The MacBook Pro 2016 is likely to be arrived on Oct. 24, 2016. The alleged MacBook Pro 2016's specs are also released.

The MacBook Pro 2016's specs are the Touch ID, OLED touch screen to replace function keys, USB-C and the Intel Skylake processors.

Following the release of the iPhone 7 sans the headphone jack, techies believe that the MacBook Pro 2016 will follow this trend, Gamenguide reported. This would make the AirPods have more sense as it would not only be used on the iPhone 7 anymore.

The Apple's MacBook Pro 2016's thickness will be different from its predecessors. The previous MacBook laptop models have thicker width and remained the same for years. Now, the Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 will be sporting a streamlined thinner appearance and a lighter weight as well.

The function keys are to be replaced by an OLED screen above the keyboard, according to 9 to 5 Mac. The belief of having the touch screen strip replacing the function keys on its position is held stronger, as the newly released MacOS Sierra are found to be hinting at the new hardware; and has support for the Touch ID. It has been thought that the new touch screen design would not only replace the function keys but would also feature the Touch ID and the third party apps.  The other MacBook Pro 2016's spec is that the keyboard keys will have a flatter and thinner width.

There are also reports that the MacBook Pro 2016 will also have a 5k display. This means there would be higher resolution; the colors are more crisp and brighter.

There are indications that four USB-C ports would be present on the MacBook Pro 2016. Apple had already switched to the USB-C when they have placed it on the 12-inch MacBook in 2015.

The new mobile Xeon E3 chips can potentially be used in the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro to improve and enhance the graphics, memory, CPU, and memory performance much further. However, because of the price constraints at the high end, the standard Core i7 Skylake chips would become a more likely choice by Apple.

What is the MacBook Pro 2016 price? The MacBook Pro laptop available on the market has a price starting at $1,099 for the 13-inch non-retina model. With the entry-level 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, the price is at $1,119. And for the MacBook Pro with 2.5GHz 15-inch Retina, it has a price tag of $2,099.
