Once again, it’s the developer notes that indicate hardware coming down the road.
Last week, Apple released a Boot Camp update. Following its release, several users noticed the release notes referenced an unreleased model of the company’s 16-inch MacBook Pro notebook.
While this could be a mistake, Apple released a new high-end graphics option for the 16-inch MacBook Pro in June, but it still refers to all configurations of the notebook as 2019 models on its website.
Apple offered the following release notes for Boot Camp 6.1.13:
- Improves audio recording quality when using the built-in microphone
- Fixes a stability issue that could occur during heavy CPU load on 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019 and 2020) and 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020)
The 16-inch MacBook Pro, which was introduced in November 2019, and features slimmer bezels, a Magic Keyboard with a more reliable scissor mechanism, 9th-generation Intel Core processors, up to 64GB of RAM, up to 8TB of SSD storage, AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics, and upgraded speakers and microphones. Pricing starts at $2,399.
Rumors have indicated that Apple could be planning to host another media event on November 17 to introduce its first Mac with an Apple Silicon processor. It’s also believed that this transition will begin at the lower end for notebooks, such as the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, or possibly even the return of an ultra-portable 12-inch MacBook.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
