Both the MacBook Pro 2016 and the MacBook Air are coming this October. This is according to the latest projection from HIS Markit Technology.
Forbes has been keeping tabs on the development of the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016 and if there is a possibility for an updated MacBook Air. Rhoda Alexander, Director Tablet and Notebook PCs at IHS Markit Technology admitted that both the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2016 and 13.3-inch MacBook Air have already started production during the second quarter of the year.
Alexander also predicted that MacBook Pro 2016 is more likely to be released in late September or October. Since September has already passed, so it is more likely that the launch will happen in October. Reports have also indicated that the MacBook Pro 2016 together with the MacBook Pro Air would be released on October 24.
About its processor, it is unlikely that the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016 would have the upcoming Kaby Lake from Intel. However, it is certain that the upcoming laptop will carry Skylake processors.
Bloomberg even reported that October will be very busy for Apple since the tech behemoth will be updating its iPad that caters to professional users while the MacBook Pro 2016, MacBook Air and a new iMac will be expected in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Some of the known features of the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016 includes the OLED display, USB-C ports and Touch ID fingerprint identity sensors. It will also contain a smaller footprint than its other models and will be thinner than its old model and its casing will also have shallow curves around the edges.
While there is no confirmation yet on whether October 24 will really be the official release date of both the MacBook Pro 2016 and the updated MacBook Air and even the iMac. But it is certain as most reliable news sites have been informing Apple's consumers that these products from Apple will really be coming.
