Various reports have suggested that the 16-inch model will fit in the same form factor as the 15-inch model and that it will eventually replace the 15-inch line. Getting back to the keyboard, the new design is also expected to see the return of the physical ’esc’ key, a critical key for programmers and writers alike. The TouchBar is still expected to remain, however. The screen is expected to be a 16-inch LCD display with a slightly higher, 3072x1920 resolution. We’re hoping that Apple will offer a true HDR option for the display, given that the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Display XDR both support a brightness of over 1,000 nits. Apple is also expected to launch the **Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR** this year. It’s likely that this whole line of Pro(-er?) devices will launch together.
