the latest news for the Apple launch.
There have been a small storm of Apple news after the launch of the new MacBook Pro on Thursday, and since we can’t publish all the as own affairs, we have made a concise summary of the most important issues here:
MacBook Pro-the toolbar will display the function keys when Windows is running on Boot Camp
One of the big questions about the new Touch Bar at Apple’s new MacBook Pro, is how this will work when running Windows. According to an email from Craig Federighi, Apple’s programvaresjef, it will show “normal” function keys.
What might be meant by this is not good to know. It may mean that the Touch Bar shows the classic function keys from F1-F12, but it can also mean the classic function keys on the MacBook – that is for common tasks, such as volume, playback and display controls.
MacBook-toolbar runs on the Apple Watch hardware
Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has investigated the Touch Bar on the new MacBooken and arrived at T1, the chip it uses is a “variant of system-on-a-chip-the chip used in the Apple Watch.” This means that the Touch Bar is actually running a version of WatchOS on the T1 chip, and that the MacOS communicates with this through a USB bridge.
T1-chip also works as an extra layer of security against the FaceTime camera and the TouchID sensor, as it interacts with the rest of the computer through this USB bridge, according to MacRumors.
16 GB of ram in order to “save the battery”
Even though the MacBook Pro now uses the more energy efficient the Skylake processors, faster flashdisker, better Gpus and the new “thermal architecture,” Apple does not offer more than 16 GB of minnne on the machines.
Many have wondered why Apple is not offering 32 GB of memory in the purpose-built machines, but now have Phil Schiller responded that this is because of the battery life:
– To put in more than 16 GB of fast RAM in a laptop design at this time will require a minnesystem which consumes much more electricity, and this will not be effective enough for a notebook, ” says Schiller, in a reply to an email that asked about the 32 GB memory configurations.
Finished to produce the screens?
Many had expected a new Apple display from the launch on Thursday, but instead chose the Apple to display a 27-inch 5K UltraFine screen made in collaboration with LG, questioning Apple’s future display plans.
It has long been rumored that Apple is working with a Thunderbolt display that uses a separate video card, but the launch of the new display in collaboration with LG suggests that Apple is out of the screen industry. This is then also confirmed by The Guardian journalist Nilay Patel in a tweet:
Lg’s 5K UltraFine-screen costs 1 299,95 dollars (10 399 Norwegian kroner), and connects in your MacBook Pro with a single Thunderbolt 3 cable. But since it uses “Multi-stream transport” and the Thunderbolt 3, is it then also compatible only with new MacBook Pro until it comes with several Macs with the technology.
the Screen also offers charge function, has a broad color support, built-in stereo speakers and has ports on the back to connect to multiple devices. It also has a camera and microphone, which are all features that one could expect of an Apple-made display.
TouchID on the new MacBook Pro
It has come a video on YouTube that shows how the TouchID will look like in the new MacBook Pro, and it is quite stylish, if you ask us:
Thunderbolt 3 ports on the right side of the 13-inch MacBook Pro has a reduced bandwidth
Apple has released more information about Thundbolt ports on the new MacBook Pro, and while the 15-tommeren offer full performance on all ports to the machines, there are only two of the four ports on the 13-tommeren that offers the same.
The two ports on the right side has the Thunderbolt functionality, but will come with the reduced PCI Express bandwidth. Because of this recommend Apple to use the ports on the left side to the devices that require full bandwidth.
All the ports on all the pages of all the new MacBook Pro-one offers imidlert full USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth, which is 10Gb/s, writes MacRumors.
MacBook Pro 13-inch without Touch Bar has a removable SSD
It should be possible to take off the SSD module in the MacBook Pro 13-machine without the Touch Bar, according to Other World Computing, who have gotten their hands on a copy as they have begun to disassemble.
This may indicate that it is the muilig to switch out the module on their own, but it is not deleted for sure.
They also found that the bottom was harder to take off than previous generations, but that it was not used glue. You also need to remove høyttalermodulen to take out SSDen, which is taped with very strong adhesive tape.
