Apple: "we believe in a truly wireless future" *one month later* Apple: DONGLE DONGLE DONGLE DONGLE DONGLE Update: y'all need to chill. It was a joke. Don't take it seriously.

like all apple products, technolgy is delayed to be added by several years. You will see the apple pencil update on the macs in another half a decade and they will call it innovation
salam , i have one and dont know how to use, also not able to download outlook nor skype . how to attached the file ... how can i keep the file from our another computer. i need your help on this.
CraveQube SD card slot, yeah. Apple shouldn't have gotten rid of that SD card slot. I don't know why they did. But the old USB A 3.0 ports and the HDMI ports ... nah, good riddance to those. USB C is the future and hopefully this move Apple made would force other computer and accessory manufacturers to take USB C seriously. I really don't agree with Apple's decision to remove the SD card slot, but I actually agree with Apple on putting USB C ports only.
Samuel Chattergoon Yeah, but HDMI isn't going no where, it isn't an "old" port, and most accessories for PCs use USB-A. There are few accessories that use USB-C, so that's why.
CraveQube HDMI isn't an old port, but USB C is a newer better port. Therefore, there is no reason whatsoever to keep the HDMI port and produce HDMI accessories. Also, it's not Apple's fault that other computer manufacturers chose to keep USB A. For example, Microsoft could have added USB C ports on their Surface last year. Even if they couldn't do it last year, they could have surely done it this year. Why haven't they? Google has USB C on their Chromebook Pixel, HP has USB C on one of their computers I think. Why aren't computer companies taking USB C seriously? Why is USB C only being taken seriously in phones?

Probably the best video review I've seen of the 2016 MacBook Pro yet. This one actually shows the Touch Bar being used in various different contexts, and makes me even more excited to get it!
I can live with port evolution. I like that each one covers such a range of functionally. I'd sell my backup drive and get a USBc one and for my DSLR I'd just buy a small SD Card adapter for those accessions I need to sync. What I don't like however is the excessive starting price of all the new machines.
WOW someone actually complaining, hating on and being a childish whiner about an Apple product? First time I've heard of this. Congrats for being the first.
GameDev1909 Game Engine Tutorials well, apple created the smart phone, but android and PC dick riders seem to love saying they are better. the apple touch bar is better than microsofts
TVSwarthy Marrow59 I tried out the Touch Bar today at Best Buy for the first time. It's pretty amazing! It's very smooth to the touch and the icons are very colorful and easy to read. I generally use Pages often and some of the functions aren't always easy to find. The Touch Bar instantly brought up those functions and that sold me. I tried out Safari Tabs and I will say the while the tabs were useful, they were a little small to view. Other than that, I'm pretty sold on it. Makes the other Macs that don't have one look terribly obsolete.
I've watched a lot of tech reviewers, MKBHD, Unbox Therapy and all the big guys. Definitely the most high-quality, in depth reviewer out there. Love the zooms on the products, especially with that 4K, your voice sounds really good and all. Don't get it why you don't have already 10 million subscribers.
excellent review as always, but still not sold on it lol. not yet ready to lose ports, glowing Apple logo, and start up chime for a touch bar, USB C, and touch id .
Orlando why is the glowing apple logo so important? I mean when you're working with your Mac, you don't even see it. lol Or is it more of a nostalgia thing? Would love to hear your though on it. I don't really mind it being gone cause it won't affect my work. but the start up chime is something else and I'm glad that you can re-enable it.
Nice video! But we really need to be more critical of APPLE now that this product has been brazenly released without adequate ports and non-upgradeable SSD like the Mac Pro Base model. They should have smoothed the transition by adding a couple USB 3.0 on each side and an SD Slot with Mag safe on both side, That would have been KILLER!
I agree, and to present this as the pro range - which I would assume is for professionals - does make you wonder whether they really know what their consumers want. It looks extremely sleek and beautiful but if that comes at the expense of having to bring more dongles, I find it extremely ironic. Been a huge supporter of Apple products but the iPhone 7 and latest line of Macbook Pros are only convincing me to make the switch. It's a "I really hate to, but I have to" scenario.
Non-upgradeable SSD/memory is nothing new, the previous generation of MacBook Pro was the same in that regard. As for the ports; Apple has always taken the position of the company to force change in the tech world. They did so when they removed the floppy drive from their computers, and when they removed the CD/DVD disc drive from their laptops. They also had a huge hand in the industry's movement away from Adobe Flash and adoption of HTML 5 as the new video-streaming standard, by not having pre-installed Flash on Macs, and having no Flash support on the iPhones. Apple uses their market share to force companies to move on to the new standards. In this case, that is USB-C. Other technology companies will be forced to accommodate the move to this new universal port as the ubiquitous standard. The need for dongles will be all but gone. This is not an easy position for them to take, because the transition period will always be somewhat difficult. But the end-result has always been progress. In a few years, almost every laptop will have adopted USB-C as the new and only USB standard, and Apple will be able to have most of the credit for this evolution.
