Report: Apple Inches Closer to Releasing an OLED Touchscreen MacBook Pro
Apple will launch its first touchscreen MacBook Pro with an OLED display in late 2026, featuring on-cell touch technology to enhance user experience and productivity, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said.
- Apple is reportedly developing a touchscreen MacBook Pro with an OLED display, which is anticipated to begin manufacturing toward the end of 2026.
- This plan is based on Apple's extensive experience with how iPad users interact with touchscreens, indicating a change in stance despite earlier executive doubts about incorporating touch features into Macs.
- The new MacBook Pro will use M6 chips and OLED panels instead of current Mini LED, while an upcoming affordable MacBook with an iPhone processor is set for mass production in 4Q25.
- Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that upcoming MacBook models will include touchscreens for the first time, narrowing the distinction between Macs and iPads, and enhancing both productivity and user experience.
- This move could reshape Apple’s Mac design philosophy and suggests touchscreen features will expand to other MacBook lines after the 2026 OLED Pro launch.
