Apple plans to introduce a revamped MacBook Pro this year. Apple also recently rehired software engineer and security expert Jon Callas, following their dispute with the FBI. Read more after the break!
The new MacBook Pro will have a thinner and lighter form factor, Touch ID, and an OLED display touch bar above the keyboard (according to Ming-Chi Kuo). It will also adopt USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. The MacBook will come in both 13 and 15-inch variations and will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2016.
According to Kuo, Apple will move forward with all three MacBook lines this year, with the MacBook Pro taking the high-end spot, the MacBook becoming the medium-level model, and the MacBook Air taking the entry-level spot.
Apple's decision to rehire Jon Callas comes amid rumors that the company is working on improving the security of its iOS devices. Their dispute with the FBI is said to have spurred the company to work on implementing security measures "even it cannot hack". Apple did confirm the hiring, but did not offer details on what Callas is working on.
