Latest MacBook Air 2016 rumors point to an even thinner design

Thinner, bigger, and stronger may be the motto for the next MacBook Air. The current MacBook Air is available in 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch form factors, but its design has been largely stagnant over the years and could certainly benefit from a major overhaul. According to a report from China claiming to be part of the iPhone team, the MacBook Air 2016 is scheduled to appear at the WWDC 2016 conference.

Visually, the next MacBook Air is expected to take design queues from the MacBook Pro and MacBook 12 with a height of only 13.1 mm and a starting price of 1000 Euros. Apple may also be considering extending the Air series to the 15.6-inch size category.

If the rumors hold true, then the MacBook Air 2016 may even borrow the unique battery design of the current MacBook 12. Other essential upgrades, such as Skylake and higher resolution display options, are essentially given. The MacBook Air continues to be one of the best thin-and-light notebooks available in the market.
