Meanwhile, the new MacBook Pro may not be able to get its official launching this coming September when new versions of iPhone are slated to be introduced.

The new MacBook Pros will be more slender, lighter and avoid a large number of its ports, supplanted by USB Type-C port to handle force, information and video yield.

Moreover, the company is planning to reveal a new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops with Retina displays at the same time. Notice that there are no function keys at the top of the keyboard?

WWDC attendees look at the new MacBook Pro that is displayed following the keynote address at the Apple 2012 World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) at Moscone West on June 11, 2012 in San Francisco, California.

According to the latest Bloomberg report, Apple will also offer a more powerful processor, possibly an AMD graphics processor, which is also thinner. As for Touch ID support, the report says that it’ll be integrated next to the new function key display and allow people to authenticate Apple Pay purchases and log in more quickly. In case of the iPhone 6s, the sales have not lived up with Wall Street expectations, and the company saw its first ever decline in revenue this year. However, Apple will now unveil two iPhones – iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus – at an event to be held on September 7.

With the launch of the iPhone 7 just around the corner, leaks and speculations have been pouring in.

So don’t be surprised to see the OLED touchscreen replacing the function key strip in the next MacBook Pro.
