Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.
16" MacBook Pro Now Available
Apple's $1,199 Blackmagic eGPU Pro Now Available for Purchase, Delivers Mid-January
Apple's new Blackmagic eGPU Pro, first introduced alongside the Mac mini and MacBook Air in late October, can now be purchased from the online Apple Store.
Orders placed today for the $1,199 new eGPU are set to be delivered from January 15 to January 23. It's not known how much stock Apple has available, so those delivery times could slip after the first orders are placed.
The Blackmagic eGPU Pro features a Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics processor with 8GB HBM2 memory, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, four USB 3 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, a DisplayPort 1.4 port, and 85W of power delivery, enough to power the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
Like the prior non-Pro Blackmagic eGPU, the new version features an all-in-one aluminum enclosure. All of Apple's Thunderbolt 3-enabled Macs, including the Mac mini, the MacBook Air, and the MacBook Pro, work with the Blackmagic eGPU Pro.
When the eGPU was announced, Apple originally said it would be released in late November, but Apple later updated the product page to note that it wouldn't be released until December. Apple hit the December deadline, but deliveries won't begin until 2019.

Only an $800 premium on top of the card by itself. That's... neat? The reasons to switch over to PCs for creative content production keep piling up.

It is at least something for pros. Luckily BlackMagic are hardware geniuses.
But why am I still running 2010 Mac Pros just so that we can use nVidia cards is beyond crazy. Apple just seems lost when it comes to the people who make content - it is as if they are fighting against us.
The rotting, festering ecosystem that is Apple.
And no Tim, we can't run a render farm on an Apple Watch or a HomePod.
We can, of course, use a sad emoji to express how we feel you are treating Pros. :(

I hate to be that guy, but this thing is heavily overpriced. It's best to wait a bit more and wait for a DIY solution, which might not look that "pretty" (to me it looks like a US-fridge) but comes in way cheaper and justifies this whole eGPU thing.
As Steve Jobs analyzed correctly on why Apple failed in the 90's (they went for profit rather than market share), they could really win the game if they offered an affordable Apple-branded eGPU-case. Instead they are selling bent iPads and unrepairable computers for a premium, and it will bite them. I'd love to be optimistic about this, but this is the reality right now.

Unless you love being ripped off, don’t buy this. It’s an absolute joke and just shows how little Apple care about its customers.

Sweet, I really like paying nearly three times as much for the same graphics card! </sarcasm>
Sure its in an external box, thats like $100 - $200 more at most. Is this the new norm now that Apple has given up putting quality graphics (or any part really) in their machines? This is the worst time line!

What a great deal! I’m so happy that the MBP is available without discreet graphics so I can justify external graphics.

Those who need powerful GPUs have left for PC years ago. It's too little too late for Apple here. But at least it comes at an impressive premium price.

If I didn't know this was an eGPU, you could have told me this was an entire PC and I wouldn't question it[ Read All Comments ]
