Apple is planning some pretty dramatic changes for its flagship iPad Pro and MacBook Pro series… but you might have to wait a little longer than planned to upgrade to the all-singing, all-dancing new kit.

The new MacBook Pro will sport a 16-inch display that bleeds to the very edge of the chassis, with just enough room for a Face ID module in the minute bezel. From the outside, it sounds like the display will look pretty similar to the iPad Pro.
