Apple will be showing some new stuff on Thursday, and everyone is confident it’ll be new MacBooks. The event should give us our first look at the talked-about OLED touch bar. New desktop products are also in the pipeline but reportedly won’t debut until 2017.

Kuo believes the highlight of the event will be a redesigned MacBook Pro in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, adopting an OLED touch bar and Touch ID sensor, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, and the same butterfly keyboard design introduced on the MacBook in 2015. Beyond the MacBook Pro, Kuo says Apple will also be introducing a "13-inch MacBook," a claim he has shared previously. Rather than being a slightly larger version of the current 12-inch MacBook, however, this is likely to be a MacBook Air, which would align with other rumors claiming that only the 13-inch MacBook Air will be seeing an update with new USB-C ports.
 
AMD Vega perhaps? Or more likely Polaris considering Apple likes to go slow in moving up. Although I thought latest rumors were stating Nvidia got Apple this time.
