Apple is all set to deliver latest products to its users, and that includes an updated version of iPad Pro and MacBooks.

The upcoming software update for iPad will reportedly include a better operating system support along with hardware improvements, reported Bloomberg. Moreover, Apple is also working on new Mac devices, which are scheduled to be released before the year ends.

The list of products, which Apple is working on presently, includes MacBook Air, a 5K monitor, and a refreshed version of iMac. Moreover, the upcoming MacBook Pro, might also include USB C - Type port along with Apple's 12 - inch MacBook.

As for the other updates of MacBook Pro, Apple will do away with the function keys, replacing them  with an OLED touchpad. It will also contain a virtual representation of the standard function keys, through which users can modify the brightness and volume controls among other features.

Although it is believed that the MacBook Pro might have an October release date, there is some confusion about which models will be released before the holiday season this year. It is expected that the newest features of iPad will be available no sooner than 2017.

The newest features will also include a modification of Apple Pencil, which could annotate files in different third party software to keep up with the competitors. In addition, it will also include technology that allows smoother zooming, scrolling and panning for easier access and share.

Notably, this move of Apple comes at a time when the Apple iPad has seen a steady fall in the sales. Thus it seems Apple is all bent on increasing the profit margins along with the increase in sales of MacBook Pro and the revamped version of iPad Pro.

Thus, it is yet to be seen if Apple will be back with a bang after the launch of its latest flagship product. However, one thing's for sure - Apple fans are in for a treat technology wise considering the launch of Apple lineup.
