![]() Graphics: Apple also says that the 10th-generation processors in the higher-end models, which feature integrated Iris Plus Graphics (currently lacking a version number on the spec page), provide up to 80% faster performance than the previous generation.It’s hard to know how much faster these processors are since Apple claims “up to 2.8 times faster performance” compared to a 13-inch MacBook Pro with dual-core processors (i.e., not the previous generation). ![]() The higher-end models, however, switch to either a 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 or a 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 (add $200). Processors: The lower-end models retain the same 8th-generation quad-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, running at 1.4 GHz and 1.7 GHz (add $300), respectively.That’s relevant because the first three of these changes apply only to the higher-end models. Minor Changes: Faster CPUs, Improved Display Support, and More RAMīefore we get to the minor changes, remember that there are two types of the 13-inch MacBook Pro: lower-end configurations with two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the left side and higher-end models with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two on each side. A 4 TB option is also available for the higher-end models-more on those next. Build-to-order options for 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB remain available. Now, the low end begins at 256 GB, and every standard configuration offers twice as much storage for the same price. Previously, the 13-inch MacBook Pro’s storage choices started at 128 GB. The second notable change revolves around the size of the internal storage. ![]() We aren’t huge fans of the Touch Bar, but like that slightly annoying friend-of-a-friend, it seems unlikely to be leaving the party anytime soon. Like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the new 13-inch model features a physical Escape key, a Touch Bar, and an independent Touch ID sensor. Most notable among the changes to the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is, of course, the replacement of the butterfly keyboard with the company’s new Magic Keyboard, which has received positive reviews in both the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the 13-inch MacBook Air. Major Changes: Magic Keyboard and Twice the Storage It’s not inconceivable that we could see such a product late this year-in 2019, Apple updated the 15-inch MacBook Pro in May before replacing it in November. Those rumors proved either to be wishful thinking or to apply to a future, more significant revision to Apple’s smaller MacBook Pro model. Rumors had suggested that Apple would replace the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a model featuring a 14-inch screen, much the way the 16-inch MacBook Pro replaced the previous 15-inch model. The new MacBook Pro comes in silver or space gray. Apple has also doubled the standard amount of flash storage to 256 GB. Hard on the heels of March’s update to the MacBook Air, Apple has updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro, marking the official end of the much-maligned butterfly keyboard.
