Everyone would agree that Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016 are among the most anticipated laptops this year. Apple fans and customers expected the two laptops at the Apple Spring event last March and at the WWDC 2016 last month only to be disappointed twice.

If you are still very interested in the latest update of MacBook Pro 2016 and MacBook Air 2016, you are on the right page. Read below to know the recent news about the upcoming MacBook Pro and MacBook Air 2016.

MacBook Pro 2016 Expected To Boost Apple's Sales

Apple is a huge name but the company is experiencing a decline in sales last month. Per BGR, Mac sales plunged by 8.3 percent in June. Meanwhile, MacBook Pro rivals announced an increase in their sales.

Currently, the Cupertino-based tech giant who leads in research and innovation is trailing behind Asus, when it comes to the number of shipments worldwide. Apple is only in the fifth spot of the largest PC vendor list, WCCFTech reported.

Many believe that Apple's upcoming flagship laptop, the MacBook Pro 2016 will redeem the company from its declining sales. Parent Herald previously reported that the latest MacBook Pro is expected to sport never-before-seen features that will surely make it an outstanding laptop on the market.

MacBook Pro 2016 is expected to arrive with Touch ID, NFC chip and wireless charging capacity. It is also expected to sport the latest Intel Skylake processor and to run Apple's latest operating system, the MacOS Sierra. Aside from this powerful specs and features, it will come with a sleek design, beating the current MacBook Air's slim features.

MacBook Air 2017 Thinner Than MacBook Pro 2016

There are rumors that MacBook Pro 2016's slim design will axe the MacBook Air lineup. However, these reports are not confirmed yet. Parent Herald reported that MacBook Air will not receive an upgrade this year but it won't be axed.

Looks like the reports are true. There are no details about MacBook Air 2016 but new reports suggest that the upcoming MacBook Air 2017 will be thinner than MacBook Pro 2016. The MacBook Air lineup won't allow the MacBook Pro to steal its crown of being the lightest laptop from Apple. Let's see if it will also beat MacBook, which is currently the lightest and slimmest laptop from the Cupertino-based company.

Per Chatt Sports Net, MacBook Air will have a "tweaked cooling method" with bigger RAM and more efficient battery power. Of course, since Air is due for an upgrade, it will also come with a sleek design. It is thinner and slimmer than its predecessor and the new MacBook Pro 2016.
