Rumor: Apple to release more affordable 13-inch Retina Display MacBook Pro in June

If you’re hankering for a somewhat more affordable 13-inch Retina Display MacBook, it ships in June.

Per the mighty DigiTimes, Apple will release a new 13.3-inch Retina Display MacBook with the same 2,560 x 1,600 resolution display as the current 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. The panel will come from LG Display.

This sounds similar to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s report that Apple has an update for the aging MacBook Air in the works. He says a refresh is coming along with a lower price point.

The rumor fits in with speculation that Apple will release the updated notebook in time for the annual Worldwide Developer Conference will run from June 4th through June 8th at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose.

Apple used WWDC last year to introduce the HomePod and iMac Pro, as well as announce updates to the Mac laptop and iMac lineups. The company could have plans to unveil a lower priced Retina MacBook that replaces the MacBook Air at the event.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
