Apple is gearing up for the launch of its forthcoming devices for the MacBook Pro line. The tech giant has been working on the macOS 10.12.1 so that the new operating system (OS) will be able to support the new hardware.

MacRumors reported that the updated OS will address the issues and concerns of Mac users since the OS was launched. The first beta of the macOS Sierra revealed a photo support feature for the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait, which was introduced in the iOS 10.1 beta.

Moreover, the OS includes the following features: Siri support, a storage optimization feature, cross device copy and paste function and auto unlocking using the Apple Watch.

Apple will reportedly launch the new software update with the remodelled MacBook Pro laptop.

According to reports, the MacBook Pro device will come with a Touch ID support and an OLED touch bar which will replace the function keys conventionally placed at the topmost part of the keyboard. The new touch bar will display the specific commands necessary for operating the application that is currently in use. The 15-inch laptops reportedly run with AMD's Polaris graphic chips.

A final beta test will be launched before the company loads the new software into its latest hardware.

Apple has yet to announce the release date for the MacBook Pro gadgets; however, reports suggest that updates could be launched towards the end of October. The MacBook will be made available to the public in November, reports say.

Though there are a lot of speculations surrounding Apple's devices, the Cupertino-based tech giant has yet to respond to the reports and officially announce the specs of the upcoming gadgets. Apple junkies should treat the latest reports as speculation until proven otherwise.

Stay tuned for more updates on Apple's MacBook Pro devices.
