Apple is set to overhaul its MacBook Pro line for the first time since 2021, featuring OLED displays, touch support, and a lighter design. Rumors suggest that the new MacBook Pros may also introduce cellular support, but it remains uncertain if this will be implemented. Apple is slated to unveil the first touchscreen MacBooks during a 'Pro and tell' event in Los Angeles on October 28, featuring OLED iPad mini, OLED MacBook Pro, refreshed iMac, and 14" base model MacBook Pro all powered by the M6 chip.
The possibility of a cellular MacBook Pro utilizing the C2 modem from iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo is hinted at, as Apple tested its second-generation modem with these MacBooks in 2024. Additionally, previous testing of an M5 Pro-based MacBook Pro with Apple’s C1 modem adds to the speculation. However, there is no concrete evidence yet confirming or denying the inclusion of cellular support in the upcoming MacBook Pro lineup.
