MacBook Pro 2016 Release Date News, Rumors: Is the Upcoming Laptop Delayed for iPad Pro Launch?

Apple users and fanatics are waiting to get their hands on the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016 that's set to release in the near future. While there is no official release date slated for the upcoming notebook, rumor has it that it's been delayed to make room for another Apple device, the iPad Pro.

For not all fans can do is go by the rumors have been been published by major media outlets which should be taken with a grain of salt. According to MNR Daily, many reports are making waves online that say the MacBook Pro 2016 will arrive in December. Other reports say that the notebook is going to launch alongside other Apple products like MacBook Air and iPad Air 3 come January 2016.

While Apple has not announced a release date for the MacBook Pro 2016, some reports go as far as to say the device has been delayed to give way to the iPad Pro. Reports mention that the tablet is going to launch in November of 2015 so in order to avoid competing with themselves on the market, Apple is holding off on launching the MacBook Pro 2016.

On that note, another green light for the release of the upcoming notebook is that currently available Apple products go on sale. As history has shown fans who start seeing Apple products go on sale at retailers can anticipate new product from the tech titan in the near future.

Other reports go on to mention that the delay for the MacBook Pro 2016 is due to a delay in the production of their Intel processors. Neurogadget speculates that processors for the devices were not ready, which caused the delay, however Apple has not confirmed this.

Stepping into some of the specs and features that have been reported on but remain rumors, Gospel Herald claims that the MacBook Pro 2016 might come with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. They go on to mention that the device might be available in two variants, a 13-inch screen one at $1500 and a 15-inch model at $1699 respectively.
