Unreleased 2020 16-Inch MacBook Pro Referenced in New Boot Camp Update from Apple
Although we all appreciate the good feedback of the iPhone 12, there is much more that we can be excited about. A few months ago, Apple announced its transition from Intel chips to its custom silicon at WWDC 2020. The company also released a developer tool kit in which an A14X chipset was integrated into the Mac mini. Although it was only targeted at developers, the company promised that it would release a new Mac with its own processor this year. Now, in last week's Boot Camp update, a new unpublished 2020 16-inch MacBook Pro reference has been identified.
As found in the Latest Boot Camp Update, Apple may be working on a new 2020 16-inch MacBook Pro
Boot Camp is Apple's Windows on Mac utility, and some users have found that the release notes reference an unreleased MacBook Pro 2020 16-inch. The 16-inch MacBook Pro we're using is now a year-old and could use an update. A few months ago, Apple also launched a new high-end graphics option for the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but all model configurations are listed by the company as 2019 models. Here are the release notes from Apple for last week's Boot Camp v6.1.13 update:
In November of last year the 16-inch MacBook debuted, featuring a major design update. That's right, the size of the screen was raised to 16-inches and the bezels were thinner. The Magic Keyboard has been transformed to a scissor mechanism, 9th-generation Intel processors, 64 GB of RAM with 8 TB of SSD storage capability. Other than this, AMD Radeon Pro 500M series graphics and better microphones and speakers were also included in the model. The 16-inch MacBook Pro base model starts at $2,399.

So what does the new update to Boot Camp tell us? We also learned previously that in November, Apple will host another event in which it will potentially unveil a new Mac with its unique A-series chip. Rumors have pointed out however that the Mac will be a 12-inch MacBook with Apple Silicon to be unveiled this year. There are no official announcements on that though. If there's some news today, can we see the launch of the 16-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon? It is hardly unlikely that at the start of its transition from Intel, Apple will use its chips on the high-end edition.
