New MacBook Pro May be on the Horizon; New Filing Suggests

Jan. 14, 2020

That was mostly fixed with the new16-inch MacBook Pro Apple launchedlate last year with a better keyboard, a bigger display, and speakers that were almost universally loved by everyone who used it. Since then, we’ve been waiting for a redesign of the 13-inch MacBook Pro as well, and now, according to a new regulatory filing in the EEC spotted by 9to5Mac, it appears that the laptop might be coming soon.Image Courtesy: 9to5Mac

To be fair, the filing doesn’t give much away, but it does mention that the product is a “Portable personal computer” from Apple runningmacOS 10.15 Catalina, which definitely sounds like a MacBook. Hopefully it’ll be a 14-inch MacBook Pro with all the same improvements that the 16-inch model brought to the bigger MBP last year.

Further solidifying our hope that the “portable personal computer” mentioned in the filing is a 13 (or 14) inch MacBook Pro is the fact that it does sound like the logical next step for Apple towards making its MacBook Pro line-up better. The simple fact of the matter is that people simply don’t like the 13-inch MBP’s keyboard, and with the new keyboard on the 16-inch MacBook Pro being as loved as it is, one would hope Apple brings that same keyboard (among other things) to the smaller MacBook Pro as well.
