The latest MacBook Pro 2016 rumors suggested that several consumers have been disappointed with Apple.

What could have influenced this perception? Does it have something to do with the reports claiming that its release date will be delayed further?

Recently, a number of reports claimed that the new laptop from the American tech giant will not come until the early part of 2017. Brooke Crothers of Forbes pointed out that the MacBook Pro is "getting old" and that a 2016 upgrade seems to be very necessary.

"The design seems almost frozen in time at this point (Dell XPS instead, anyone?)," Crothers noted. "A comment under one of my recent posts expresses the sentiment of more than a few MacBook Pro enthusiasts."

One reader even commented that "Apple needs to release updated MBP, and SOON!!...Really tired of waiting, about to do the move to a win 10 laptop."

Considering this scenario, will Apple finally unveil its new MacBook Pro model anytime soon?

Honestly, no one has a definite answer yet. However, the tech contributor of the news outlet has remained firm in saying that there is a possibility that it would be available before this year ends.

Amid the absence of any release date announcements from Apple, the MacBook Pro 2016 rumors from Forbes stated that its internals will be something that consumers can look forward to.

It was noted that the upcoming device will come with AMD's Polaris 11 graphics silicon, which will make it thinner yet "still deliver a high-performance MacBook."

In the meantime, Dan Ackerman of CNET has hinted that Apple takes longer time to update its products. He cited that until now, the company is still selling its lone non-retina-display 13-inch MacBook Pro which has a DVD drive, a feature that can no longer be seen in units from the competitors.

Keep posted for more MacBook Pro 2016 rumors and updates.
