Apple MacBook Pro 2016 release date, news & update: Company may be finalising software for an October release

Apple won the world in September with the launch of iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2. Now, reports suggest the Apple MacBook Pro 2016 will be arriving in the second half of October.

Last time the company introduced a MacBook Pro was back in 2012. Apple had then introduced the Retina Display to the 15-inch MacBook Pro. A 13-inch variant was also introduced. Apple had redesigned the entire casing and also removed the disk drive from the machine.

According to Gizmodo India, Apple is ready with the MacBook Pro 2016 and it’s going to be an amazing device. If rumours are to be believed, the Cupertino-based company is developing a second screen on the MacBook Pro 2016. It is a touch-sensitive OLED Display that is capable of being customised as per user’s requirements.

“The machines could debut as soon as October, and based on upcoming software release plans for macOS 10.12.1, Apple is aiming to finalize the software with features for the new MacBook Pros on October 7, suggesting a late October launch for the new machines,” reports MacRumors.

In 2015, Apple updated its previous generation MacBooks and now it has been reported that the company is finetuning the MacOS so that it can run with the newly added hardware. It’s been quite some time since Apple introduced anything drastic to its MacBook line.

Fans who have been bored ever since, are now eagerly expecting the revamped MacBook Pro 2016. The function keys will be replaced by the OLED touch-sensitive screen. Users can customise it with quick access features and shortcuts.

The MacBook Pro 2016 may be also released in the 13 and 15-inch variants though it will be a lot slimmer than its predecessors. USB Type-C charging port, fingerprint scanner and Apple’s Touch ID are also expected in the MacBook Pro 2016. Apple will use Intel’s latest processor to power-up the device.
