Apple’s rumored incoming MacBook Pro 16-inch could be out next month, at least according to the latest bit of speculation on the machine.
This comes from analyst firm TrendForce, which made the observation in a report about the laptop market, and the outlook for the third quarter therein.
As spotted by Mac Rumors, TrendForce observed that along with strong demand for Chromebooks as the Back to School season rolls around, “we see new products hitting shelves, such as Apple’s 16-inch MacBook”.
If the new MacBook is indeed real and being prepared for a Q3 launch (an on-shelf launch, not a paper one), that means it will be on sale in September (the final month of that quarter).
We’ve heard other recent buzz about Apple’s purported laptop, including comments from Jeff Lin at analyst firm IHS Markit, who reckons that the MacBook Pro 16-inch will be revealed and go into production in September – pointing to a possible launch following shortly thereafter.
And DigiTimes also recently chipped in predicting a September launch, potentially with the on-sale date being slightly later.
