Rumors are rife that MacBook Air and Pro 2016 release is at Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) next month. Hints claimed that the upcoming laptops will pack Siri and Touch ID.
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 2016 rumored release date is next month. However, a recent report from DigiTimes said that Apple will ship 13-inch and 15-inch ultra-thin MacBooks before the second quarter ends. The publication added that the laptop will be unveiled at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference kicking off on June 13.
Some of the major updates to be found in the upcoming laptops are voice assistant Siri and Touch ID, which are features exclusive in Apple's mobile devices - iPhone and iPad. Accordign to MacRumors, the tech giant is working on unlocking your Mac with Touch ID. The security measure is said to bypass a typed log-in using Bluetooth when the phone is "in close proximity" to a computer running OS X.
To cater to professional needs of Mac users, Siri will reportedly make its debut in Mac as the design of the dock icon leaked. While there is no concrete information about this yet, consumers may have to wait for further updates.
In order to salvage the MacBook Air from declining sales, MacRumors claimed that MacBook Air will be available in two sizes only, the 11 inch and 13 inch. However, there is a chance that a 15 inch MacBook Air will be revealed. The MacBook Air will finally pack a Retina display.
MacBook Air and Pro 2016 are rumored to retain the sizes of the original with Retina display, but will be packed with powerful specs and features, including the latest Intel Skylake processors. The laptops will also run with the latest OS X El Capitan.
However, there is no official announcement from Apple regarding the final release date and features of the two laptops.