usually one port at a time not all at once, excluding macbook air and one port macbook, of cours. So usually they kept some old ports like ethernet firewire audio in and out sdcard along with the new ports. But with the macbook/pro which had numerous current ports they just said forget all of them at the same tim,e save the headphone jack for now, this should frustrate users who now have to buy their dongles and makes what would be a empty bag with just your notebook and camera now have to add an sd card dongle, etc, usb stick, ethern dongle, , but there are some good docks avai lnow. I personally think Apple should have just included a small dongle with all of the ports they took out for a limited time, especially at Mac Pro's current high price. They removed the cd drive specifically because of greed. They wanted to force you to download your music from itunes, for which they get 30% margin for keeping a compressed cop of someone else's music on their server. They took out DVD players and did not put in bluray players for the same reason they wanted you to get your compressed SD/HD movies only from the itunes store. Thinness and production cost savings was a by product of that removal, as was less warranty claims for bad optical drives. And more itune sales of cds and SD/HD movies. They also created a market for a matching external dvd/cd for those that had to have one, way overpriced. They did not lower the price of any computer and pass along the removal of optical drive savings. Headphone jack removal will allow them to sell more dongles and licensed lightning headphone accessories, which had no reason to be if they kept the headphone jack. Most reviews say headphones sound worse and have less power with the added dongle, not to mention the ugly looks of a dongle wires. I predict ipads and ipods and than macs will follow with losing the headphone jack, and Apple will make millions licensing lightning (really just USB) to other manufactures. They knew perfectly well that all iphones would need an adapter to work with the new macbook pro, and whether you buy an Apple branded one or not, they get their cut. They also knew they could have added more than 16GB without sacrificing battery life, as an OS can cut off an unused memory chip, but than they want to introduce a 32GB one later and soldered of course, only available built to order by them, they have this all planned. This was the reason for no sd card in ipods, pads and phones, and ludicrous $100 upgrade prices from 16-64-128, when it only cosat them a few dollars at most. It also makes you want to upgrade to a new device sooner and or pay for more icloud space. There is no excuse for no sd card slot period, even fanboys agree, other than more Apple profits. The 2port macbook pro, only has one free usbc port when you are charging with the other one, crazy for it's price. Believe it or not I still miss the ethernet, battery remaining indicator, HDMI,magsafe (saved my laptop more than once), status light for sleeping on/off, and IR port for remotes. But of all of those, sd card slot is just crazy followed by magsafe (so you dont waist a valuable port just for charging, HDMI (4k would have been great for a clean hook up straight to the tv (but than no need for Apple TV or an adapter:( ) ethernet, that's the mini thin ethernet to full ethernet, because ethernet in Pro faster, more secure than wireless. Sorry for the rant, just had to release it now I'm fine. I must say like most Apple (Made in China by Foxxcon and cheap labor ) products, the Macbook Pro is one fine looking Machine.
Shibby, I don't actually know; I was just screwing around trying to find out how much of a rip off these were. BTW, the MacBook offers a 2TB SSD, which the iMac doesn't.
I just brought one of the last MacBook Pro with the a DVD player. mid-late 2012, for 1,200 the reason why cheaper, has all the ports, DVD player, and just classic
Adam T that one is actually a rip off. No retina, only one display port. Hard drive. Not an SSD. 2nd gen intel CPU. All around out dated and very slow compared to one you could buy for similar price with just as many ports
i have an older one to, no adapters necessary, yes its a little slower but my bag is actually lighter than this new gen, because i dont need any dongles to weigh it down :). Apple will probably not allow it to run the next OS upgrade to increase sales of newer machines and dongles. Now is the best time for competitors of Apple to hit Apple hard by increasing their build quality customer service looks and value.. I think other than greed and thinness and ego, Apple is hurting because it alone builds osx capable machines, so it has no competition to drive it to truly be competitive and innovate, so it has become a dictatorial monopoly and stagnate with no concern of what it's consumers that's pro consumers want and need, the mac pro, macbook pro and canceling the mac mini quad, all reflect this.
LOL at all the haters in the comment section. The truth is THEY KNOW that in 12 months Apple's competitors in the Windows world will start producing laptops the same way with limited I/O in order to move the industry forward. That's why they are upset. Otherwise to be upset over something you haven't bought is just being a whiny child and makes people look stupid. It's just COMPUTER people! Stop acting like it's life changing. Y'all need to find something else to do with your angry empty lives trippin' about dongles....something that we have all been using with computers for years. Do you ever use your computers to run programs or for it just sit there like a decorative toy on your desk?
i bought a chromebook and i can’t open it for 10 days so i was watching chromebook videos and i low-key watched so much that i FREAKING RAN OUT OF VIDEOS TO WATCH so i’m now binging on mike’s laptop videos :))
Bought mine almost 2 years ago & it's been great so far! No issues yet. I have the 250GB version in the gray color. Big improvement over my previous 2011 Macbook Pro. Expensive yes, but worth it!
When changing the volume or brightness on the touch bar, you can hold down your finger on the volume button, and it will expand automatically. Then without taking your finger off, you can slide up and down to change the volume or brightness.
Because most other reviewers are realistic and unbiased. By watching this guy I get the feeling he's stuck so deep in the apple environment that not using a macbook is just not an option, so he just talked himself into thinking it is a good laptop. Which it's not.
The Reason why magsafe 2.0 used to disconnect so easily was that if the charger wire was hanging down the table and in case somebody walks by and his foot gets stuck in the charger, it would bring down the whole laptop off the table. Therefore it was designed such that the magsafe would come out easily if somebody pulled the cable unintentionally leaving the laptop undisturbed & safe.These new chargers would bring down the whole laptop from the table as they don't get disconnected easily from their port. source: WWDC 2006, Steve Jobs.
well if I were to use it I d have a hub USB A to USB c apadter , HDMI/Display port adapter, headphone adapter(not sure if it have headjack already ) SD card adapter, Ethernet Adapter, and I think that's it..
MinBCraft Why would you need dongles? The latest hard drives have Bluetooth can back up your iPhone to your mac using wifi. You can also stream your mac to your TV using an Apple TV. Who need dongles?
No it would have made some sense since a couple months later they come with this macbook pro. Now you need an adapter to charge your new iphone to your new macbook = makes no sense!
think of all people with windows pc's , older macbook pro's macbook airs and people with iphone accessories just sync using wifi and back up using the cloud or buy a whole hub with all the missing ports u need and be left with 3 free future proof usb c ports !
