Apple introduced new MacBook Pro models at an event last week. The 13-inch and 15-inch models with Touch Bar has four Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) ports and the entry-level 13-inch model without Touch Bar has two of these ports. Since these don’t have a HDMI or USB Type-A ports, you need a separate hub even for charging Apple devices.
Sanho Corporation, creator of the HYPER line of Apple and mobile accessories has introduced HyperDrive USB Type-C Hub with 4K HDMI support, which allows the USB Type-C enabled 2016 MacBook Pro and 12-inch MacBook to connect to HDMI displays as well as work with USB 3.0 accessories.
