Much anticipated Apple event "Let Us Loop You In" came and passed without the next line of MacBook products seeing the light of day.

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 2016 variants were not present at the Apple March 21 event. However, the Apple fans shouldn't give up hope just yet. According to the previous rumor mills, MacBook line of products will most likely be launched at the World Developers Conference, called WWDC, scheduled for June this year. This is also when the fans can expect unveiling of the Pro iteration as well.

The fans are recommended to take this one at the face value as the same rumor justified a March 21 release. It is better advised to consider it as a tentative launch date until official news is out.

Meanwhile, the world is still taking in the smaller iPhone called iPhone SE that was launched officially at the event. The reports tell that the new flagship iPhone is a hybrid of 5s and 6s. iPhone SE has a design of its 4-inch counterpart, 5s and the under the hood, it resembles iPhone 6s. The new phone has all the features of an upgraded iPhone, minus the 3D touch.

Another product to add to the Apple lineup was the iPad Pro, 9.7-inch variant, that was revealed at the event. If reports are to be believed, the new iPad is actually a relegated version of its predecessor, 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, also disclosed new bands for the Apple Watch, fitness wearable technology. However, no new iteration for the watch has been announced yet. But the rumors in the past indicate that the tech giant may release an upgrade for its watch in September.
