Having already unloaded their most anticipated devices for this year, Apple may be ready to release the rest of their products before the year ends. The new iPhone 7 and the Apple Watch 2 are already selling in Apple Stores around the world, and now fans are clamoring for the company to finally release their latest MacBook Pro laptop to excited consumers.
Several reports have now claimed that the 2016 Apple MacBook Pro laptop could be coming out at the end of the month, more specifically on Oct. 24. The predicted date is based on the previous MacBook Pro release dates in the past, which have all been roughly around the last week of October. The particular date also makes good business sense as it will be just in time for the holiday season.
Along with the new MacBook Pro, the company is also expected to release several other products, which reportedly includes the new 13-inch MacBook Air and a new 5K display iMac computer.
As for the rumored specs and features of the 2016 MacBook Pro, the laptop is expected to sport a brand new OLED touchscreen strip that will be replacing the keyboard's function keys. The panel will reportedly morph into different buttons and keys depending on the app or program that is being used. This would likely translate to an increased efficiency and convenience for professionals using the new MacBook Pro.
The laptop is also rumored to be coming with the company's own Touch ID system which will allow users to authenticate apps and use Apple Pay. The new system is, of course, integrated into the laptop's expected operating system, the new Apple MacOS Sierra.
Hardware-wise, the laptop is expected to be coming with some upgraded internals, which might include an AMD Polaris-based GPU installed on-board the device. The addition of the powerful graphics card will definitely be an improvement over the MacBook's predecessor as it will allow for faster and smoother operation while editing or gaming.
