Apple is expected to receive volume shipments of a new 16-inch MacBook Pro this quarter, according to a new report from DigiTimes.
The existence of a new 16-inch MacBook Pro has been confirmed in macOS. For example, the latest release of macOS 10.15.1 leaked an image of the notebook's Touch Bar and keyboard. Previous reports predicted that Apple would unveil the new laptop by the end of October; however, it doesn't appear that will happen. Despite this, DigiTimes claims that Quanta Computer will begin volume shipments to Apple this quarter.
Apple's new 16-inch ultra-thin-bezel MacBook Pro is expected to begin volume shipments in the fourth quarter, while Microsoft's new third-generation Surface Laptop will boost sharply the brand vendor's shipments sequentially in the fourth quarter. Because of Apple's new MacBook Pro, Quanta Computer, the key supplier of the machine, is expected to see rising share of Taiwan's shipments in the fourth quarter, while Wistron and Pegatron will also see their shares grow thanks to Dell and Microsoft ramping up orders.
The report suggests that Apple may be taking volume shipments of the new MacBook Pro ahead of mid-December when the U.S. is set to impose a tariff on China-imported notebooks. It's possible that Apple may be planning to launch the notebook later this year or early next year and is pre-stocking inventory to avoid the tariff.
