New Macbook Pro: October 2016 release, features and rumored specs

Everybody has been talking about the recent Apple release that revealed iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch 2. Since it was not mentioned on the launch, fans are wondering about the Macbook Pro 2016 - when it is going to be released and what new specs can be expected with it.

It is quite some time now since Apple's Macbook Pro has not been updated. Possible buyers have been hoping to hear about it at the Sep. 7 Apple event, but no sign of any Mac announcements have been heard.

An update to Apple's Mac is surely to happen but the question is when.

According to Science World Report, some tech analysts believe that the delay in the announcement could possibly mean better features. However, it has been reported that the announcement of the highly anticipated Macbook Pro would be expected on October 2016 as Apple has announced that the new operating system is coming this month.

Reports suggest that Apple's latest Macbook is expected to be thinner and will feature an OLED-based touchscreen panel which will replace the standard key functions. The product is also expected to feature the 3.5 mm audio jack similar to that of the iPhone 7.

It is also reported that the new Macbook will have wireless headphones and users can reportedly log in to their laptop with their fingerprints because the machine is expected to have a Touch ID.

Other reports have been suggesting that the new hardware will feature hinges produced using a mechanism called 'metal injection molding'. Said to be inspired by Microsoft's Surface Pro line of devices, the hinges are apparently being manufactured by Ampenol, who makes hinges for Microsoft's convertible tablet.

However, Apple has yet to confirm these speculations and consumers have just been waiting as of this moment.
