RE: Thunderbolt 3 in new Apple products


First, this problem appears to be specific to Thunderbolt 3 peripherals. If you have a Thunderbolt 2 device plugged into a Thunderbolt 3 port via an adapter, it seems to work fine. That limits the amount of hardware likely to be incompatible, since not that many Thunderbolt 3 peripherals have been built yet.

How many people are going to be harmed by this? Probably not very many. Thunderbolt 3 is new, the MacBook Pro is new, and new hardware variants will adopt the 983 chip.

So a few early Thunderbolt 3 peripherals appear to be affected. That's about it. How many audiophiles have early Thunderbolt 3 devices AND own a brand new MacBook Pro?
