More details have come in regarding the upcoming MacBook Pro upgrade. According to some latest reports containing photos of the aluminum casing for the upcoming MacBook Pro, almost confirm about the speculation that the 2016 MacBook will indeed come with an OLED touchpad.

A close look at the casing above details a missing 'function' keys row at the top which is already being speculated to be taken care of by the new OLED touch bar. According to the same source, the touchpad seems to have a liplike system that slips into a smaller hole on the left side of the cutout to keep it in place, whereas the hole on the right hand side has three pins which likely connect the touchpad to the logic board underneath.

It is now being speculated that the OLED touchpad shall also be used for multiple functions apart from just showing the function keys. It shall be used to also display notifications and replace OS X's dock entirely or even add custom shortcut keys. This makes it a point to be noted about the possibilities that can be endless.There's another photo which also shows four USB Type-C ports, two on each side along with a headphone jack on the right hand side.

Recently, popular Apple-centric blog 9to5Mac in conjunction with their sources and Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable Apple analyst at KGI Securities, had reported that Apple was working on overhauling the MacBook Pro.Apple's WWDC conference will be held on 13 June and we may just get to see the redesigned 2016 MacBook Pro then. But according to Ming-Chi Kuo's report, the MacBook Pro may not launch until later this year.
