It looks like all good things in life must come to an end, and where the Apple MacBook Pro is concerned, it too, will need to bow down to time eventually. It seems that Apple has started to discontinue a fair number of its 15” MacBook Pro models, and this is happening prior to Cupertino’s annual developer’s conference which is more often than not, the platform to make an announcement for updated models – you know, to have these refreshed with Force Touch trackpads as well as the latest mobile processors from Intel.
This conference will happen in San Francisco from June 8 to June 12, and Apple has already started to delay shipments of many non-standard (also known as “BTO” or “CTO” configurations) since a few weeks back. Apple Authorize Reseller B&H too, has updated their site in the past 12 hours to show how the 15” MacBook Pro models have been marked end-of-life (EOL). EOL is the equivalent of a product that is discontinued in retail circles, with the first model being a 2.8GHz machine with 512GB SSD, while the other will sport 1TB of flash storage.
It is widely tipped by industry watchers that Apple will refresh the 15” MacBook Pro by throwing in the likes of a Force Touch trackpad alongside faster processors, so we will just sit tight and keep our fingers crossed, aye?
