The MacBook Pro 2016 is about to be launched by Cupertino tech giant Apple in their upcoming "Hello Again" October event. Interestingly, a couple of days just before the laptop's official launch, a photo of the new feature of the highly awaited MacBook Pro 2016 was leaked by Apple when it released the latest update to the MacOS Sierra.

When Apple released their latest operating system — the MacOS Sierra 10.12.1 update — sharp-eyed users noticed a hidden image shown in Apple Pay. The image shows what seems to be the MacBook Pro 2016 with a new OLED touch panel feature.

Because of the recently leaked image, speculations suggest that the new OLED touch panel feature shown in the photo will be called the "Magic Toolbar."  The Magic Toolbar is located just above the laptop's keyboard where the function keys are normally placed.

It is rumored that the new OLED touch panel feature will have changing buttons depending on the laptop's current display. The new OLED touch panel might be able to include playback controls for media applications, editing commands for office programs, and Touch ID for Apple Pay.

Other features of the MacBook Pro 2016 include a new fingerprint scanner for Apple Pay and a 13-inch Retina display.

The laptop is also said to have the option to include an AMD graphics card that will be powered by Intel's Skylake processor.

The new MacBook Pro 2016 will also allegedly follow the footsteps of the recently released iPhone 7 by ditching the 3.5mm analog audio jack.

In the meantime, fans would have to wait until the Cupertino tech giant's "Hello Again" event that is scheduled on Oct. 27 to hear more about the MacBook Pro 2016. The event will start at 1 p.m. EDT.

Only then will Apple fans be able to confirm whether the MacBook Pro 2016 will have the highly-speculated Magic Toolbar.