Fouad Younes By the time those ports become the new standard, apple would have probably released the next 2 generations of MacBook Pro, along with next generation processors, making your purchase a waste of money. Including 1 or 2 USB A ports and 2 thunderbolt 3 would have been a near ideal solution. Sure, it wouldn't be as thin, but with the same thickness plus increased processor efficiency, you'd be looking at 12 and above hours of use
It might have been mentioned in the comments already: You don't have to expand the strip to bring up the slider for volume or brightness. Keep your finger on the virtual button, then slide left or right. Haven't used it myself. But that's how I've seen it in other videos.
Raymon Sharma the only thing? how about USBs... now it has this new shyt and it sucks now... the Apple glow logo was a classic thing that never changed and now they destroyed a great looking machine... Apple only destroys and makes new things quite obsolete
I really enjoy using this MacBook. I chose this one over a 2019 13" model because of the ram speed and it was the size I wanted. I only paid about $950 for it which I feel is a good price for a Mac with these specs. Awesome review video!
@@VICTORIAGENISE it works perfectly fine and I’m a programmer. It wouldn’t hurt buying a new one though. But for me, spending $4000 on a new laptop isn’t something I would do.
@@celineo9445 You could have gotten RTX4090 I9 13900h/14900h 64Gb ddr5 ram 4tb ultra fast SSD 4k 144hz screen For under $4k 🤯 Stop spending money on apple useless @ss product's 💀🤡
As always, Apple create beautiful laptops and there are plenty of impressive things with this one such as the form factor, the keyboard, the larger touch pad and crazy speed on the SSD. I think many people forget what a huge difference upgrades to the drive can make in every day use. It might not show up on the Benchmarks when you render a scene or push your CPU, but when you start your computer, open new programs, copy files etc it will definitely feel snappier than the previous generation. I'm also impressed if it is true that the battery will be 1 hour longer even though the battery size has shruken by like 25%. Regarding the touchbar. I think for any kind of "button" it is useless. I rather use keyboard shortcuts to open bars, archive, delete etc. However I'm sure it will be useful with things such as sliders, timelines, browsing etc. I didnt notice that they made the ESC-button part of the OLED screen. That's one of the most scarier thing of this computer.
if you wondering why the price is expensive,you need go to ibox,the apple official store,and you need try macbook or imac,from that you will feel the performance that apple offer,also,dont forget for the exclusive os,that is macOS,that was a exclusivity that apple offer to the macbook or mac users,everywhere, whose name is exclusive must be expensive
Love your videos! I love watching your videos on the new technology that is out, I got a 13" inch MacBook pro with touch bar and Touch ID, and I absolutely love it!
Although this is a really good looking computer, I still prefer my 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro with lighted Apple logo, MagSafe 2, and all the I/O ports I need with no adapters.
The only way the MagSafe disconnected was if someone stepped in and pulled it, otherwise that never happened. The more I watch videos, the more I think the touchbar is an uncomfortable useless piece of junk....definitely not worthy the effin' amount of money Apple is asking for it. 🙄😑
The Magsafe connector would disconnect for me if I sneezed, any tension from movement would knock it off. I never really understood why it was liked but I know it's very popular.
DetroitBORG Weird. That never happened with me....but I have an "old" (bought one year ago) sturdier and heavier MBP A1278 model, so maybe it moved but I didn't notice it. 😊🙂
I don't understand Apple anymore. The touch id is not that innovative, why can't Apple use a real touch screen like everyone else. Also why take away all the ports, for that amount, I don't think it is worth it.
Chris Burak because in the future usb c will be the thing. And MOST people don't want a touchscreen on a MacBook. Because touchscreens are useful only in laptops that are 2 in one. Apple already has a good trackpad, adding a touch screen would only make it more expensive
They are trying to build a good solid laptopa, adding a touch screen is a waste of time. The touch bar is inovative, it's not just a little touch screen, its a seperate computer
I really appreciate your in depth reviews. They help me with choosing products and I really appreciate that. Your videos are easy to watch and almost therapeutic. 👍 keep up the good work
At 4800USD great for instant access to emojis yay !!!!! Everyone doing these unbox reviews are giving the same information we already got once with the press event.
Just buy one dongle which have each and every port don't go crazy over dongles......apple did it right way coz they don't gonna update next MacBook till 2020 i guess by that time everything will be usb-c so it make sense
I use both Windows and Mac, both are great imo, ROG Zephyrus for gaming, Macbook Pro for study sessions and editing. Love them both so damn much, Windows and Mac can coexist, and they do compliment each other well.
Welp, questionable move by Apple. This time, a feature they implemented is actually useful, not joking, the touch bar is an awesome shortcut method. Definitely an upgrade, but the pro 460 is on par with the gtx 750ti from what I saw, one of the cheapest and well known gpu from 2013. Not a powerful gpu for much more demanding work, a problem for power users. For that price, you're obviously paying for build/name/OS, not the powerful hardware some of us hoped for. But again, Apple isn't known for these kinds of hardware. I'm hoping they're going todo a better job with their new iMac. But you can always add an external gpu thanks to the tb3 ports, if you're willing to pay $200+$gpu+$psu.
Moritz Mahringer Alright, I should say from what I saw. The cinebench and gfxbench benchmarks are not enough for evidence, gotta get my hands on one of these for testing. Still, rx 460 is on par/better with/than gtx 750ti, and the pro 460 is a cut down version of it, the clock speed is lower. Surprisingly it has more shader and texture mapping cores. Really want to test it.
How is it an upgrade when it added additional steps to previously 1 step functions, and is in no way comparable to any touch screen laptops already out there? It's also not very customizable. If something added hardwards adds an additional, unnecessary, and previously non-existent extra step, it's a downgrade.
Unorthodo_x if they do that then it will be a nearly 3,000 laptop starting. They do have to pay high royalties when using Nvidia. Not to mention AMD is soon to release the if Vega gpus next year. I'm nog an Apple fan but I'm sure they made the decisions they had go make to keep cost "down".
Never been a fan of magsafe? Like the best feature of the macs. This whole review feels biased and as though you don't want to upset apple by calling them out on a number of things.
