Apple Unveils Its First-Ever MacBook Pro With a Touchscreen OLED
The redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch models add touch input, a Dynamic Island, and up to 24 hours of battery life, Apple said.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the first touchscreen MacBook Pro, featuring a tandem OLED display Apple calls PROLED XDR and introducing the Dynamic Island interface to the Mac.
- This release marks a major reversal of Apple's long-held resistance to touchscreen laptops, departing from co-founder Steve Jobs' 2010 stance that such devices were "ergonomically terrible."
- Available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, the new models feature M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, weigh 3 pounds and 4 pounds respectively, and start at $2,899 and $3,399.
- Pre-Orders opened immediately on announcement day, with general retail availability beginning November 6, 2026, as Apple aims to revive Mac demand through these premium features.
- Integrating touch functionality aligns the MacBook with industry standards, potentially narrowing the usability gap between MacBook and iPad for creative professionals and power users.
