Does this mean they're abandoning the thunderbolt port all together? As in, will stop making laptops/comps with thunderbolt? Or just that specific display?


Earlier this year, we reported that Apple was planning a new Thunderbolt Display with a built-in GPU and today the company has taken the first step towards making that a reality. According to TechCrunch, Apple has announced that it is officially discontinuing the Thunderbolt Display.


Thunderbolt 3 can piggy-back on USB-C port. I would guess they will use that configuration going forward.


Consumers are best to stick to commodity devices.


About time!
