Will the new, updated and much anticipated MacBook Pro launch to a clamoring multitude of Apple fans at the end of this month? October 2016? Are you eagerly waiting for the launch announcement?

Well, up to now there is no event on the calendar, and no invites have been sent out and yet the rumor mill is going strong. The Japanese Mac fan site Mac Otakara cites a very “reliable Chinese supplier” who confirms says Apple will definitely launch both 13 and 15-inch models before the end of the month.

So we have no event, will Apple quietly launch the much anticipated new models with an announcement and press release? It seems likely at this late stage of the game.

And the features we are still expecting to see? Touch ID via the power button, a LED contextual strip for the functions, AMD graphics, and support for USB-c and Thunderbolt-3. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Apple still plans to announce its new MacBook Pro “in the month” with shipments to begin at the end of October, according to new information… Apple is also expected to launch a new 13-inch MacBook Air, but will not debut a new 11-inch MacBook Air machine. With the month coming to an end in just two weeks, it is unclear if there will be an event to announce the new machines. There have been no hints of an event and no invites have been sent out, so it’s possible Apple will debut the machines more quietly, with just a press release. read more at macrumors.com
