MacBook Pro 2016 release date, specs news update: Upcoming laptop to carry 4G LTE feature?

The upcoming Apple MacBook Pro 2016 has been a favorite subject of several rumors and speculations for quite some time now. New reports have emerged suggesting that the new flagship laptop from the Cupertino-based company will no longer need to be connected to Wi-Fi to have internet. The new device is also expected to run on Intel's next generation processor, the Kaby Lake.

According to a report by Game N Guide, there are several reports circulating all over the internet suggesting that the Apple MacBook Pro 2016 will become the first laptop to have a cellular connectivity feature. It will no longer depend on W-Fi connection since it will carry a 4G LTE connectivity. If rumors prove to be true, Apple's plan would certainly raise the bar higher in the competition. However, for the feature to work at its optimum level, the laptop will need to have larger battery capacity, which would also prevent compromising the other features of the device.

The new Kaby Lake processor from Intel is expected to arrive late this year. If Apple decides to put the powerful chipset on the much anticipated Apple MacBook Pro 2016, fans may have to wait for 2017 before they can put their hands on the laptop. The new Apple flagship product is expected to go head to head with Microsoft's upcoming portable computers, the Surface Pro 5 and Surface Book 2.

Meanwhile, previous reports have already suggested several features of the Apple MacBook Pro 2016 such as the USB Type-C port, Thunderbolt 3 and a fingerprint scanner. The device will also have a new OLED touch bar right above the keyboard, replacing the basic function keys.

For now, Apple has yet to confirm these reports. Fans are advised to take these details with a grain of salt until the company decides to make an official announcement with regard to the development and release of Apple MacBook Pro 2016.
