MacBook Pro 2019 Latest News, Update: Tim Cook Blames Intel for Hardware Delay, No Upgrades Yet

In the tech industry, delays happen all the time, but it can never take away the pain of actually having to announce that highly anticipated products will take time to hit the market. In the case of the upgraded MacBook Pro 2019, it would seem that fans will simply have to accept that they will need to wait a bit before they can get the units they want. For his part, Tim Cook seems to be blaming Intel for the delay.

The Apple CEO made his thoughts known in a recent earnings call where he and Luca Maestri remarked on important aspects of the company’s performance. It would seem that the hardware delay that included the MacBook Pro 2019 is due to problems with the chipset from Intel, Forbes reports.

“Next I’d like to talk about the Mac. Revenue was 5.5 billion compared to 5.8 billion a year ago, with the decline driven primarily by processor constraints on certain popular models,” Maestri remarked.

Cook added his own thoughts on the matter, saying, “For our Mac business overall, we faced some processor constraints in the March quarter, leading to a 5 percent revenue decline compared to last year. But we believe that our Mac revenue would have been up compared to last year without those constraints, and don’t believe this challenge will have a significant impact on our Q3 results.”

So, for anyone wondering why there has been no significant development regarding the MacBook Pro 2019 yet, they have their answer. On that note, this is just one side of the story. Specific details with regards to the delays have yet to be provided and Intel itself is not exactly being open about the topic.

For now, it would seem that fans will simply have to wait a bit longer to hear or read more about the MacBook Pro 2019. There is a chance that it will be revealed during an upcoming event, but there are no guarantees on that score.
