Apple is set to unveil two new MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreen displays on October 28, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. Pacific Time in Los Angeles, where attendees will likely have the opportunity to try out the devices following their announcement. Gurman's Power On newsletter confirmed that the new MacBook Pro models will maintain a similar appearance to the current models, while weighing less and incorporating a Dynamic Island in place of the notch at the top of the screen.
Powered by Apple's M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the laptops are anticipated to come at a higher price point due to the OLED displays. In the U.S., the existing models with mini-LED displays and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips start at $2,499 for the 14-inch version and $2,999 for the 16-inch model. The new OLED-equipped MacBook Pro models may start at a price up to $500 higher. macOS Golden Gate is rumored to offer a dynamic interface for touch input, adapting controls based on whether users are touching the display or using the trackpad.
Touch will be presented as an additional input method alongside the keyboard and trackpad. The current MacBook Pro models with mini-LED displays will remain in Apple's lineup but are expected to be discontinued eventually.
