Technology enthusiasts waiting for the release of Apple's Mac book 2016 due for a release this year may have to wait a little longer until early next year, as Apple is concentrating more on its iPad Pro.

However, no substantial information is available about this new iPad pro, analysts believe that Apple wants to develop a larger Tablet.

The Macbook Air and Pro 2016 will now have the same release date as Apple TV and iMac early next year.

A Taiwanese publication, Economic Daily reports, that this year Apple may not release iPod Air 3, as remains more focused on the larger Tablet iPad Pro. This is to ease the pressure of "Foxconn" Apple's official parts manufacturing partner, who also has the responsibility of developing the 12.9-inch iPad-Pro, as well!

Rumors about the new iPad pro revels that the products will have a display larger than 11 inches, some put this at 12.9 inches, though, will run on Skylake processor from Intel, will feature Force Touch Technology, OS EL X Captain, and comes with a longer and better battery life!

The 12.9-Inch larger tablet was due for a release September 2015, but the supply chain issues have caused a delay, in addition, Apple was busy with the production of iPhone 6 Plus, causing a further delay in the release of this purported larger tablet.

Experts believe that Apple will be targeting enterprise market for these new iPads, and therefore has designed and developed the device with great care. The new device will have a sporty look with an Ultra High resolution display, and offers stereo speakers at both the top and bottom of the equipment. Insiders also say that, the device will also come with an optional stylus.
