Today if, tomorrow, this isn’t the never ending story. The saga of the Thunderbolt monitors seems that it will extend for some time. Days before the keynote several rumors claimed that the company had intended to introduce new models of Thunderbolt Display with resolution 5 k and Integrated GPU. But hours before launch conference another rumor stated that the company was not working on new models of this veteran monitor with more than five years on the market. Yesterday, the company confirmed to several media that Apple had discontinued these monitors Thunderbolt and that only they would continue selling until they would come in stock in physical stores, online, and authorized resellers.
In the same statement, the company signs letting update this product on the market we can find a large number of device of its kind at a cheaper price and with a better performance than the models that the company still selling, because what seemed to indicate that this product is not any preference for the company. But he has again jumped the rumor about the possible arrival to the market of a new Thunderbolt with Integrated GPU, but without resolution 5 k. This new rumor has been published on BuzzFeed, stating that you can not talk about sources that have provided information.
Thunderbolt Display with a graphics card integrated it would be able to work with almost any Mac, since it uses the monitor graphics for graphics tasks. It is believed that Apple has not entered yet a Thunderbolt monitor with resolution 5 k, similar to the iMac 5 k, because there is no Mac that can manage the resolution only with a power cable which also carry data, a fact that will remain so even in the new MacBook Pro Retina Skylake-processor.
