Apple's Cupertino-based office released a specific date of release for the newest and latest 2016 version of Macbook Pro. For the past few months, especially at the beginning of the year, rumors and speculations have already spread all over the internet. It is only now that fans of the brand can finally wait for a few days before its release.

According to University Herald, some reports initially said that the release will be delayed and consumers may expect it to arrive by 2017. This is to a rumored delay in a spec called Intel Kaby Lake. These reports were eventually contradicted by some information released by other media sites, saying, that the Macbook Pro 2016 will be released with Skylake within October 2016.

Mac Rumors say that the software and hardware interfaces of Macbook Pro 2016 have major changes since its earlier releases. The report says that the new version will boast a lighter and thinner form, a wider trackpad, a flatter keyboard, with narrower curves along its edges.

The Macbook Pro 2016 also brags its Dynamic Function Row which will replace the F buttons on the first row of the keyboard. It is reported to have USB-C, which allows faster data transfer, Thunderbolt 3, and Touch ID.

Express UK notes that the OLED touchscreen will allow users to scan their fingerprints so no one can easily get into their files. This feature is patterned to iPhone and iPad's touch ID sensor.

The button is said to be integrated with the power button. All these reports say that the release of Macbook Pro 2016 might occur by the end of this month, however, some say that the specific date is on October 24 this year.