What about the fact they decided not to use the newest of hardware? Like new generations of the intel CPU's or even the now consumer standard DDR4 memory? Or the fact that they have removed many of the Inputs that were synonymous with the Pro line? this is literally a thicker Macbook with a nonessential touch bar that was added to show some form of development. All these drawbacks and they still increase the premium at which they are available.
In all honesty now that I think about it, what is there not to like about it? it's aesthetically pleasing, the utility is provides is second to non, and if they wanted adding some forms of quick charge technology would be easier said than done by the "Pioneering Engineer's" over at Apple.
I too was looking for a MBP and was doing my research for several months, and I just recently purchased one. I bought the MBP 13” without the touchbar 128gb, for only $999.99 regular price is 1299.99. Reason why I went for that one it’s because I don’t care for the touchbar and I don’t like the bigger screen. Bestbuy had a 24hrs sale going on so I didn’t think twice. So my point is just do your research and wait for the right moment like I did.
Shibby I think he was talking about the original poster that replied to your comment saying "who are you?" rather than trying to back up his hopeless comment.
He might buy them for review purposes only. He can return them to Apple for full refund within 14 days. Also, since he is an online reviewer, he can request that some companies send him their new product on loan so he can review it and get word out about it.
DetroitBORD is misleading. This guy looks only on the bright side. He never mentions any downsides. Not a good channel to look at if you really wanna invest in a $3k machine.
maybe your negatives are different from his negatives. Like with the iPhone 7 for me, most people bitched about the headphone jack, i could care less. Personally i like it better without it, it looks a lot cleaner. Just as an example.
It's my birthday soon and I'm planning to get a MacBook which one should I get in still in school I have a lot of projects and my old laptop is not functional Help???? But I also like to play games fyi
Always enjoy your reviews. Find them informative and concise. However, would like it if you showed viable alternatives at the end. Possibly a price comparison too.

Felix Johnson I just mean like... the new MacBook doesn't really follow that vision. You need adapters to plug your phone in.
You're still going to use wires to use your phone. But yes MacBook owners will have to use dongles for a little while until things adapt to USB-C.
At least it has a headphone jack

Nice video! But we really need to be more critical of APPLE now that this product has been brazenly released without adequate ports and non-upgradeable SSD like the Mac Pro Base model. They should have smoothed the transition by adding a couple USB 3.0 on each side and an SD Slot with Mag safe on both side, That would have been KILLER!
DaWhiteCastle Are you alway this arrogant and smug without providing any SUBSTANCE?
Let me guess 16yo, no job apple fan boy that understands everything.
I agree, and to present this as the pro range - which I would assume is for professionals - does make you wonder whether they really know what their consumers want. It looks extremely sleek and beautiful but if that comes at the expense of having to bring more dongles, I find it extremely ironic. Been a huge supporter of Apple products but the iPhone 7 and latest line of Macbook Pros are only convincing me to make the switch. It's a "I really hate to, but I have to" scenario.
Non-upgradeable SSD/memory is nothing new, the previous generation of MacBook Pro was the same in that regard.
As for the ports; Apple has always taken the position of the company to force change in the tech world. They did so when they removed the floppy drive from their computers, and when they removed the CD/DVD disc drive from their laptops. They also had a huge hand in the industry's movement away from Adobe Flash and adoption of HTML 5 as the new video-streaming standard, by not having pre-installed Flash on Macs, and having no Flash support on the iPhones. Apple uses their market share to force companies to move on to the new standards. In this case, that is USB-C. Other technology companies will be forced to accommodate the move to this new universal port as the ubiquitous standard. The need for dongles will be all but gone. This is not an easy position for them to take, because the transition period will always be somewhat difficult. But the end-result has always been progress. In a few years, almost every laptop will have adopted USB-C as the new and only USB standard, and Apple will be able to have most of the credit for this evolution.
usually one port at a time not all at once, excluding macbook air and one port macbook, of cours.
So usually they kept some old ports like ethernet firewire audio in and out sdcard along with the new ports.
But with the macbook/pro which had numerous current ports they just said forget all of them at the same tim,e save the headphone jack for now, this should frustrate users who now have to buy their dongles and makes what would be a empty bag with just your notebook and camera now have to add an sd card dongle, etc, usb stick, ethern dongle, , but there are some good docks avai lnow.
I personally think Apple should have just included a small dongle with all of the ports they took out for a limited time, especially at Mac Pro's current high price.
They removed the cd drive specifically because of greed.
They wanted to force you to download your music from itunes, for which they get 30% margin for keeping a compressed cop of someone else's music on their server.
They took out DVD players and did not put in bluray players for the same reason they wanted you to get your compressed SD/HD movies only from the itunes store.
Thinness and production cost savings was a by product of that removal, as was less warranty claims for bad optical drives.
And more itune sales of cds and SD/HD movies.
They also created a market for a matching external dvd/cd for those that had to have one, way overpriced.
They did not lower the price of any computer and pass along the removal of optical drive savings.
Headphone jack removal will allow them to sell more dongles and licensed lightning headphone accessories, which had no reason to be if they kept the headphone jack.
Most reviews say headphones sound worse and have less power with the added dongle, not to mention the ugly looks of a dongle wires.
I predict ipads and ipods and than macs will follow with losing the headphone jack, and Apple will make millions licensing lightning (really just USB) to other manufactures.
They knew perfectly well that all iphones would need an adapter to work with the new macbook pro, and whether you buy an Apple branded one or not, they get their cut.
They also knew they could have added more than 16GB without sacrificing battery life, as an OS can cut off an unused memory chip, but than they want to introduce a 32GB one later and soldered of course, only available built to order by them, they have this all planned.
This was the reason for no sd card in ipods, pads and phones, and ludicrous $100 upgrade prices from 16-64-128, when it only cosat them a few dollars at most.
