Unlike the Apple MacBook Pro 2016's recent news of having a new OLED touch bar or additional USB Type-C ports, its little brother the MacBook Air 2016 seems to be pushed aside a lot these past few months. With no significant or logical news of any upgrade for the MacBook Air lineup, should MacBook Air fans even have a reason to hope?
There are reports by news websites and techblogs in in recent months that Apple is discontinuing the MacBook Air 2016. But despite all of these, us here in Game & Guide reported last week that Apple is not planning to totally phase out the production of the MacBook Air lineup but just to skip this year's version.
