Fans should expect to see new MacBooks before WWDC, slated for June.

The Cupertino-based tech giant, Apple, kept mum on details of the spring event that occurred on March 21, Monday. As a result, rumor mills continued to speculate that the event may include the release of the much-anticipated laptops, MacBook Air 2016 and MacBook Pro 2016.

The big day left many disillusioned when the powerful laptops were nowhere to be seen. Apple failed to introduce the two MacBooks in their recently concluded event and instead, introduced a new iPhone SE and a 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

Users who are expecting to purchase the latest MacBook Pro and MacBook Air have to wait longer, according to Heavy. The two MacBooks may be unveiled during the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which is slated for June.

The biggest news during the March 21 event was the unveiling of the smaller iPhone SE. The company will be celebrating its 40th anniversary on April 1, although based on their recent event, there is no certainty that Apple is planning for big surprises as the New Year begins.

Introducing MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016 could have been the best news for avid fans. However, as opposed to the new laptops, according to Mashable, the elephant in the room is the company's legal fight with the FBI concerning the creation of software to crack the gunman's security after he killed 14 people in San Bernardino.

Apart from this, the March 21 event went on with a less bang and some reviews claimed that the products that the Cupertino-based tech giant launched were not very interesting. The event was focused on how the tech giant presents new products amid a fierce battle concerning security, privacy, and public policy.

Since MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 2016 were absent on Monday, fans should wait for Apple's upcoming event, scheduled for June. It is likely that the two laptops will be announced before WWDC.
