Apple is reportedly planning to launch new MacBook Pro notebooks in October. Apple was widely rumored to launch a new Mac lineup at its Special September event.
With the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series being announced, Apple’s next big product could be the updated Mac lineup. Apple’s Mac range has needed an update for a long time. Apple has also not introduced any flagship device to showcase its new macOS, Sierra.
Apple’s new MacBook Pro will replace the keyboard’s function keys with a new OLED touch bar. The new OLED touch bar is reported to offer quick access to some of the common actions.
According to MacRumors, Apple will deploy AMD’s ‘Polaris graphics chips’ with the new 15-inch model. Apple is also rumored to bring Touch ID support to the MacBook range. With macOS Sierra, Apple supported Apple Pay on the web, but the feature still relies on using TouchID on the iOS device. With Touch ID on Mac, Apple Pay could become a significant experience for online shopping.
MacRumors reports that Apple is testing macOS 10.12.1 with support for new, updated hardware. The new macOS version will benefit from new features like the OLED bar and native Touch ID support.
Apple will also likely update MacBook Air models with a USB-C port and a new design. MacBook Air, Apple’s best-selling Mac notebook, has not seen an update for a long time. Apple is expected to introduce USB-C ports and Intel’s seventh-generation chipsets.
MacRumors reports that Apple will also introduce new iMacs with AMD graphics processors and a new 5K standalone display developed in collaboration with LG. Apple’s Mac Mini and Mac Pro also need significant updates, but rumors don’t indicate any updates.
