Apple to launch MacBook Air 2016
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.
It is expected that the MacBook Air
2016 will pack an Intel Skylake U-chipset under the hood and will run El
Capitan, the latest version of Apple's desktop OS.
Currently, MacBook products come in 11, 12, 13 and 15-inch screen sizes.. 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.
