It runs on Intel Iris Pro graphics. MacBook Pro 2015 sports three USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports and HDMI port and the 3.5mm headphone slot. This was the last MacBook with different kinds of Ports. With 2016 models, Apple just went for Type-C USB ports.
The immediate successor of 2015 MacBook Pro, the MacBook Pro 2016 also sports a 15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Retina display with 2,880 x 1,800 pixels resolution. It runs the sixth generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor under the hood, clocked 2.6GHz, 2.7GHz, or 2.9GHz and Turbo boost option of 3.8Ghz. It can support Intel HD Graphics 530 or AMD’s Radeon Pro 450, 455, or 460 graphics as an upgrade over its predecessor.

Apple’s updated 15-inch MacBook Pro packs a 6-core 8th-generation Intel core processor, up to 4TB SSD storage and up to 32GB RAM with Radeon Pro graphics.
Apple’s latest 13-inch MacBook Pro carries within a quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core and Intel Iris Plus integrated graphics 655. It offers an option of up to 2TB of SSD storage.
