On May 4, 2020, Apple updated the partitions of its 2020 MacBook Pro, added 10-generation processes and more RAM to higher-end models, and increased storage in entry-level options.
However, the company may not have finished with the MacBook Pro updates scheduled for 2020. In this article, we'll talk about Apple's 16-inch Mac-Pro systems (and plans that still make it to the eighth generation) and the 14-inch model.
Continue reading to find out if the new MacBook Pro has a larger screen, if the 2020 MacBook Pro will offer better battery life, and that's when Apple will update the 16-inch MacBook Pro models and entry models.

Will there be another MacBook Pro update by 2020?
With the renewal of the MacBook Pro in May 2020, all Apple carriers now have a new magic keyboard replacing the keyboard in the company's butterfly mechanism, something that has been making the company expensive.
Now that every MacBook Pro model has a reliable keyboard, does Apple feel that it did the job faster? We do not think so.
In May 2020, only two mid-size MacBook Pro models are updated. The only change in entry level for the MacBook Pro, without the new keyboard, is that the storage doubles.
The 13-inch high-end MacBook Pro still packs eight Intel Core generation chips, slower RAM, and other features that look less than you can find on a MacBook Air 2020 today.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro hasn't been updated yet, though it had its 2019 update. In this way, it still has ninth-generation investigators, and the new 2020 13-inch models now have ten-generation processors.
Release dates
The most likely day for fans of the company will be to see the new 16-inch MacBook Pro interact with the event WWDC that Apple will take place in the month of June 2020.
We also think we will see an update to the 13-inch model before the end of the year. We estimate that it is possible in October, despite the current state of violence, it may involve delays.
The third possibility is Apple's possible termination of the MacBook Pro's entry-level model.
Will it be a new 14-inch MacBook Pro?
With the introduction of the 16-inch MacBook Pro last year in November 2019 (the 16-inch MacBook Pro benefited from a larger screen thanks to a reduced frame (you can see the difference in the image below, where the previous model is on the left).
After the arrival of that model, it has been rumored that Apple could replace the current 13-inch MacBook Pro with a larger screen model that would allow it to scale up to 14 inches without affecting the weight or size.
The idea is that Apple has produced a 14-inch MacBook Pro by reducing the bezels around the screen. It should be noted here that the 13-inch MacBook Pro actually has a 13.3-inch display screen.
Apple Producer Jon Prosser was photographed in early April insisting that an inch-long update to the McBook Pro could come in May. At the time, he predicted that the May update would be 13 inches, and added that the 14-inch was coming.
Another respected commentator is Ming-Chi Kuo, who also revealed that Apple is running a 14.1-inch MacBook Pro. In a March 2020 investor note, he suggested that Apple replace its 13-inch MacBook Pro with a 14.1-inch model and mini-LCD screen.
Screens and panels
We think it's possible that the 13-inch MacBook Pro will get a bigger screen as the 16-inch MacBook does in 2020, but there may be more issues awaiting this new display format.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple add a Mini-LED display to the MacBook Pro (and other products it does, including the Apple Pro), so that it can provide more details, other than the current Touch Bar.
However, this new display technology will not be available until after 2020 due to production delays caused by the global epidemic associated with COVID 19.
New Features and Specifications
Whether there is a review of the design or not, there are likely to be some internal changes regarding the investigation and storage processes. Next, we'll see the specifications we hope to see within the new MacBook Pro models.
There were a few design changes within the 16-inch MacBook Pro that could translate to new 13-inch models. Adjustments to internal heat management: a larger heat sink, and changes in the design of fans, with a logical board rearranged to achieve better heat distribution.
These changes come with the use of a larger 100 W battery and an additional power of 12 W. We bring back how the 13-inch MacBook Pro family lives:
- MacBook Pro 13 ”(2020) | Core i5 1.4 GHz (8th gen.) + 8 GB of RAM + 256 GB of storage: € 1,499
- MacBook Pro 13 ”(2020) | Core i5 1.4 GHz (8th gen.) + 8 GB of RAM + 512 GB of storage: € 1,749
- MacBook Pro 13 ”(2020) | Core i5 at 2 GHz (10th gen.) + 16 GB of RAM + 512 GB of storage: € 2,129
- MacBook Pro 13 ”(2020) | Core i5 at 2 GHz (10th gen.) + 16 GB of RAM + 1 TB of storage: € 2,379
These are entry prices for the four new models, but as always, this increases if you opt for multiple premiums. If you want a Core i7 processor, you'll need to pay € 375 (8th generation) or € 250 (10th generation) more.
Processor
The 16-inch MacBook Pro features the same ninth-generation processor found on the previous 15-inch model released in early 2019. With improved cooling management, the 16-inch MacBook Pro achieves better results on Geekbench even though the processor hasn't changed.
However the 16-inch MacBook Pro is sure to receive processor upgrades, especially now that the 13-inch MacBook Pro offers a 10-generation processor.
RAM memory
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro now offers 16GB of RAM as standard on both mid-range options. This leaves the entry level of the MacBook Air with a bit of memory for 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3.
The problem with this is that the MacBook Air offers 8GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, which is much faster. We expect Apple to roll out 13-inch entry-level models for this sometime in 2020.
Speakers and microphone
The 16-inch MacBook Pro enhanced the speakers with deep bass and microphone canceling sound. Will the 13-inch models receive the same update sometime?
We might see improvement, or not at the same rate. Advances in the 16-inch model may not be possible in the limited-edition 13-inch space: There are three speakers on each side of the 16-inch MacBook Pro (two of which are woofers). The 13-inch model cannot accept this physically.
As for the microphone, the 13-inch model probably doesn't require the three-dimensional "studio" microphone needed by high-end professional users.
Battery
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 100W battery (which is the largest battery allowed for laptops in flight). This larger battery means that the 16-inch model now offers 11 hours of continuous use.
In the case of the 13-inch model, the battery is 58.2 W for the basic 1.4GHz models, and the 58W battery for the 2.4 GHz models. Both guarantee 10 hours of use.
Apple may be looking for a way to get longer battery life for 13-inch models: The MacBook Air, for example, offers 12 hours of life with a low 49.9 W battery, so it must happen.
FaceID and webcam
We would like to see a better FaceTime camera on the MacBook. The MacBook Pro still offers a 720p camera. For comparison, the SpaceTime camera (also known as the Selfie camera) on the iPhone 11 list offers 1080p HD video recording and 12MP camera.
Apple really needs to upgrade its cameras, something that has become very evident in this era of video conferencing and telecommunications. The iPhone 11 camera is TrueDepth, so it also offers SpaceID, something we would like to see appear on the MacBook range.
Wifi 6
Another feature offered by the iPhone 11 range is 802.11ax or WiFi 6. So far, this has not come from any desktop or Mac desktop. This is something we would like to see, but it seems unlikely that we will see it earlier than 13-inches rather than 16-inches.
