MacBook Pro you would after a long time it deserved a proper update and new rumors suggest that she will indeed get it. The good news is that, apparently, it won't just be about installing a new processor and increasing performance. A brand new machine with the potential to amaze is about to come into the world.

Prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from the company KGI Securities and other server resources 9to5Mac agree that the new MacBook Pro is expected to arrive in the last quarter of this year, but it should be thinner and lighter, and in terms of technology, it should be enriched with a Touch ID sensor and a new OLED display used as a control panel located above the keyboard. The changes should concern the 13- and 15-inch model from this series.

The aforementioned OLED control panel is supposed to replace the classic function keys. However, it is not yet very clear what added value it will bring. But how he pointed out Mark Gurman, it would be easier for Apple to add new functions to OS X and with them special buttons, for example for Siri. As for ports, the new MacBook Pros are supposed to bring modern connectivity in the form of USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports.

In addition to the new MacBook Pros, Apple is also expected to introduce a 13-inch variant of the MacBook with a Retina display in the fourth quarter, complementing the 12-inch model that was launched this year received an increase in performance. According to Kuo, the MacBook Air will remain in the menu act as an "entry" model at an affordable price. MacBooks with a Retina display will be the middle ground, and MacBook Pros will remain the line for the most demanding users.

Rumors surfaced this month that Apple will offer the ability to unlock Macs through Touch ID on the iPhone in a future software update. Now it looks like future MacBooks will also have their own fingerprint sensor, which does not mean that unlocking through the iPhone's Touch ID could not be made available by Apple as part of OS X 10.12 and iOS 10. We could expect the introduction of this feature in three weeks at the WWDC developer conference.
