Apple Inc., is going to launch its upcoming laptop, the MacBook Pro 2016, shortly. It is also speculated that the new laptop will help Apple in avoiding constant fall in sales.
According to Amit Daryanani, a Research Analyst at RBC Capital Markets, the new MacBook Pro will aid Apple in boosting its revenue. Financial Post quoted his statement; “A potential reaccelerating of Mac revenues, in addition to the extra week in December, bodes positively for Apple and should enable total revenue growth solidly in the positive territory for fiscal 2017,”
Apple Inc. has faced financial issues because of the constant fall in the sales of Its products. A premier global market intelligence firm, IDC, reported that Apple had launched about 4.8 million MacBooks in the last year while it has rolled out 4.4. million in the present year. At the current time, out of the leading companies Apple is at fifth place in terms of product sales. The list of top four companies includes Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo. For Apple Inc., the United States is the largest market place however, even there the company has failed to do well.
According to thebitbag.com, a large number of customers are looking forward to get the upcoming MacBook Pro. The reason is that the company has not upgraded the MacBook Pro for about last 400 days. So in current circumstances, the release of the new product is expected to help the company in keeping in touch with the loyal customers. Moreover, it will also upgrade the MacBook Pro series as it has become a little outdated and is supposed to compete with other latest brands.

The upcoming laptop will run the macOS Sierra. In this regard, Mr. Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, said “With macOS Sierra, you can get information, find files and multitask using Siri, access your Desktop and Documents from anywhere, copy and paste between Macs and iOS devices, and rediscover precious memories in Photos.”
According to thebitbag.com, the company is also focusing on NFC technology. With the new technology the users of MacBook Pro will be able to make their payments and transactions online. Earlier, this technology was introduced in the iPhone. Moreover, the laptop may also feature an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) Touch Bar. According to an image leaked recently a MacBook model supports the OLED Touch Bar. The OLED Touch Bar will help by showing different controls and notifications to the user besides allowing the user to customize the keys.
As far as appearance of the MacBook Pro 2016 is concerned, it will be sold in four color variants viz. gold, rose gold, space grey and silver. Moreover, the laptop will come as two variants; a 13 inch and a 15-inch variant.

Ming-Chi Kuo, a KGI analyst, declared, “We see MacBook as a stronger candidate for becoming a theme given solid growth in the business segment, as well as a potential upgrade to hit the market in 1H16.”
With all of the above features it is expected that the MacBook Pro 2016 will be bought by many, especially by those who are already customers of Apple Inc. Thus this will really help the company in boosting its revenue.
