Many are looking forward to seeing the next-generation laptops from Apple. And since this year’s lineup of MacBook Pro was another refresh, many are now expecting that the MacBook Pro 2019 series is going to be “next-generation” line of laptops from the tech company.
It has been almost two years since Apple introduced the fourth-generation lineup of MacBook Pro, which was marked by the introduction of the Touch Bar. Since then, Apple has only issued mainly CPU upgrades. But reports are now speculating that the MacBook Pro 2019 could include all-new features such as Face ID, LTE support, and more varieties in available ports.
Face ID on the MacBook Pro 2019?
Seeing features from iPhones being added to Apple laptops is nothing new. For example, Apple incorporated the Touch ID feature to the fourth generation of MacBook Pro laptops released in 2016 along with the introduction of the Touch Bar.
And since Apple has always given emphasis on making their products more secure for the consumers, seeing Apple laptops equipped with the TrueDepth cameras is not impossible. However, whether or not Apple is going to consider adding this feature to the MacBook Pro 2019 series is still unknown.
iMore also noted that some Windows-run laptops are already equipped with the facial recognition tech. Knowing how the competition goes, it is not going to be surprising to see Apple do the same.
Is the MacBook Pro 2019 Going to an Add LTE Option?
Apple has been rumored to be developing its own 5G modem for months now. The company has not yet officially addressed this matter. However, knowing how ugly the legal battle between Apple and Qualcomm had been, it is not surprising for Apple to pursue having its own 5G chips going into iPhones and Macs in the near future. These are likely some of the reasons why there are speculations that the MacBook Pro 2019 lineup could sport an LTE-enabled variant.
More Ports on the MacBook Pro 2019?
The available ports on the MacBook Pro 2019 are some of the predicted features, as seen in several reports. The 2018-released MacBook Pro refresh still lacks a variety of ports. Yes, it has four Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports that can be used for charging and the DisplayPort, but to many, it still lacks variety.
This forces many MacBook Pro users to purchase a separate dongle if they need ports for other purposes like an HDMI connection. So if the advanced features and improvements are not yet due for the MacBook Pro 2019, some fans hope that, at least, Apple will address the port situation.
