Apple plans major MacBook Pro redesign with OLED, touchscreen and new camera design
Apple is expected to launch a redesigned MacBook Pro in October, featuring an OLED display, touch input support, and a hole-punch camera replacing the current notch.
Apple is preparing a significant redesign of its MacBook Pro line, reportedly slated for an October release and possibly marketed under the name MacBook Ultra. The updated model is expected to incorporate an OLED screen, which should provide deeper blacks, higher contrast and potentially better battery efficiency compared to the current Retina displays.
According to circulating rumors, the new MacBook Pro will also support touchscreen input, a capability that macOS 27 is said to be preparing for through software adjustments. While touch functionality is expected to complement the existing trackpad and keyboard, it will not replace them as the primary input method.
The redesign is also rumored to eliminate the existing notch on the display, replacing it with a smaller hole-punch camera similar to those used on recent iPhone models. The change may allow the Dynamic Island feature to be integrated into macOS, providing a seamless visual experience for the camera cutout.
