Apple Reportedly Launching Another MacBook With USB Type-C Port

Apple’s first notebook with a USB Type-C port is the 12 inch MacBook. That’s actually the only port it has and some might say that’s what makes the notebook less compatible with existing products. There is a shift towards USB Type-C but it’s going to be a while before it becomes widespread. Nevertheless, Apple is believed to continue down this road. According to reports the company is going to launch another MacBook this year that’s also going to have a USB Type-C port.

It’s unclear if it’s going to be the MacBook Pro or the MacBook Air that gets the USB Type-C port. Both notebooks are long overdue for a refresh and redesign, adding a USB Type-C port is certainly a good way to freshen things up a bit.

One of the reasons why Apple would like to go with a USB Type-C port in upcoming MacBooks is because it will enable the company to make them even thinner, and we all know how much Apple appreciates slim products, it’s quest to make thinner and lighter products is in a league of its own.

There have been some rumors about a new MacBook Pro. It’s believed that the upcoming MacBook Pro is going to feature an OLED touch bar which will replace the row of function keys and some rumors even claim it’s going to have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

None of this has obviously been confirmed by Apple so take it all with a grain of salt. It’s too soon to say when Apple is planning to unveil new MacBooks this year.
