MacBook Pro 2016 is rumored to include an OLED touch panel.

With the unveiling of the new macOS Sierra, the said operating system will be revamping the upcoming MacBook Pro both internally and externally. Several reports are pointing out the reason for Macbook Pro's no show last WWDC is in preparation of the said laptop to integrate with the new OS.

While many were disappointed that the Macbook Pro has not yet been revealed again in Apple's recently concluded WWDC event, others think the California-based company is up for something better to offer, possibly causing the "no show" of the much-awaited laptop.

Though the WWDC event is known as Apple's venue to conduct announcement for software upgrades and releases, many had their fingers crossed that the Macbook Pro will finally be launched at that time. Despite not being announced, another rumor started to surround the 2016 Macbook Pro when Apple announced the coming of a new operating system, macOS Sierra. A few of its possible features are already being hinted and unveiled one by one.

Just recently, the new OS is speculated to be revamping the old OS of previous Macbooks. It was even reported that Apple is planning to do a major Macbook Pro overhaul with the integration of macOS Sierra, 9 to 5 Mac reported.

Aside from the Touch ID support and the OLED touch bar which is presumed to replace the function keys, the macOS Sierra is hinted on bringing an LED Do Not Disturb button as suggested by several reports.

Currently, the Do Not Disturb function is accessible through Mac's notifications pane, but since the OLED touch bar is anticipated to come in the new line of Mac laptops, it is highly possible a separate button for the said feature will be present. Other new features which will be using the LED function include notifications for "Battery Low," "Call Pick Up," "Data Mode," "Headset," "Mute" and many others, Mac Generation reported.

As of the moment, all of these details have not been confirmed yet, so nothing is official yet. To get more an insight of the newly unveiled macOS Sierra, watch a preview of the video clip below.
