Rumors are pretty confusing especially when a highly anticipated device is the subject, like Apple's upcoming MacBook Air 2016. Words on the street have suggested that the Apple laptop will either be unveiled later this year or sometime 2016.

According to the report from Neurogadget, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a sudden sale for Apple's previous devices and models. A stunt like this could also be pointed out for a huge upcoming unveiling for the company's upcoming products, thus making other fans believe that the MacBook Air 2016 might get its unveiling later this year.

However, it also points out that this could be the company's preparation for the launch of the powerful tablet, iPad Pro 2016 as its release is now imminent and could be launched sometime next month. Furthermore, Neurogadget has predicted that the release date for the MacBook Air 2016 could potentially be moved by next year to make way for the tablet.

Meanwhile, as added on the report, Intel's delayed production of their processor could also be one of the factors why Apple delays the launch of the next MacBook Air laptop.

In terms of specification, the Apple MacBook Air 2016 is rumored to sport in a 13-inch screen or even a much larger 15-inch display, as reported by the source. Moreover, for its power, the new laptop is being expected to run on Intel's latest chip, the Skylake-U processor which can give the future laptop more power than its predecessors.

Furthermore, it was also stated there that the battery of this laptop has been upgraded and if the rumor turns out to be accurate, fans can expect the upcoming MacBook Air to have more battery-life than the past models.

Needless to say, since everything is just based on rumors for now and nothing has been made official yet, it would be ideal to take this one with a tiny spec of salt until Apple officially confirms the MacBook Air 2016 release date, as well as its official specs.
