           Apple Rolls Out Two Professional Mac Upgrades Before WWDC

   Josh Centers

   Just a week before WWDC, TechCrunch reports that Apple has rolled out
   [1]high-end upgrades for the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the 2019 Mac Pro:
     * The 16-inch MacBook Pro now has an additional high-end graphics
       option: the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, which is 75% faster than the
       former top-end Radeon Pro 5500M. You can add the Radeon Pro 5600M
       to the MacBook Pro when ordering for an additional $700.
     * Those who want more fast storage in a Mac Pro can now purchase
       do-it-yourself SSD upgrade modules for the Mac Pro in [2]1 TB
       ($600), [3]2 TB ($1000), [4]4 TB ($1600), and [5]8 TB ($2800)
       capacities.

   These upgrades are of interest only to a niche of niche professional
   users, but they're welcome for those who need them. It is surprising to
   see Apple start selling standalone upgrade parts, even for the modular
   Mac Pro.
