Apple MacBook Air Stepping Aside For iPad Pro

The Wirecutter reports on the MacBook Air 13-inch, which is one of the top picks of the article. Since design has always been the primary focus of Apple, this tablet with just 6.9mm thickness is one of the slimmest tablets of this size, available on the market.

Apple fans who have been waiting for the MacBook Pro 2016 will have to learn to be more patient as the release date of the device is still uncertain.

In the weeks before the iPad Pro is set to go on sale, Apple has been globetrotting, showing the bigger iPad to everyone from graphic designers to artists and musicians.

The tablet will hit the market next month, but now, there aren’t any details about a specific date.

We’d strongly recommend skipping the 16GB version altogether unless you’ll be doing little more than streaming videos – the 64GB or 128GB will give you more freedom to enjoy all the apps and functionality the iPad has to offer. A few sources say that it will come around December while there are a few that say that it’s slated to be released in the first quarter of next year, along with other products like the MacBook Air and iPad Air 3.

Considering that Apple announced updates to the MacBooks at the Spring Forward event last March, it stands to reason that the next round of updates to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro won’t arrive until Spring of 2016.

Reports claim that the apparent delay may be due to preventing any possible conflict with the upcoming iPad Pro that will be released in November. In fact, it is not only in Australia where the prices of Apple laptops and Macs increased, it also happened in other countries including Brazil, New Zealand, Norway, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, and Turkey.

In addition to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, the price surge also affected the MacBook, the Mac mini, and the Mac Pro.

Another new feature that could be released on 2016 MacBooks is a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, according to Australian Network News.

The 2016 MacBook Air will reportedly come with 13-inch and 15-inch versions but will be both thinner and lighter compared to its predecessors.
