Along with the debut of the 16-inch MacBook Pro, Apple SVP Phil Schiller shared more about designing the scissor switch Magic Keyboard for the notebook, how pros’ top request was to have a physical escape key, and more in an interview with CNET. YouTuber Jonathan Morrison was also able to sit down with Schiller and dive into some questions including the new thermal system, six-speaker setup, and even whether Apple will ever bring back the SD card reader to the MacBook Pro.
Jonathan covered a range of topics with Phil Schiller but one of the more interesting moments was when he asked, “Do you think there’s ever a chance that the SD card slot makes a comeback?”
Schiller replied:
When asked about the new six-speaker system that works with Dolby Atmos, Schiller said:
Another interesting aspect of this interview, the entire thing was recorded with the new mics on the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Jonathan also asked about Apple coming in with a starting price point around $600 lower than expectations.
To end the interview, Schiller spoke about Apple’s commitment not only to pros around Macs but also to Macs overall.
