The new MacBook Pro does not stop to stimulate controversy since its presentation last October 27. Apple users are livid by the disappearance of the USB ports traditional, to be replaced by a 2-to 4-port USB Type-C. And photographers by the removal of the port SD. But, surprise, another problem has just been updated : connectors for Apple may not work with all Thunderbolt devices 3 ! It is in any case the bitter observation made by the device vendor Plugable.com with two adapters, the first to get two ports DisplayPort and the second for two HDMI ports.
Not compatible with the USB Type-C first generation
connectors Apple operate in the USB 3.1 Gen2 (data rates up to 10 Gbit/s), but especially in the mode Thunderbolt 3 (transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, video output HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2). In short, real ports, ” multi-function “. But according to the site of Plugable, the new MacBook Pro does not work with the circuit Texas Instruments USB Type-C (first generation TPS65982) and require that the devices on board the circuit of a second generation (TPS65983). Note that this circuit does not control the Thunderbolt interface 3 which is managed by a circuit Intel Alpine Ridge. Thus, the two devices are automatically disabled by Mac OS X.
No solution provided by Apple
For the moment, Apple boot key. “While we have no comment to make on the specific complaint of Plugable products using the new sets of components Thunderbolt, with updated drivers, will have no difficulty to connect to any MacBook Pro 2016,” said the firm in the site AppleInsider.
It is difficult to know if the circuit from Texas Instruments is used in a lot of devices and for now only Plugable has manifested. Hoping that Apple can resolve the issue by a simple update …
