Apple to Reportedly Stop Production of 13-Inch Non-Retina MacBook Pro Later This Year

Apple will cease production of the 13-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro later this year in favor of its thinner Retina notebooks, according to a new report (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20140305PD203.html) from DigiTimes. The 13-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro), which last saw an update in June 2012 (http://www.macrumors.com/2012/06/11/apple-updates-macbook-pro-and-macbook-air-models-with-minor-spec-bumps/), has remained as Apple's only MacBook Pro without a high-resolution screen after the 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro was discontinued (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/22/apple-discontinues-15-inch-non-retina-macbook-pro-leaves-13-inch-version-in-lineup/) last year.

 Apple has been expected to discontinue its standard MacBook Pros for quite some time in favor of an all Retina lineup. After Apple announced and subsequently released (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/22/apple-updates-retina-macbook-pros-with-haswell-processors-and-faster-pcie-flash-storage/) updated Retina MacBook Pros last October, the company cut the price of the entry level 13-inch Retina model to $1,299 - just $100 more than the non-Retina version.
 
 The company is also expected to update its 13-inch and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros in the future with Intel's forthcoming Broadwell chips, however the exact timing of those updates remains uncertain (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/21/intel-chip-roadmap-2014/) and differs for both models. While chips for the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro are not expected to launch until the first quarter of 2015, chips for the 15-inch models are expected to be released at certain points throughout 2014. Rumors have also suggested that Apple is working on a 12-inch Retina notebook (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/13/apple-predicted-to-release-ultra-slim-12-inch-macbook-with-retina-display-in-mid-2014/) for the middle of this year.