It also makes you want to upgrade to a new device sooner and or pay for more icloud space.
There is no excuse for no sd card slot period, even fanboys agree, other than more Apple profits.
The 2port macbook pro, only has one free usbc port when you are charging with the other one, crazy for it's price.
Believe it or not I still miss the ethernet, battery remaining indicator, HDMI,magsafe (saved my laptop more than once), status light for sleeping on/off, and IR port for remotes.
But of all of those, sd card slot is just crazy followed by magsafe (so you dont waist a valuable port just for charging, HDMI (4k would have been great for a clean hook up straight to the tv (but than no need for Apple TV or an adapter:( ) ethernet, that's the mini thin ethernet to full ethernet, because ethernet in Pro faster, more secure than wireless.
Sorry for the rant, just had to release it now I'm fine.
I must say like most Apple (Made in China by Foxxcon and cheap labor ) products, the Macbook Pro is one fine looking Machine.
a laptop costing 3k US dollars , man i have used 3 laptops and 2 desktops since 2003 , they combined don't cost this much :(
Shibby :(
Fun fact: a fully spec-ed out 2016 MacBook Pro costs more than a fully spec-ed out iMac.
Shibby, I don't actually know; I was just screwing around trying to find out how much of a rip off these were. BTW, the MacBook offers a 2TB SSD, which the iMac doesn't.
Your reviews are always pleasant to watch. Great cinematography and succinct, organized narration that isn't loud and boisterous.
With the volume slider you can just hold down from first position and slide you don't have to tap, open new section then slide.
I just brought one of the last MacBook Pro with the a DVD player. mid-late 2012, for 1,200 the reason why cheaper, has all the ports, DVD player, and just classic
Adam T that one is actually a rip off. No retina, only one display port. Hard drive. Not an SSD. 2nd gen intel CPU. All around out dated and very slow compared to one you could buy for similar price with just as many ports
Matt Crowder I wanted da DVD port, I travel a lot
Adam T well then that's good, that's about the only good thing about it.
Matt Crowder it works! I rather have convenience than looks and weight
i have an older one to, no adapters necessary, yes its a little slower but my bag is actually lighter than this new gen, because i dont need any dongles to weigh it down :).
Apple will probably not allow it to run the next OS upgrade to increase sales of newer machines and dongles.
Now is the best time for competitors of Apple to hit Apple hard by increasing their build quality customer service looks and value..
I think other than greed and thinness and ego, Apple is hurting because it alone builds osx capable machines, so it has no competition to drive it to truly be competitive and innovate, so it has become a dictatorial monopoly and stagnate with no concern of what it's consumers that's pro consumers want and need, the mac pro, macbook pro and canceling the mac mini quad, all reflect this.
They even removed the Apple boot up sound? Jesus Apple it's like you want people to not like you anymore...
Logan S. you can turn it on in the settings
That sound was immortalised in the film DON JON.
Logan S. You can easily turn it back on you muppet !
Do you know where Apple headquarters are? because you should go and suck some ass there...
Who is this guy 😭
LOL at all the haters in the comment section. The truth is THEY KNOW that in 12 months Apple's competitors in the Windows world will start producing laptops the same way with limited I/O in order to move the industry forward. That's why they are upset. Otherwise to be upset over something you haven't bought is just being a whiny child and makes people look stupid. It's just COMPUTER people! Stop acting like it's life changing. Y'all need to find something else to do with your angry empty lives trippin' about dongles....something that we have all been using with computers for years. Do you ever use your computers to run programs or for it just sit there like a decorative toy on your desk?
i bought a chromebook and i can’t open it for 10 days so i was watching chromebook videos and i low-key watched so much that i FREAKING RAN OUT OF VIDEOS TO WATCH so i’m now binging on mike’s laptop videos :))
Bought mine almost 2 years ago & it's been great so far! No issues yet. I have the 250GB version in the gray color. Big improvement over my previous 2011 Macbook Pro. Expensive yes, but worth it!
When changing the volume or brightness on the touch bar, you can hold down your finger on the volume button, and it will expand automatically. Then without taking your finger off, you can slide up and down to change the volume or brightness.
Your review has been overwhelmingly favorable vs others. Maybe because you maxed specs?
Agreed, even The Verge gave it a low score, and we all know they worship Apple
Almost all big reviewers get paid by the companies to review their products.
nallaaa1480 No Apple does not
Because most other reviewers are realistic and unbiased. By watching this guy I get the feeling he's stuck so deep in the apple environment that not using a macbook is just not an option, so he just talked himself into thinking it is a good laptop. Which it's not.
it is actually a really good laptop. the only complaint is the size of the trackpad, way too big for no reasons.
The Reason why magsafe 2.0 used to disconnect so easily was that if the charger wire was hanging down the table and in case somebody walks by and his foot gets stuck in the charger, it would bring down the whole laptop off the table. Therefore it was designed such that the magsafe would come out easily if somebody pulled the cable unintentionally leaving the laptop undisturbed & safe.These new chargers would bring down the whole laptop from the table as they don't get disconnected easily from their port.

Rahul S Nampalliwar NO SHIT SHERLOCK
Rahul S Nampalliwar you really knows laptops. Wow...
You can just press, hold and slide to change volume or brightness. No need to navigate through two layers.
How many reviewers missed that surprising.
will it charge faster if you plug in more than one power ac ? lol
Nah, it will just charge from the first one that connects.
what an awesome channel that you go to the efforts of finding that out
Boi
Just ordered mine 3 days ago from ebay.to/2fFTMVl ac power from 1 ac only tried it
CODGODS11 it will pull a note 7 and go book
How does it reacts if we connect 4 power adapter cable in all 4 ports?
Please do post the comment when you find out. Thank you.
The computer uses only one of them and ignores the rest. :)
Well, intuitively that makes sense.
