Here is the updated information about Thunderbolt ports and displays. I understand you are wanting to know if the new MacBook Pro released yesterday will be able to connect to a Cinema Display with a Mini DisplayPort. ![]() ![]() They say they value pro users and pro equipment, but we can only judge them by their actions… They were a major driver of the spec in the first place.Īnyone have any good ideas on how to make this connection without buying a $300 Thunderbolt 3 dock? $300 is almost what I paid for the MonoPrice display and probably the max the 2010 Apple Cinema Display is worth. I can't really understand why Apple's left DisplayPort out of its Thunderbolt 3 plans. I also used the same Mac and adapter with Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link Adapter and also failed, plugged into a Monoprice IPS Zero G display.ĭear Apple: it would be super useful to state on your site that the adapter cannot handle Mini DisplayPort, even though the Thunderbolt spec supports it and Thunderbolt 2 is plug-compatible with it! As the support article says, (buried in there) it won't work. I plugged that same 2010 Mini DisplayPort Cinema Display into a Thunderbolt 2 > Thunderbolt 3 adapter, and then into the new MBP. I can post a little about my experience on this same topic, as today I've been very disappointed with plugging displays into a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports) with zero success.
