Apple fans and customers have been waiting for its new laptops. MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016 have been in talks since the first quarter of the year. Unfortunately, Apple remains mum on the details of the anticipated MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.
According to Neurogadget, the anticipated MacBook Pro 2016 will be redesigned. It will be slimmer and lighter. In addition, it will sport impressive features, including Siri and 4G LTE connectivity.
Siri is one of the features that Apple fans are yearning to see in the next flagship laptop. This AI serves as the user's personal assistant. It can navigate, search, call or send email for you. Siri is already part of Apple's IOS, watchOS and tvOS operating system and there are rumors that MacBook Pro 2016 will include this feature too.
Meanwhile, the LTE connectivity is another feature to watch out for. With this, MacBook Pro will be the first laptop to offer mobile connectivity. Hence, users need not connect to WiFi to go online.
Unfortunately, other sources claimed that the OLED bar and LTE feature for MacBook Pro are unlikely. Sources close to Apple said that OLED bar is impossible and just laugh about it. Meanwhile, the LTE might not be available at the time because it will fragment iPhone's data and tethering connectivity.
On a side note, many are concerned about MacBook Air 2016 due to the lack of updates about the upcoming notebook. Parent Herald previously debunked reports suggesting that Air will be axed. The report has learned that Air will continue but might not get an upgrade.
However, per VineReport, MacBook Air 2016 is canceled after a series of subtle tweaks. The report stressed that Apple did minimal refinement to Air by adding a Broadwell processor, which might not impress many because the Skylake chipset was released shortly, which means the notebook could have been better. There are also rumors that Apple improved MacBook Air's resolution with Intel 6000 graphics processing unit.
However, perhaps, due to lack of interest for MacBook Air or over interest to MacBook Pro the company decided to cancel MacBook Air. But, Ecumenical News denied such claims and stressed that it is impossible for MacBook Pro to be as slim as the Air as it would mean sacrificing the hardware. In this way, users will get a less powerful laptop.
Are you hopeful that Apple will not cancel MacBook Air 2016? Do you agree that it is impossible to get a MacBook Pro 2016 that is thinner and lighter than Air? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016 are expected to arrive this November. Stay tuned for more MacBook Pro and MacBook Air updates.
