The MacBook Pro is expected to get either a
refreshed model or a brand-new size soon. The last time Apple refreshed the
MacBook Pro 13-inch and 15-inch models was just a couple of months ago in May.
The refresh brought much beefier processors and an updated butterfly keyboard.
Of course, it’s worth noting that Apple refreshed
only those models with Touch Bars and not the non-Touch Bar 13-inch model. It
is believed that Apple’s latest filing with the FCC is for this 13-inch MacBook
Pro without a Touch Bar. The FCC filing lists the model number as A2159.
One of the documents in the FCC filing offer a
visual of the labeling that will be placed on the bottom of the machine. The laptop in this listing is
rated for 20.3V @ 3A Max, which is equal to 61W and the only hint at it being
the 13-inch non-Touch Bar model. For reference, the 15-inch models come with a
slightly more powerful 87W charger.
It is rumored that Apple will launch a 16-inch
MacBook Pro with slimmer bezels, but there has yet to be any corroborating
evidence. There’s still time for the rumor to breathe as the supposed 16-inch
MacBook Pro isn’t rumored to be unveiled until this fall.
