Although 11-inch variant will be discontinued, the company will make sure that the MacBook Air successors will be thinner and lighter compared to its predecessors. In addition, the new MakBook Air 2016 will feature longer battery life for extended use, and the same goes for Apple's other laptop line - MacBook Pro 2016.

Apple has yet to comment whether rumors surrounding MacBook Air 2016 has a possibility to materialize.
