Apple to Unveil Updated 12-inch MacBook Soon?

References to the unannounced early 2016 12-inch MacBook model have been recently found in the System Image Utility and the OS X Server application. Moreover, Pike’s Universum has recently determined what processors these new devices will have. According to the latest findings, the CPUs will include Intel® Core™ m3-6Y30 Processor (up to 2.20 GHz), Intel® Core™ m5-6Y54 Processor (up to 2.70 GHz) and Intel® Core™ m7-6Y75 Processor (up to 3.10 GHz).

Evidence of the 2016 12-inch MacBook is seen within Apple’s own System Image Utility on the Mac, which is where the reference was discovered, and the OS X Server application available in the Mac App Store.

Yesterday, we reported about Apple’s plans to release new 13 and 15-inch MacBooks in July. Looks like together with these devices the company will also unveil the smaller portable model.

The 12-inch form factor was introduced last year with the original MacBook. Some insiders claim that thinner MacBooks will soon replace the MacBook Air lineup.
