The tech site's MacBook Pro 2016 rumors hinted that there could be more Apple products that will be launched soon, especially that the American tech giant discreetly introduced on April 19 its 12-inch MacBook 2016. Following this announcement, does it mean that the new MacBook Pro will already be the one to be featured in the next launch?
