MacBook Pro 2016 rumors claim that it will come with a USB Type-C port and a Thunderbolt 3 function to make data transfer faster. Other reports suggest that the new laptop will be sporting an Intel Kaby Lake processor, including an option of 8GB or 16GB of  RAM. Also, the SD options will be 512GB, 1TB, 128GB and 256GB.

MacBook Pro 2016 is reported to be unveiled in 2017, including the new variant of iPad Mini 5. Based on reports, however, Apple may discontinue the iPad Mini variant.

The powerful MacBook Pro 2016 is likely to be rolled out also in other special event in October. According to reports, Apple may hold an event to show off the slimmer device with Touch ID and OLED touchscreen panel.

Although the tablet variants may be launched in March next year, reports indicate that significant upgrades may likely arrive in 2018. This means that the rumors regarding Apple's plan to adjust the screen size and boost the storage base next year could be possible.

MacBook Pro 2016 is believed to come in two sizes, a 13-inch unit and a 15-inch unit. The 15-inch model is rumored to cost $1,100, while the 13-inch model is likely to be offered at $980, Yibada reported.

Meanwhile, despite the rumors on the MacBook Pro 2016 release, Apple has to give solid information about the development of the new laptop. According to reports, the company has recently experienced a drop in Mac shipments that tech observers believe was due to the delay of the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016.

With only 4.4 million PCs being shipped in the second quarter this year, shipment has evidently dropped from its 4.8 million units that were shipped in the same quarter of 2015. While MacBook Pro 2016 fans hold off for its upcoming release, reports claim that the delay in the launching may impact the company sales even more, Game & Guide reported.
