announced that it has updated the

lowered its starting price from $1,199 to $1,099 in the United States, or $999 for qualifying students through

Touch ID, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, Apple T2 chip with Hey
Siri support, louder speakers, and more.
$1,099 continues to get you a 1.6GHz dual-core Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, and Intel UHD Graphics 617.
Alongside today's update and price drop, Apple has also discontinued the 2017 <!---->MacBook Air<!---->, which it had continued to sell for $999 following the introduction of the revamped <!---->MacBook Air<!----> last October.
The
entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro was also refreshed today with the latest 8th-generation Intel Core quad-core processors for up to two times faster performance. The notebook now also features the Touch Bar, <!---->Touch ID<!---->, True Tone, and the Apple T2 chip. Pricing starts at $1,299, or $1,199 for qualifying students.
