If the rumors are correct, Apple is now ready to introduce the new MacBook Pro model to the public as the tech giant is expected to mention the latest device during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2016 next month. The unveiling of the new Macbook will also highlight its brand new keyboard design.

Several tech enthusiasts, especially the Apple followers, who will attend the company's WWDC 2016 event are in for a show as Apple is expected to showcase the all-new MacBook Pro and reveal its high-level capabilities and features.

MacRumors reported that the 2016 model of MacBook Pro will be a part of Apple's presentation in the upcoming event to be held on June 14 to 17. There is also a speculation that the company will present a handful of new things in the Macbook Pro line, especially with regards to the laptop's keyboard design.

The MacBook Pro 2016 is expected to introduce a new style of the Butterfly mechanism keyboard. As reported by Forbes, the new MacBook Pro will sport an enhanced and more effective keyboard design. To do this, the present Butterfly keyboard style will be redesigned to make it thinner and have a larger surface area for the laptop user's convenience.

Aside from the stylish and more effective keyboard mechanism, there are rumors that Apple signed a deal with Samsung to improve the screen features of their new MacBook units. For one, the company is said to use the South Korean company's OLED screen panel technology for the MacBook Pro 2016.

The rumors also suggest that the new MacBook Pro will boast the next generation of Intel Skylake processor, according to The Bitbag. It will no longer be a surprise if Apple decides to use the latest Skylake chipsets for their upcoming devices as other giant competitors have also made use of the higher level Skylake processors for their own products.
