As older MacBook Pro models are slowly being pulled out of Power Mac stores around the United States, rumors of a new version of the MacBook coming into stores is stronger than ever. The gradual disappearance of older MacBook Pro models from shelves has been confirmed by personal visits to some Apple stores in the U.S.
Just last week, non-Retina MacBook Pro laptops have been reportedly pulled out of Austin, Texas stores, according to Ecumenical News.
The newest version of the MacBook Pro will possibly be pre-programmed with the latest MacBook OS OS X, which was confirmed by Apple heads in the recently executed Worldwide Developers Conference. As part of the upgrade of operating systems, the newest MacBook may also features an OLED touch panel and a TouchID fingerprint sensor, a sensor which was only previously available in iPhone products.
According to the Parent Herald, the newest MacBook Pro may also feature a touchscreen, competing with Window-based laptops that offer the same feature. The MacBook Pro 2016 may also be available in two different sizes - tech-savvy geeks can purchase the new laptop either as a 13-inch or 15-inch computer. The newest MacBook model is slated to be released before the end of the year, which would make the gadget an ideal gift for those who desire the newest MacBook Pro.
Added to this, according to the same publication, the MacBook Pro 2016 may be a "game changer" in today's technology. The newest laptop model will reportedly run on "the latest AMD's Radeon RX 400 series graphics chips, Cellular 46 connectivity and 4k display." Although these details have yet to be confirmed by Apple, tech-savvy individuals are curious and hopeful that this is true.
The year 2016 may also be the year Apple users say goodbye to earphone jacks, as the newest MacBook Pro 2016 will reportedly have none of that anymore. Due to the absence of a jack, MacBook users will need to purchase new Apple Earpods for $29.00, earphones that use a Lightning-to-Audio technology which makes wireless music listening possible.