Jarvis informs you that your MacBook is powered up to 400% capacity. Then you use it to blast Thor.
by throwing your Macbook at Thor. but then you realize Siri was just messing with you.
This macbook pro would be great if i don't have to carry tons of dongles in my bag if i buy it
I ordered one and realised I really only need ONE, the USB-C to normal USB. (That specific cable is only 9 euro here...) People are overreacting :)
well if I were to use it I d have a hub USB A to USB c apadter , HDMI/Display port adapter, headphone adapter(not sure if it have headjack already ) SD card adapter, Ethernet Adapter, and I think that's it..
When I had my Macbook pro 13" mid-2010 before the HDD cable was shorting out the logic board the only dongle I had to use is mini DP to HDMI
MinBCraft Why would you need dongles? The latest hard drives have Bluetooth can back up your iPhone to your mac using wifi. You can also stream your mac to your TV using an Apple TV. Who need dongles?
Yeah and it didn't cost an extra fortune + the hidden cost of dongle hell.
Also, Apple should have brought the iPhone 7 with USB-C port not with lightning!!!
No it would have made some sense since a couple months later they come with this macbook pro. Now you need an adapter to charge your new iphone to your new macbook = makes no sense!
The Chosen One completely agree, and you'd be replacing the universal headphone jack standard with another soon to be universal standard
think of all people with windows pc's , older macbook pro's macbook airs
and people with iphone accessories
just sync using wifi and back up using the cloud or buy a whole hub with all the missing ports u need and be left with 3 free future proof usb c ports !
Fouad Younes By the time those ports become the new standard, apple would have probably released the next 2 generations of MacBook Pro, along with next generation processors, making your purchase a waste of money. Including 1 or 2 USB A ports and 2 thunderbolt 3 would have been a near ideal solution. Sure, it wouldn't be as thin, but with the same thickness plus increased processor efficiency, you'd be looking at 12 and above hours of use
just apple being apple man , really dissappointing!
but still usb c on an iphone is a nono !
There is no one better in unboxing and review than detroitborg
It might have been mentioned in the comments already: You don't have to expand the strip to bring up the slider for volume or brightness. Keep your finger on the virtual button, then slide left or right. Haven't used it myself. But that's how I've seen it in other videos.
wtf why the fuck did you disklike that the connector disconnected easily? that is a life saver sometime.
Marco Gibbins sometimes charging on a bed it unplugged thats been my experience maybe his too
EXACTLY! I was like, what the hell is he talking about?? It saved my mbp from flying off a desk a couple of times already.
i always used it on bed and it never unplugged on accident
He said he disliked it for disconnecting too easily and it being proprietary. What do you not understand about that?
what your name?
aww man, still a tough choice! 😬 great video as always my friend!
Jared Busch Hey Jared!
Thanks Jared! Time marches on dongles and all, I guess we have to get use to it.
I will have giveaways, but only of new stuff. The 2015 is going up for sale shortly along with 2 MBAs and the 2015 13-inch MBP once I get the 2016.
DetroitBORG do you put it on eBay?
Not yet, just way too busy to take a moment to list new stuff.
The only thing missing is that glowing apple logo
+ ports, magnetic charger
And innovation
Alfie Moon haha..ya magnetic charger sure
Raymon Sharma the only thing? how about USBs... now it has this new shyt and it sucks now... the Apple glow logo was a classic thing that never changed and now they destroyed a great looking machine... Apple only destroys and makes new things quite obsolete
I think the new apple design is slicker
I really enjoy using this MacBook. I chose this one over a 2019 13" model because of the ram speed and it was the size I wanted. I only paid about $950 for it which I feel is a good price for a Mac with these specs. Awesome review video!
Same just bought one and it’s in 2021 😁. The newest MacBook Pro 16inch has a better keyboard though.
@@celineo9445 Would you say that it's better than the 2021 one? Planning to buy this one!
@@VICTORIAGENISE it works perfectly fine and I’m a programmer. It wouldn’t hurt buying a new one though. But for me, spending $4000 on a new laptop isn’t something I would do.

Stop spending money on apple useless @ss product's 💀🤡
Watching a review of the 2016 Macbook Pro 15... on a 2016 Macbook Pro 15.
Ultimate meta.
As always, Apple create beautiful laptops and there are plenty of impressive things with this one such as the form factor, the keyboard, the larger touch pad and crazy speed on the SSD. I think many people forget what a huge difference upgrades to the drive can make in every day use. It might not show up on the Benchmarks when you render a scene or push your CPU, but when you start your computer, open new programs, copy files etc it will definitely feel snappier than the previous generation.
I'm also impressed if it is true that the battery will be 1 hour longer even though the battery size has shruken by like 25%.
Regarding the touchbar. I think for any kind of "button" it is useless. I rather use keyboard shortcuts to open bars, archive, delete etc. However I'm sure it will be useful with things such as sliders, timelines, browsing etc.
I didnt notice that they made the ESC-button part of the OLED screen. That's one of the most scarier thing of this computer.
Does the touch bar work on porn hub? I'm asking for a , "friend"
yes it does ;)
you can scrub through all the tabs of porn you have opened so you can do quick switches to each one
Clorox Bleach loot from 10 hours of watching porn
since pornhub is a site, it wont. unless they have an app that supports touch bar then it will
Clorox Bleach Yes, sites like RUclips get video playback controls in the Touch Bar already.
Tenraiden only in safari tho ;/
who's a bigger boss, flossy Carter or Detroit Borg? 😂

your apple watch band gives me the chills. idk why.
I get the chills when Mike uploads.
Disappointing for the price tag. I'll probably just wait until an OCD fanboy scratches theirs and puts it on eBay.
