Apple Unveils Its First-Ever MacBook Pro With a Touchscreen OLED

Apple says the new model adds touch input, a brighter OLED display and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, with prices starting at $2,899.

  • On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the company's first touchscreen MacBook Pro, featuring a tandem OLED PROLED XDR display. Pre-orders opened today, with retail availability beginning November 6.
  • Apple redesigned the laptop's hinge to provide stability during touch interactions, abandoning its long-standing skepticism regarding touch interfaces on Macs. Co-founder Steve Jobs famously called such designs "ergonomically terrible" in 2010.
  • Starting at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch variant, both MacBook Pro models feature M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. Each includes a Dynamic Island cutout and a glowing Apple logo on the lid.
  • Analysts suggest the premium pricing—at least $700 above prior models—reflects Apple's strategy to target creative professionals and power users. Bloomberg reported the move aims to revive Mac demand through exclusive PROLED XDR technology.
  • As units reach consumers in November, market adoption will determine if the touch interface and display technology justify the cost. Success could narrow the gap between MacBook and iPad usage among creative professionals.
