The MacBook Pro 2016 continues to be noticeably absent from Apple's current collection of announced products, and apparently, such will be the case for a little while longer.
The rumor mill has been all over the map when it comes to projecting a possible release date for the MacBook Pro 2016, with some having pegged it to launch earlier this year and some having indicated that it may be released this month.
Even with a lot of days still remaining in December, it would seem that Apple is not rushing to make any new announcements, and that could translate to the laptop not being ready to be released until well into next year.
According to Yibada, the most likely release date now for the laptop is sometime in June 2016, possibly right around Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event. This date is unconfirmed as of now, although it would seem to make a lot of sense for Apple to hold off on releasing the new laptop until they have a big enough platform to launch it properly.
Another interesting rumor surrounding the MacBook Pro 2016 suggests that no matter what eventual release date is attached to the laptop, it will still be launched alongside the MacBook Air 2016. It's unclear why Apple is reportedly set on launching the two laptops together.
As for the specs and features of the MacBook Pro 2016, one of the most persistent rumors suggests that the new laptop will have a 4K display upon being launched, according to MacWorld UK.
The MacBook Pro 2016 is also rumored to feature Force Touch technology along with the OS X El Capitan right out of the box. The upcoming laptop is also expected to have longer battery life.
More news about the MacBook Pro 2016 and its other specs and features are expected to be revealed within the next few months.
