The first quarter of 2016 is expected to witness release of a host of Apple products. If rumors are to be believed, MacBook Air 2016 is slated for a launch in March this year. This is in sync with Apple's past trend of releasing MacBook models in spring. Other products likely to be released are Apple Watch 2, iPhone 6C and iPad Air 3.
VC Post reported that MacBook Air 2016 is most likely to be launched in March and will be released some time later 2016. Meanwhile, speculations suggest that MacBook Pro 2016 shall be released a few months after MacBook Air 2016, most likely in June.
It can be noted that Apple released a 13-inch MacBook Air with retina display in the first half of 2015. Day Herald reported that MacBook Air 2016 shall be thinner compared to that of MacBook Air that was released last year. It will also boast a different cooling module and a thinner, lighter battery.
Yibada reported that the next version of MacBook Air 2016 is expected to have a 12-inch Retina display, along with a strong Intel Skylake processor. Speculations regarding its specs pointed that MacBook Air 2016 will be equipped with a Force Touch technology, 512 GB PCle- based flash storage and a USB type c- support which can run Apple's El Captain Operating System. In addition, the upcoming MacBook Air 2016 shall have improved graphics, RAM and battery life.
On the other hand, MacBook Pro 2016 is rumored to have similar features as MacBook Air 2016, but with a higher RAM and battery capacity.
However, Apple tends to remain tightlipped about its products until moments immediately before the launch. So, all speculations regarding new products have to be considered with a pinch of salt.
