After the Apple laptops went missing in action at the recent Black Friday sale, MacBook Air and Pro 2016 release now points next year.
Latest rumors claimed that MacBook Air and Pro 2016 release is scheduled in June 2016 at Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference event. It seems that the Cupertino-based company will wait for more than a year before it will release the successor of its notebooks.
The rumor was sparked by a report from a Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News. The report added that the MacBook Air will be available in 13 inch and 15 inch version released. The 11 inch variant will be finally put to rest as Apple will now focus on larger screens.
Aside from physical changes, the MacBook Air will revamp what is under the hood. New additions will include improved battery life, better cooling modules, and a metal chassis.
Because of these changes, there are rumors that the new generation will be more expensive than the current models of MacBook. This is similar to what happened to iPad Pro, which is at a higher price point than the iPad Air.
Meanwhile, some of the purported features of the MacBook Air 2016 are 13-inch and 15-inch screen displays, OS X El Capitan, Type-C USB port, and an improved battery life. The laptops will most likely be equipped with Force Touch technology. The MacBook Air will be even thinner than last time.
MacBook Pro 2016, on the other hand, is rumored to pack almost the same specs but with more powerful RAM and longer battery life.
However, there is no official confirmation from Apple regarding the release date and features of the said device.
