Upcoming MacBook Pro Models Could Feature 120Hz Mini-LED Displays

[mosh.jinton]

I wonder if this will be all models or just the 16" / higher end 14". Imagine the starting price will go beyond $1800 if it's all.

 

[Macalway]

I'd honestly rather have a 60hz OLED than miniLEDs :/

Fear of burn-in is annoying. I'm always worrying about my typical usage, which is absurd.

 

[Blackstick]

Huuuuuge news, now I just wonder what they will cost

Betting the 14" will begin at $1799-1999 (thinking higher) and they'll keep a model of the previous-gen M1 13" around, at about $1500.

If this is true I’ll need an ambulance

 

[i_g_o]

If they ship it with mini LED for who are those rumoured 14" and 16" OLED displays that went into mass production?

 

[SactoGuy18]

Well this coming from Ross Young makes it quite believable.

No last second rumors from Jon Prosser, please! 😏

 

[tonie walker]

….the price?

 

[Steve686]

Any word on Face ID for Mac?

Why are we still listening to Gurman? 🙄

My wish is that "unleashed" and the POV of stars flying by at warp speed to represent Apple Glass (glasses)... 🤞🧞‍♀️

 

[UBS28]

They should. The Macbook Pro hardware is really bad next to the M1 iPad Pro. The only thing saving the MBP is that it runs OS X (which the M1 iPad Pro is technically also able to run, but is not allowed by Apple).

Why would you want a worse screen? My iPhone 11 Pro Max has an OLED display and my M1 iPad Pro has mini-LED and, the mini-LED on the M1 iPad Pro is far superior.

The only downside is blooming issues, but I will take that for a better screen.

 

[MacBird]

Why are we still listening to Gurman? 🙄

Because we are not listening to Prosser anymore.

Earlier rumor stated the 14" would start at either $1899 or $1999 compared to the current $1799 for the Intel 13.3" 4-port. Said rumor also stated the 16" would hold the line at $2399 to start.

I'm fine with $1999 for the 14" considering the upgrades in CPU, GPU and display over the 13.3". My plan is to use the 14" to replace my 2018 12.9" iPad Pro and 2017 15.4" MacBook Pro. However, if they can hold the line on the 16" at $2399, I might just upgrade to it.

Any word on Face ID for Mac?

Yea… it’s coming
No, it’s not coming

You’ll just have to wait til Monday to find out 😜

 

[madoka]

They're bringing back magsafe and the SD slot?

How courageous of them.

 

[ThatGuyInLa]

I am still amazed. Test after test. My 16GB M1 MBA using FCPx DESTROYS my 24-core Gen3 Thread-Ripper with it's RTX3090 in AE when exporting H.264 1080p/30 videos. It's not even remotely close. AE is using 90% of my GPU during the export too. So, I mean, WOW? The MBA finishes the export in around 12min. Meanwhile it took AE nearly TWO-HOURS.

OMG!!! This will be a game changer. APPLE is about to unleash the beast. Pure Authentic Power! I’m so ready to place my order!!!

I'm ready for a new MacBook 💻😜 and new debt on my Apple Card 😆

 

[iamyash]

I am gonna say these new MacBook Pros will take the position of existing Intel machines in the lineup. Starting £1799/$1799. And if 120Hz do come (which I think we will - Ross Young is good) then its a big win!

 

[AndrewWx]

Really looking forward to upgrading my intel MBP for something much quieter and hopefully faster.

 

[foobarbaz]

So my new MacBook will have an even nicer screen hidden in clamshell mode while I keep using a crappy external display. 😞

Seriously, Apple, add an semi-affordable external display to the mix. Pleeeeease.

 

[Scotticus]

I reeeeeaaaallly hope it has those thin bezels

 

[contacos]

Doubt it. They might go MiniLED but 120 Hz will be the incredible next evolution saved for next years refresh. Apple is not known for releasing everything they could at once

It’s coming from a display expert though.

This is what I think too
