Opinion: What can we expect from the 2016 MacBook Pro, and will it be worth the wait?

<div class="feat-image"></div>
<p>Apple has kept us waiting a long time for a new MacBook Pro. It’s been more than a year since <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/19/15-inch-macbook-pro-cheapert-retina-imac/" target="_blank">the last update[/url], and that was a minor one. It added Force Touch to the trackpad, provided faster flash storage, an extra hour of battery-life and faster graphics. All fine as a refresh, but nothing to get too excited about.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/23/apple-prepping-thinner-macbook-pros-with-oled-screen-above-keyboard-touch-id-for-q4/" target="_blank">latest report[/url] suggests that we’re now going to have to wait until Q4 this year before a new model is released. Unsurprisingly, that report points to a next-generation MacBook Pro with a thinner and lighter design, with cues taken from the 12-inch MacBook. More power-efficient processors should allow a thinner casing without sacrificing battery-life.</p>
<p>But it also suggests a couple of new features: Touch ID, and a touch-sensitive replacement for the function keys on the top row of the keyboard. At first glance, Touch ID might sound welcome but no big deal, and the touchscreen a bit gimmicky, but – executed properly – I think they could make a huge difference to the usability of the machine …</p>
