Earlier this month, days before the Conference for developers, analysts began to assert that the Cupertino-based company could present at the opening of the keynote, the new MacBook Pro models with screen OLED Keyboard in addition to the new range of Thunderbolt Display with a 5 k resolution and integrated graphics.
But came the day of the keynote and the only thing that we saw during the entire presentation software, software and more software was nothing hardware as expected. But apparently the company plans do not pass through renew these devices. In fact, just confirm that you have stopped making them.
As confirmed the company in a statement to several media and in reference to Thunderbolt monitors, the company claims that it has discontinued this type of devices but will remain on sale at the physical web, Apple Store online and in the different resellers until are unitless. The company claims that makes no sense continue making a monitor for the Mac with all the existing models in the market of third-party monitors that offer more than satisfactory results for the majority of Mac users.
We are leaving the Thunderbolt Display manufacture. It will be available in the stores, online, and authorized resellers while we have stock. Currently on the market there are a large number of commercially available third-party monitors, very valid options for Mac users.
Thunderbolt monitors have always been widely criticized for having outdated features, and the excessive price since no longer updated since 2011. The resolution offered is 2560 x 1440 while the current iMac with resolution 5 k includes a full computer for $800 more.
