Apple has officially slain the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Touch Bar feature to the great beyond.
With the announcement of its forthcoming 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, Apple has sent the 13-inch MacBook Pro format and the Touch Bar feature into retirement. The changes were announced with Apple’s Scary Fast event held on October 30. The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at a lower price with the M3 processor.
Prior to this, rumors had suggested the 13-inch MacBook Pro would get some kind of redesign and continue to be sold at its entry $1,299 price point. Instead, the company ditched the outdated model entirely and brought its $2,000 14-inch MacBook Pro down to $1,499 with M3.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro has also been removed from Apple’s website as well, as opposed to being relegated to an awkward price point for the education market.
Customers interested in the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 can pre-order the notebook, and initial shipments begin the week of November 6.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
