According to the recent rumors surfacing on the internet, the giant tech company Apple Inc. is expected to unveil the much-awaited new design of their flagship laptop line, the MacBook Pro. It is rumored that the MacBook Pro 2016 is going to be launched during the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this coming June.

There are hints that Apple is now setting up the stage for the arrival of the brand new MacBook Pro laptops, as there are reported big-time price cut-offs for the present MacBook Pro products, specifically on the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro released last year. As reported by the news website Yibada, there is an ongoing Best Buy big-time sale on the 2015 MacBook Pro models with discount amounting up to $270. The MacBook Pro model on sale is sporting 8GB RAM and 512 GB worth of flash storage. The price of these Apple laptops was originally set at $1,999 when it was first launched by the company last year.

The asking price for the Open Box MacBook Pros, or those units that are new and unused but were only unboxed to be displayed in the stores, is set to be at $1,729. The units on sale are covered with full Apple warranty and free delivery. Best Buy has assured the buyers that the shipping of these products will go quickly and smoothly, saying that the buyers can get the product they chose for shipping on the same day. However, the option of store pick-up still remains.

The ongoing big-time sales on Best Buy and other retail stores is an indication that the shelves are being cleared out by getting rid of the older MacBook Pro models. When this is done, the new MacBook Pro 2016 design can now be released, although Apple has not made any confirmation about the phasing out of pre-2016 models and the arrival of the brand new laptop design. TechnoBuffalo also noted that June 2016 is the best period to bet regarding the release of the new MacBook models. It is expected that the 2016 MacBook Pro design will be launched during the WWDC event that will begin on June 13 with 13-inch and 15-inch size variants.
