Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new high-end MacBook Pro model called the MacBook Ultra. This device is expected to be positioned above the current M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, rather than replacing them. The MacBook Ultra will feature an OLED display and a touchscreen, making it the first Mac to support touch input directly on the display.
The device will also have a reinforced hinge and screen hardware to prevent bounce-back or movement when touched. Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on making the OLED MacBook Pro significantly thinner, aiming to create the thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the tech industry. The MacBook Ultra will likely be an ultra-premium product with a higher price tag, possibly even more expensive than the current MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models.
The new MacBook Pro is expected to support features like pull-to-refresh and contextual expansion of a display cutout, similar to the iPhone s Dynamic Island.
