MacBook Pro 2015 is currently offered on a huge discount with freebies which had analysts speculating that MacBook Pro 2016 will be released anytime soon, specifically on the first quarter of 2016.
Apple Insider, in its advertisement, announced that Apple authorized reseller is currently exclusively offering Apple Insider readers 2015 15" MacBook Pros with free AppleCare extended warranty protection plans, a free Canon PIXMA MG3520 Wireless AirPrint Inkjet Photo All-in-One Printer, and additional cash discounts.
From an original price of $2348, the selling price is down to $1978. That's a huge discount amounting to $370. Some cash discounts go as high as $440. And if one uses the APINSIDER promo code, another $70 will be knocked off the price. Plus there's more! Each bundle will be shipped free and Adorama will not collect sales tax on orders shipped outside NY and NJ.
This is only one of the many huge discounts offered in selling MacBook Pro 2015 today. And according to analysts, this is only possible because a new model is coming to the market-that is the MacBook Pro 2016.
The Bit Bag, in its report, highlighted that initial reports said that MacBook Pro 2016 will be released in December last year. This speculation rooted from a report by Australia Network News that cited Pike's Universum who was said to have spotted a new Mac code that points out to a new MacBook Pro.
"The data is identical to that of the late 2015 (iMac 17.1 in the same file) so it might as well be a remnant of the new iMac, but the strange thing is that the XHCI data for the late 2015 iMac is also there... there are too many USB 3 ports defined to fit on a Macbook [Pro] and Mac Mini. This and the fact that there is already support for newer graphics chips [baked] into El Capitan... is why I think that it was added for a new MacBook Pro," the post reads.
MacWorld, on the other hand, predicts that Apple will update the cylindrical Mac Pro. It added that MacBook Pro will undego a major revision this year, it being the first Apple computer that supports Thunderbolt 3. It may also be Apple's first Intel computer without ports solely dedicated to USB.
