For years now I feel like Apple was updating their product line by adding more products. When I first started following Apple it was just 1 iPhone model. After that they introduced black and white.
Then they started making different sizes, and the 5C which introduced new colors. We ultimately had SE models, 8, 8+, X and now even a XS Plus. Even with the iPhone 7, they had multiple options including jet black which was more exclusive to own.
And then came the Pro lineup of devices. The Mac Pro came from nowhere and I remember thinking hey this is kinda cool. So powerful, space grey everything, I’d love to get it but how much? $2000? $3000? Nope. 5000 bucks.
Then came the iPad Pro. Bezeless design, incredible power, great for using with a keyboard, pencil, and some say even a mouse through accessibility although I’ve heard it’s not too great. And now the new Mac Pro. Beautiful machine with a lot of power. Truly something special despite all the Cheese grater jokes lol. Again, how much? $3000? $4000? Wrong again.
Now, let’s take it back in time. We had the beautiful LG monitors albeit the ugly chin on top as a expensive but great monitor but of course we needed a “Pro” monitor so here came the $5000 pro monitor ($999 stand not included).
And today, the rumor mill was hot with people saying an iPhone Pro is coming. I would not be surprised. Which leads me to think, this mythical 16” machine we’re all pondering about seems to be a Pro Plus kind of device.
Combine that with the fact Apple seems love having many options of the same device available, it makes sense to think that Apple is adding a new product to its notebook computers. Something that’s truly a beast of a machine.
A thick, powerful, heat dissipating, 64GB RAM computing Goliath of a 16” machine starting at what? $3000? $4000? We’ve seen this before. My guess is $5,000 folks. That’s how I see it.
It’s all rumor right now. But this is what my mind is speaking to me. I don’t think the 15” will be replaced by this. And to those who say 15” and 16” are too close in size, that may be true but I believe what will differentiate it and keep both models around will be the design and power of this Pro Plus model.
The 15” will be for the consumer professional. The guy who makes YouTube videos and edits photos. The Pro Plus will be for the guy making professional movies. And editing photos for Vogue Magazine. That’s my guess.
