The revamped model will be a touch-sensitive secondary screen. Other features that are expected to see are TouchID sensor, a sensor that is said to be used on iPhone to unlocking Mac, USB-C connector and an upgraded Thunderbolt, called "Thunderbolt 3."

Another change that will keep Apple fans excited is that the revamped MacBook Pro is speculated to feature 4G data connectivity, reports International Business Times.
