it launched?

Apple is coming for those $1,200 checks. Lol. Hopefully the people that needed that money used it on May’s rent instead.

Just this past Saturday Jon was a bit pissed about people asking him so often about the MBP:

Bit weird with the timing. And of course, if you’re on twitter, or any public site with a decent following, gotta be prepared to ignore most of the replies you’re going to receive.

Intel 10th Gen~?

 

[CG_Man]

I hope for 14" if its true...

And a "No Touch Bar" option.. Please

 

[Spock]

If they release a 14 inch with the same footprint as the 13 Apple can take my money. 13 inch has always been the sweet spot for me since I went from a 12 inch PowerBook G4 to a 13 inch MacBook unibody. Had a 15 inch Pro for a while but traded it in for the 13 inch retina because it was just to bulky for me.

The newer touchbar is much more sensible with a dedicated esc key.

My 2020 MBA just came in today... I might have to return it

 

[Mascots]

And if they don't, of course it's because Apple decided not to, purely to spite him.

 

[petvas]

If they release a 13“ model then it will still be with the butterfly keyboard. I don’t mind that, but then I wouldn’t really understand what Apple is doing. Having different keyboards on Macbooks is not exactly an ideal situation.

 

[ikir]

Instant buy

 

[memesmith]

This is what I have been waiting for, just looking for 10th gen chips doubled storage, and I will pre-order the base model

Agree. My 2018 Air is humming along nicely. Never had a problem with the keyboard; it's a joy to type on! I'm a writer, FYI, thousands of words a week on the thing.

There is at least a 28W 13"

They might change the keyboard without increasing screen size...

 

[AppleDavid]

And please, the price can go down for at least 100-200$!

Early morning for you guys.