HAHAH me too 😂😂
if you wondering why the price is expensive,you need go to ibox,the apple official store,and you need try macbook or imac,from that you will feel the performance that apple offer,also,dont forget for the exclusive os,that is macOS,that was a exclusivity that apple offer to the macbook or mac users,everywhere, whose name is exclusive must be expensive
😂😂😂😂😂😂
ArkaSEN1151 you have no idea where to put commas so you just put them everywhere lol
@Caynn he uses commas for perioDs lol
buying the 2016 macbook is like a white frat boy buying a gram of grass for $100
I have 3 words : " *TOO FUCKIN EXPENSIVE* "
Best tech reviews on planet. I'm really waiting to see a in-depth comparison of the new 13" vs 15" modals.
Love your videos! I love watching your videos on the new technology that is out, I got a 13" inch MacBook pro with touch bar and Touch ID, and I absolutely love it!
Although this is a really good looking computer, I still prefer my 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro with lighted Apple logo, MagSafe 2, and all the I/O ports I need with no adapters.
“Disconnected way too easily” ... that’s the point lol
It still disconnected way too easy though
I wish using apple was as healthy as eating an apple😂
I love your videos, they're about as thorough as one could hope. Makes for a better informed decisions regarding purchasing. Thank you.
That's the kind of review I was looking for: informative and to the point. I liked the tone. Thank you!
What do you do when you need to force restart it and the Touch Bar doesn't work?
Ronald Pinheiro I believe apples honest answer would be "screw you, we're apple"
Ronald Pinheiro the touch ID is also a physical button, so you can force reboot if needed.
All you do is unscrew the back and take out the batt
The touch ID part is a physical button. I'm guessing you commented before watching the video?
The power button is an actual key, so no worries there.
The only way the MagSafe disconnected was if someone stepped in and pulled it, otherwise that never happened.
The more I watch videos, the more I think the touchbar is an uncomfortable useless piece of junk....definitely not worthy the effin' amount of money Apple is asking for it. 🙄😑
The Magsafe connector would disconnect for me if I sneezed, any tension from movement would knock it off. I never really understood why it was liked but I know it's very popular.
LucienSabre MagSafe
Äĥmèd Ŷüšhãū I had corrected it, but thanks for the tip. 😊
DetroitBORG Weird. That never happened with me....but I have an "old" (bought one year ago) sturdier and heavier MBP A1278 model, so maybe it moved but I didn't notice it. 😊🙂
LucienSabre no problem 🤗
DetroitBORG is it possible that apple still sells older versions of the MacBook pro?
PikaZap364 go to their online refurbished store
PikaZap364 they still sell the low-tier 2015 models
PikaZap364 they do sell the 2015 model fully customizable
They still sell the previous 13" model.
finally some good video for new person who want to consider getting for first time.
Awesome review. no verbal pauses. youre a pro!!
Apple is the company witch puts an OLED Touch Bar in their computers and puts LCD Screens In their Phones
and the oled made by samsung
The iPhone X is oled.
Snapchat Dotcom He typed this comment before it came out lmao
I wanna buy this but i can't afford it😢
Night Fusion me too
Night Fusion save up
Tudor Duica gaming laptops are more expensive,because you also have to buy a forklift.
Tudor Duica But gaming laptops look so bulky and is heavy as fuck.
I prefer fucking ROG than this
I don't understand Apple anymore. The touch id is not that innovative, why can't Apple use a real touch screen like everyone else. Also why take away all the ports, for that amount, I don't think it is worth it.
Chris Burak because in the future usb c will be the thing. And MOST people don't want a touchscreen on a MacBook. Because touchscreens are useful only in laptops that are 2 in one. Apple already has a good trackpad, adding a touch screen would only make it more expensive
Äĥmèd Ŷüšhãū trust me, apple isn't trying to keep the price down
Chris Burak screen touch on screen is only for speed ppl
They are trying to build a good solid laptopa, adding a touch screen is a waste of time. The touch bar is inovative, it's not just a little touch screen, its a seperate computer
Callum B It's not innovative. It's a gimmick
I really appreciate your in depth reviews. They help me with choosing products and I really appreciate that. Your videos are easy to watch and almost therapeutic. 👍 keep up the good work
I just ordered mine today. It's new, so this gave me an idea of what I'm looking forward to... It's actually a new format altogether...😳
At 4800USD great for instant access to emojis yay !!!!! Everyone doing these unbox reviews are giving the same information we already got once with the press event.
Just buy one dongle which have each and every port don't go crazy over dongles......apple did it right way coz they don't gonna update next MacBook till 2020 i guess by that time everything will be usb-c so it make sense
Or buy 4 of those said hubs and boom, you got an intense workhorse...Idk.
a new macbook pro with dock/dongles in a bag actually wiil weigh more than the old one that had all ports included.
:) crazy. and ironic.
RICKY SEKHON There'll be faster ports through that time. Tech is in evolution, non-stop.
So next year the TouchBar is going to have a 3D Touch... 🤔
I use both Windows and Mac, both are great imo, ROG Zephyrus for gaming, Macbook Pro for study sessions and editing.
Love them both so damn much, Windows and Mac can coexist, and they do compliment each other well.
This is extremely well crafted and edited, thank you for the information.
Can't you adjust the volume by pressing the function keys?
No function keys
Moved away from Macbooks. For half the price, I get 15 more powerful laptop, and I can run a virtualized MacOS. Win!
Does it have a Headphone jack build in at least? Great review once again :)
It does on the right side.
Finalllly there is something for which i wont need that tool box i mean donglee
Love your vids! First youtuber I've found that's from my state!
Im watching this is on a 15 inch macbook pro with Touch Bar and still this video is giving me the feeling to run to the apple store and buying one
Welp, questionable move by Apple. This time, a feature they implemented is actually useful, not joking, the touch bar is an awesome shortcut method. Definitely an upgrade, but the pro 460 is on par with the gtx 750ti from what I saw, one of the cheapest and well known gpu from 2013. Not a powerful gpu for much more demanding work, a problem for power users. For that price, you're obviously paying for build/name/OS, not the powerful hardware some of us hoped for. But again, Apple isn't known for these kinds of hardware. I'm hoping they're going todo a better job with their new iMac. But you can always add an external gpu thanks to the tb3 ports, if you're willing to pay $200+$gpu+$psu.
from your experience, afaik the pro 460 was announced in parallel with the macbook pro, so where does that experience come from?
