The next breed of Apple’s popular laptop prototype MacBook Pro will be ‘cooler’ – it will be thinner, lighter, and equipped with an OLED function panel, according to a research note from well-connected KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo, reported on Apple site 9to5Mac and MacRumors.

The amazing thinness and lightness of the newest MacBook Pro is a result of metal-injection-molded hinges installed in it, the reports said.

Also, the tech giant would introduce Touch ID fingerprint scanners in its newly-furnished prototypes and all MacBook Pro models would feature a USB-C and Thunderbolt 3.

Both reports said Apple aspires to make the MacBook Air the ‘entry-level option’, the MacBook a ‘mid-tier choice’, and the MacBook Pro a ‘high-end variant’.

Apple will also remodel a 13-inch laptop similar to the latest 12-inch Retina model upgraded with performance boosts.The last innovation of Apple gossiped by tech entrepreneurs was that a ‘sexier’ 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook will be unveiled in the market during the fourth quarter of 2016.
