Ever since Apple CEO Tim Cook said "stay tuned" for Mac developments, the excitement in one of the most successful products of Apple has gathered momentum.

With Mac Rumors reporting on a highly possible update to the Mac Book Pro lineup this month, it seems that there is a chance that we would be seeing a new MacBook Pro 2016 within weeks.

Compared to the previous models, MacBook Pro 2016 is expected to be more powerful in specs and features. A thinner design is also anticipated for the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016.

Tech Radar reported that Apple is working on an update to the MacOS Sierra operating system, specifically tailoring it to the needs of the new MacBook Pro hardware. The new update could potentially new tools and capabilities to support new features of MacBook Machine.

The new MacBook Pro 2016 is anticipated to have a fingerprint sensor, Touch ID sensor, as well as organic light-emitting diode touch bar. The physical function keys present in the previous models is expected to be replaced by the OLED screen.  With Cupertino giant interested in supporting all abilities of Apple Pay, the Touch ID power button could also make a cut in the new device.

As Apple has suggested it is interested in extending Apple pencil support beyond iPad, we may perhaps see an improve Apple pencil for the new set of MacBook Pros. With the launch nearby, there could be improved screen resolution compared to earlier models, but a 4K/5K display screen seems distant for now.

The MacBook Pro 2016 is widely expected to feature sixth generation Sky Lake chips which would bring in massive improvements in terms of speed. The new MacBook Pro could make provisions once the Kaby Lake processors are available in the market.

For now, we believe that the new release of MacBook Pro would be locked into the Sky Lake design. However, there is a good possibility of seeing the latest "Polaris" graphic processors from AMD as well.MacBook Pro 2016 would be abandoning the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack as seen from iPhone7. An improved battery life is also in the cards.

It is possible that the new product will be launched in an event, later this month. With a sleek design, upgraded performance and battery life, MacBook Pro 2016 could continue its successful march. Stay tuned for more MacBook Pro updates.
