If rumors are to be believed, Apple is expected to unveil MacBook Pro 2016 during the fall season with several new upgrades and features such as Touch ID and OLED touch bar. The device didn’t get any serious refreshes for quite some time. Moreover, Apple is not willing to delay the upgrade since its competitors have already released new devices. According to BGR, the forthcoming MacBook Pro 2016 will arrive this fall and will be thinner and lighter than the previous counterparts. Earlier, there were rumors that the new notebook will be thinner and lighter than MacBook Air.

Recently, a popular tech portal revealed that the OLED touch bar will be placed above the keyboard. Moreover, you will be able to access the feature keys with simplicity. However, the complete specifications of the feature bar hasn’t yet revealed by any sources. We expect that it should contain function keys and audio controls including notifications.
In the meantime, the Touch ID which will find a place in MacBook Pro 2016 will have the main power button. Even though the Touch ID is not a big step, it would be a welcome change for tech lovers who are bored by using standard controls.
