The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2016 (WWC) on June 3 is expected to see the announcement of the new MacBook Pro 2016. The company is said to be also preparing to release two new ultra-thin MacBook products in the second quarter of this year.
There are rumors that the 12-inch MacBook Air 2016 could hit the market this June as well. The 2016 MacBook Pro models are said to be slimmer than their predecessors, just like the MacBook Air. Apple is speculated to kill the MacBook Air brand and replace it with the ultra-thin MacBook Pro 2016 devices. The new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro 2016 variants are expected to cost about $1,500 and $2,800, respectively.

The MacBook Pro 2016 devices could be powered by a 6th gen Intel Skylake chipset, which is believed to enhance the laptop's battery performance to up to nine hours. Rumor has it that Apple will include an OLED display equipped with Retina Display technology and other key features such as Siri for Mac, a USB Type-C, dual band Wi-Fi ac and Touch ID fingerprint scanner.
The MacBook Pro 2016 variants are expected to sport Thunderbolt 3 which can transfer data with a speed of up to 40 GB per second. In terms of graphics, Apple could include support for an external graphics card so users can enjoy enhanced graphics without having to spend more money. Based on an Apple patent application, it is likely that the company could also introduce a new touch-screen keyboard to the MacBook Pro 2016, indicating a force-sensitive input structure which includes a customizable trackpad and keyboard.
