Steve Jobs Said This Kind of Device Would Be ‘Terrible.’ 16 Years Later, Apple Seems Set to Release It
Bloomberg says the redesign adds OLED screens, touch support and a lighter build as Apple targets creative professionals.
- On or around Tuesday, October 27, Apple is expected to unveil its first 14-inch and 16-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro models with OLED displays, Bloomberg reports. The launch marks a second October event following the company's smart home showcase.
- Reversing long-standing company orthodoxy, Apple has reengineered the MacBook Pro's interior to make the new models "significantly lighter" while integrating a Dynamic Island-style interface. Executives previously called touchscreen laptops "ergonomically terrible."
- Powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the new laptops will run macOS 27.2, which adds gesture recognition tools like pull-to-refresh. Using the touchscreen will be "completely optional," as the devices retain a full keyboard and trackpad.
- Separately, Apple confirmed a "Welcome Home" event for October 13, where it will debut smart home products including a new HomePod mini. This event precedes the late-October Mac launch as part of an accelerated hardware release schedule.
- Under new CEO John Ternus, Apple has prioritized aggressive development cycles, opting for M5 chips to expedite future M7 advancements. This strategy positions the company to maintain competitive advantage in the high-end laptop market through 2027.
