Apple MacBook Pro 2016 Set To Feature Touch ID, Thinner And Lighter Design And USB C: Report

Apple is set to completely refresh its MacBook lineup in 2016 according to a well-placed analyst who says Apple's MacBook Pros will be made thinner and lighter with an OLED panel sitting above the keyboard to support the company's fingerprint sensor technology, Touch ID. The information comes from a new research note published by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has deep links within Apple's Chinese supply chain and a strong record of predicting what the company will do next. The information has been backed up by sources speaking to 9to5Mac. The dramatically overhauled MacBook Pro will come in 13-inch and 15-inch models, while Apple will also introduce a new 13-inch MacBook, which will be very similar in terms of design and features to the company's current 12-inch MacBook. Apple is set to continue to sell its hugely popular MacBook Air as the entry level laptop in its range.
