It has been quite some time since Apple updated its MacBook design, which is why we believe we will soon be hearing about the MacBook Pro in 2016, as it clearly seems to be imminent.
The Mac has been the centre of attention, as well as one of the best and most popular products from Apple.
Even though the previous one was laced with excellent features and specifications that took the market by storm, we think the new launch will be on the cards soon.
Here, we cover all the rumours about the MacBook Pro 2016 release date and specifications.
MacBook Pro 2016 Release Date
Even though the current model was announced and released in 2013, we haven’t had the good news about a new release yet. Apple was expected to announce the all-new MacBook Pro at WWDC 2016, which sadly turned out to be a software-only zone. It is rumoured that Apple will finalize the design of the MacBook Pro 2016 in the third quarter and announce the new design in the fourth quarter of 2016.
MacBook Pro 2016 Price
Analyzing the price of the previous design of the MacBook Pro, which was made available for USD 1100 (900 pounds) for the non-retina model of the smallest size, we think the same might cost around USD 1300 – USD 1400 for the new design, while the retina 15-inch model might sell for somewhere around 2500 pounds (2700-2800 USD) or more.
MacBook Pro Rumours In 2016
There are several rumours regarding the specifications and designs of the new, to-be-announced MacBook Pro. One of the most significant rumours is that Apple might be introducing a touch screen and a detachable keyboard with its new revolutionary design that would be better in performance and looks. And if that weren’t enough, some rumours suggest that the keyboard, too, might be touch screen! We, however, believe that Sierra hasn’t been optimized for touch screen until now, so this might be a false alarm.
E3 1200 V5 Xeon processors (Skylake) might be replacing the current processors in the MacBook Pro design. The V5 Skylake processors were launched in late 2015, making them the most appropriate choice for Apple’s upcoming MacBook Pro design. If the rumours are correct, the new MacBook Pro will have improved performance, graphics, and sustainability as well as better support for DDR4 along with more RAM capacity.
For the ports, it is rumoured that the new design might sport no fewer than ten ports and that Apple will be looking to update the usual Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt 3, which happens to be two times faster than USB 3.1 itself. We might also see Lightning ports being introduced to the MacBook Pro design. We hope that the rumours about bringing PCI slots come true to allow faster SSD and better video graphic and viewing cards.
Conclusion
One thing is for sure: The MacBook Pro 2016, like its predecessor, will deliver revolutionizing specifications and sturdiness for better performance in every aspect, including looks. Whether or not Apple gets a touch screen here, it will surely create a fine benchmark design for the world to appreciate.
