Furthermore, it's going to have a USB Type-C port and will be powered the Intel Skylake processor, meaning this new Macbook Air model will boast better graphics quality and at the same time have more RAM support. Additionally, this device will reportedly use a Retina display as well as Force Touch, which includes a Touch ID.

Along with this latest Macbook Air, the MacBook Pro is also rumored to be revealed at the WWDC. It's been reported that this MacBook Pro 2016 will also have a lighter and thinner body as part of its redesign. What's more is that it has a resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels because of its OLED display as well as a touch bar above the keyboard.

Also, it's speculated for the Butterfly key mechanism to make a comeback. It might also come with a force-sensitive keyboard instead of physical keys. The key layout will be lighted, and it will sport micro-perforations, which will ensure that the fingers will be placed on the correct part of the device.

With all this excitement for the MacBook Pro 2016, some rumors already state that the Macbook Air will soon be phased out. According to the University Herald, the Macbook Pro will become the top device in Apple while the MacBook will become a budget option instead. However, this is just a speculation, regardless of its feasibility.
