On his first-ever Power On podcast today, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said that he believes Apple will introduce its long-rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays in October or November this year. "Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October," he said. "It could slip to November, but as early as October."…
On his inaugural Power On podcast, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expressed confidence that Apple will unveil its long-discussed 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring touch-sensitive OLED screens in October or November of this year. Gurman suggested Apple could debut its inaugural touchscreen MacBook Pro as early as October, with a potential release in November if necessary.
Apple is currently evaluating these laptops with macOS 27.2, a beta version, and intends to release the update toward the end of October, potentially coinciding with the touchscreen MacBook Pro announcement. Beyond the OLED touch screen, the speculated enhancements include the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a reduced design, and a Dynamic Island in place of a notch.
Some Apple enthusiasts remain optimistic that the touchscreen MacBook Pro models may incorporate Apple's proprietary C1X or C2 modem, enabling cellular connectivity via 5G or LTE networks. The touch-screen models are anticipated to outshine the regular 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, which are projected to adopt the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips next year.
The feasibility of retaining the MacBook Pro branding on the touchscreen models or adopting a distinct name like MacBook Ultra remains undetermined.