Moritz Mahringer Alright, I should say from what I saw. The cinebench and gfxbench benchmarks are not enough for evidence, gotta get my hands on one of these for testing. Still, rx 460 is on par/better with/than gtx 750ti, and the pro 460 is a cut down version of it, the clock speed is lower. Surprisingly it has more shader and texture mapping cores. Really want to test it.
I know I really hope they use Nvidia next year... their new 10 series cards are ridiculously fast.
How is it an upgrade when it added additional steps to previously 1 step functions, and is in no way comparable to any touch screen laptops already out there? It's also not very customizable. If something added hardwards adds an additional, unnecessary, and previously non-existent extra step, it's a downgrade.
Unorthodo_x if they do that then it will be a nearly 3,000 laptop starting. They do have to pay high royalties when using Nvidia. Not to mention AMD is soon to release the if Vega gpus next year. I'm nog an Apple fan but I'm sure they made the decisions they had go make to keep cost "down".
hey mike you should do Oneplus 3t unboxing and review!
I have one on the way, just made the arrangements.
Never been a fan of magsafe? Like the best feature of the macs. This whole review feels biased and as though you don't want to upset apple by calling them out on a number of things.
I'm not the only one who doesn't like MagSafe.
What about the fact they decided not to use the newest of hardware? Like new generations of the intel CPU's or even the now consumer standard DDR4 memory? Or the fact that they have removed many of the Inputs that were synonymous with the Pro line? this is literally a thicker Macbook with a nonessential touch bar that was added to show some form of development. All these drawbacks and they still increase the premium at which they are available.
+DetroitBORG
You're in the minority, then.
In all honesty now that I think about it, what is there not to like about it? it's aesthetically pleasing, the utility is provides is second to non, and if they wanted adding some forms of quick charge technology would be easier said than done by the "Pioneering Engineer's" over at Apple.
Thank you. And thank you for your response.
THE AD ON THE VIDEO JUST CHANGED MY LIFE SOMEONE WAS PLAYING HEATHENS ON THE PIANO OH MY FUCKING GOD
Great Video. Still love my 2013 MacBook Pro 13". It still is fast.
WHO CAN I TALK TO, TO GET THIS ONE IN ROSE GOLD ??
Jesus But He Might Not Answer
I want one, but the price is way too high.
it is over 9000 high!
I too was looking for a MBP and was doing my research for several months, and I just recently purchased one. I bought the MBP 13” without the touchbar 128gb, for only $999.99 regular price is 1299.99. Reason why I went for that one it’s because I don’t care for the touchbar and I don’t like the bigger screen. Bestbuy had a 24hrs sale going on so I didn’t think twice. So my point is just do your research and wait for the right moment like I did.
Hahahahahahahahahaha "pro" hahahahahahha
Shibby Who are you? Leave me alone
see a doctor
Alexander Espinal it is pro, but it's too overpriced.
Hey Shibby, how do I load my video footage and photography on this device?
Shibby I think he was talking about the original poster that replied to your comment saying "who are you?" rather than trying to back up his hopeless comment.
Finally, a review of the MacBook Pro with the price in Canadian dollars
I first thought the touch bar was not that usefull, but it has some really cool features.
I was the very first person to subscribe to detroitBORG
Why is every video that has to do with the touch bar in 4K?
God damn man! How do you get all these expensive apple products??
You must be rich! :)
Love the reviews though man! Keep it up!
He might buy them for review purposes only. He can return them to Apple for full refund within 14 days. Also, since he is an online reviewer, he can request that some companies send him their new product on loan so he can review it and get word out about it.
You can ask companies to send you products for review. If you have a decent amount of subscribers, they will do so.
Really found your review helpful. I'm considering getting the 15". Thanks!
The late 2015 macbook pro was the best choise I've made.
next MacBook will HV a full touch keyboard
DetroitBORD is misleading. This guy looks only on the bright side. He never mentions any downsides. Not a good channel to look at if you really wanna invest in a $3k machine.
ed tyler What are you talking about? He mentioned the downsides like the port changes. What else did you wanted him to say?
maybe your negatives are different from his negatives. Like with the iPhone 7 for me, most people bitched about the headphone jack, i could care less. Personally i like it better without it, it looks a lot cleaner. Just as an example.
Nitay Eshed you can't say it's ugly
iv been saying this all this time but this is the channel for the apple fans...
Madame Reader why do you assume that? He reviews products other then apple ones too you know.
If usb-c is future then Apple should give the adapters/dongle for 50% or for free before they get useless
Fantastic review and unboxing of the new 15 inch MacBook Pro Detroitborg. Keep up the good work. 😊
Finally, a proper and thorough review!! Thank you and job well done.
I'm buying this friday
It's my birthday soon and I'm planning to get a MacBook which one should I get in still in school I have a lot of projects and my old laptop is not functional Help???? But I also like to play games fyi
Iris Zhao get the base model MacBook Pro or MacBook.
Which cpu do you recommend? 2,6 2,7 or 2,9 ghz?
For normal use stay with the 2.6, but if you do intensive tasks higher clockspeeds will save you a fair bit of time.
Christoph Hazy higher is better
Alexandre Chiu but more expensive. Do you think the 2,9 is worth the extra money?
Depends on what you are gonna use it for like the other guy said
Always enjoy your reviews. Find them informative and concise. However, would like it if you showed viable alternatives at the end. Possibly a price comparison too.
Thanks for all of the detail and information. I'm deciding to whether or not buy a MacBook Pro for my college, and this video really came in handy.
