16-Inch MacBook Pro Said to Launch in September With LCD and 3072x1920 Resolution

Apple plans to release a 16-inch MacBook Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) in September, according to Jeff Lin, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.

Lin believes the 16-inch display will be an LCD supplied by LG Display, with a resolution of 3,072×1,920 pixels, as outlined in IHS's latest Emerging PC Market Tracker (https://technology.ihs.com/612776/emerging-pc-market-tracker-q1-2019) report, published Thursday and obtained by Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/brookecrothers/2019/06/23/apple-plans-to-ship-16-inch-macbook-pro-this-year-says-ihs-markit-offers-more-details/).

For comparison, the 15-inch <!---->MacBook Pro<!----> has a resolution of 2,880×1,800 pixels.

"We foresee that Apple will release a new product [

at the] Sep'19 Apple event if there’s no unexpected development issue," Jeff Lin, Associate Director, Consumer Electronics at IHS Markit, said in an email, referring to the 16-inch <!---->MacBook Pro<!---->.Korean website The Elec recently reported that Samsung was in talks with Apple about supplying OLED displays for the 16-inch MacBook Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/05/23/samsung-oled-16-inch-macbook-pro-rumor/), but if the IHS Markit report is accurate, the notebook will have a LCD instead.





16-inch <!---->MacBook Pro<!----> rumors began with well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ming-chi-kuo/). Back in February, he said the notebook would launch at some point in 2019 (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/17/16-inch-macbook-pro-2019-kuo/) with an "all-new design," but he did not comment on which display technology the notebook would use or share any other details.





As would be expected, Lin claims the 16-inch <!---->MacBook Pro<!----> will feature a newer processor. No other details are known.





IHS Markit has an entire team dedicated to display-related research (https://technology.ihs.com/Research-by-Market/450433/displays), with close ties to the supply chain, so this rumor carries some weight. The research firm accurately revealed the original 10.5-inch iPad Pro's resolution (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/27/10-inch-ipad-2224x1668-resolution/) nearly four months in advance and also saw LTPO coming to the Apple Watch (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/08/24/future-iphone-displays-lpto-tft/).





Apple has never unveiled new Macs at its annual iPhone event in September, often waiting for October instead. Either way, it sounds increasingly likely that a 16-inch <!---->MacBook Pro<!----> is coming at some point this year.
