MacBook Pro 2016 it will be smaller and thinner than the current model sold by the Apple company, but it will not have a shape similar to that of the MacBook Air or MacBook 12 inches, so it will have a distinct design, Apple will also implement a larger trackpad wider than the one used in current models.
MacBook Pro 2016 it is in an advanced stage of development before the official launch, but it will be available only after the iPhone 7 is launched, so it will probably come in October or November, and as far as the new functions are concerned, everything seems to confirm the multitude of rumors appeared in recent months.
MacBook Pro 2016 will also have a OLED screen that will replace the upper part of the keyboard, the respective keys that controlled a variety of functions of the operating system OS X, or macOS, to be replaced by a touch screen that, most likely, will be able to be configured to control not only iTunes, but also other functions and applications of the operating system.
Instead of physical keys, a strip-like screen will present functions on an as-needed basis that fit the current task or application. The panel will theoretically display media playback controls when iTunes is open, while it could display editing commands like cut and paste during word processing tasks, the people said. The display also allows Apple to add new buttons via software updates rather than through more expensive, slower hardware refreshes.
Moreover, Apple will be able to update macOS to add or remove virtual buttons for that screen, but there will certainly be software that will allow us to do this independently of what Apple wants.
Touch ID, OLED screen and a new color
MacBook Pro 2016 will also have USB-C ports, but for now it is not known exactly how many will be included, but the implementation of Touch ID is again confirmed, the power button will be the one where the fingerprint reader will be included that will provide this functionality.
Basically, users will press the Power button and turn on the Mac, but they will still basically log into the operating system, and the use of the new technology will allow Apple to also offer the possibility of using Apple Pay to make online payments directly from your Mac.
In terms of hardware, we will definitely have Intel processors, but Apple intends to use AMD Polaris graphics cards as well, as they are thin and consume little energy to work, so they will not affect battery autonomy, on the contrary, could increase it.
It's unclear which provider Apple will use for the main processor, but Intel Corp. has supplied this in the past. Apple is using one of AMD's "Polaris" graphics chips because the design offers the power efficiency and thinness necessary to fit inside the slimmer Apple notebook, the person said. The new graphics card is more than 20 percent thinner than its predecessor, AMD said earlier this year.
Finally, it seems that the MacBook Pro 2016 will also be available in a new color, separate from the gray, gold and silver ones, so we are probably talking about a "space" black, which will be in tune with the same color used for the case iPhone 7, so Apple will have symmetry for its products.
Apple could organize a conference at the end of October to present the MacBook Pro 2016 along with possible models of the iPad Pro, the launch of all of them could take place in November.
