MacBook Ultra is coming: Six new features launching this fall
Apple has a new MacBook Ultra rumored to launch this fall as part of its expanding ‘Ultra’ lineup . Here are six new features expected with the MacBook Ultra.
Apple is set to unveil a new MacBook Ultra this fall as part of its 'Ultra' lineup, according to Bloomberg. This "total redesign" is rumored to be thinner and lighter than the current MacBook Pro. The Mac is expected to debut with touch support, making it the first Mac with a touchscreen for secondary input. macOS Golden Gate will come with touch-friendly controls, optimized for the touchscreen interface.
The MacBook Ultra will also be the first Mac to feature an OLED display, offering truer blacks, better contrast, improved off-angle viewing, and potentially better battery life. Apple has reportedly scrapped plans for M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, instead accelerating the development of high-end M7 chips, which will power the MacBook Ultra this year.
While the exact port configuration remains uncertain, the MacBook Ultra is likely to adopt a hole-punch camera cutout and incorporate Apple's Dynamic Island software feature, similar to the iPhone's interface. Rumors also suggest Apple may bring cellular connectivity to the Mac for the first time, with plans likely to be finalized by 2026.
These six new features will make the MacBook Ultra a significant upgrade from the current MacBook Pro lineup.
