Apple’s products have almost always given issues to users, especially new products that just got launched by Apple, and the new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt is no exemption. Yes, the issue this time is caused by the brand new Thunderbolt port itself. The Thunderbolt port is a new I/O port that’s nearly three times faster than the USB 3.0, and can also act as a DisplayPort, and that’s where the problems lies. A small number of new owners of the MacBook Pro that hook up their new machines to their Apple Cinema Displays are seeing random flicker on both 24-inch and 27-inch Cinema Displays when connected via their Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt combo port. Some also confirmed that even replacement machines from Apple are exhibiting the same behavior, though this is said to be “not a widespread issue” by Apple. Hopefully Apple is able to release a firmware fix for this bug timely.
