The following Mac models are equipped with Thunderbolt 3: Thunderbolt 3 uses USB-C connectors at each end of the cable. Thunderbolt 3 also supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectivity at up to 10 Gbps. It offers faster speeds than Thunderbolt 2-up to 40Gbps with a Thunderbolt 3-compatible cable. Thunderbolt 3 combines data transfer, video output, and charging capabilities in a single, compact connector. Thunderbolt 3 is an I/O technology that connects devices to your computer at speeds up to 40 Gbps. Here is the updated information about Thunderbolt ports and displays. I understand you are wanting to know if the new MacBook Pro released yesterday will be able to connect to a Cinema Display with a Mini DisplayPort. They say they value pro users and pro equipment, but we can only judge them by their actions…

They were a major driver of the spec in the first place.Īnyone have any good ideas on how to make this connection without buying a $300 Thunderbolt 3 dock? $300 is almost what I paid for the MonoPrice display and probably the max the 2010 Apple Cinema Display is worth.

I can't really understand why Apple's left DisplayPort out of its Thunderbolt 3 plans. I also used the same Mac and adapter with Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link Adapter and also failed, plugged into a Monoprice IPS Zero G display.ĭear Apple: it would be super useful to state on your site that the adapter cannot handle Mini DisplayPort, even though the Thunderbolt spec supports it and Thunderbolt 2 is plug-compatible with it! As the support article says, (buried in there) it won't work. I plugged that same 2010 Mini DisplayPort Cinema Display into a Thunderbolt 2 > Thunderbolt 3 adapter, and then into the new MBP. How many you need depends on your work flow, but if you are not surrounded by USB Type-C accessories and peripherals, chances are you need one for each device you plan to connect to it.I can post a little about my experience on this same topic, as today I've been very disappointed with plugging displays into a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports) with zero success.

If the thought of lower dongle prices may have lead you to reconsider buying a 2016 MacBook Pro, keep in mind that if you go this route you will have to carry all of the dongles you need with you. The Verge says that prices on third-party USB Type-C accessories are roughly 25 percent lower on average.īut, what if you already bought some dongles? The good news is that Apple will automatically credit you the difference, so you will not have to go through any hassles because of this price cut. Again, that should be well received by prospective buyers, especially considering that the discounts are quite substantial. This move affects not only Apple's own accessories but also third-party ones too. A one-meter USB Type-C to Lightning dongle goes for $19, as opposed to $25 prior to this price change (the 2m version is $10 more expensive). For instance, a USB Type-C to USB Type-A dongle will only cost you $9 now, instead of $19. So, what sort of discounts can you expect to see? Well, it would seem that they range between $6 and $20, depending on the dongle. The top of the line model kicks off at $2,799 - and if you want all the hardware upgrades you will have to shell out $4,299. And one of them will be rendered useless while charging the device, because Apple dropped the MagSafe port on the new generation. The cheapest - better said, least expensive - model, the 13.3-inch version without the Touch Bar, starts at $1,499 - and it only has two USB Type-C ports. The latest MacBook Pros are expensive enough to begin with, after all, and you really shouldn't have to pay a lot more for dongles - or have to replace all your peripherals and accessories. This is a sensible move on Apple's part, which is sure to please some prospective buyers. Through the end of the year, we are reducing prices on all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals we sell, as well as the prices on Apple's USB-C adapters and cables", says Apple. We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem. "We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition.
