DG> My son told me he is considering buying the possible Macbook Pro 16 In but we read it might not include a new keyboard design. The report, relayed by Japanese blog Mac Otakara , claims that Taiwanese manufacturer Radiant Opto-Electronics will be the exclusive backlight module supplier for both the new iPad and the 16-inch MacBook Pro. No further details were provided. The new iPad likely refers to the rumored 10.2-inch model that is expected to succeed the low-cost 9.7-inch iPad. Apple introduced the low-cost iPad in March 2017, and refreshed it in March 2018, but March 2019 came and went without an update as Apple instead launched the 10.5-inch iPad Air and a new iPad mini . The source of the 10.2-inch iPad rumor, CoinX, has an accurate track record. The mystery account previously tweeted the iPhone XS , iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR names of the 2018 iPhones before anyone else, and was also accurate about the 10.5-inch iPad Air, the 2018 iPad Pro being 5.9mm thick, and more. If mass production of the new iPad begins this month, a release is likely on the horizon, but it is unclear if it will be a summer or fall product. 16-inch MacBook Pro rumors began with well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo . Back in February, he said the notebook would launch at some point in 2019 with an "all-new design ." Last month, IHS Markit analyst Jeff Lin said the notebook will launch in September and have a display resolution of 3,072×1,920 pixels .
