Steve Jobs Said This Kind of Device Would Be ‘Terrible.’ 16 Years Later, Apple Seems Set to Release It
The redesign would add OLED touch support and a lighter chassis, with reports saying the new models will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
- On Tuesday, October 27, Apple is expected to unveil its first touchscreen MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays and a Dynamic Island interface. Bloomberg reports the launch will include 14- and 16-inch variants designed to be significantly lighter than current versions.
- Apple has reengineered the machine's internal architecture, miniaturizing components to achieve a lighter chassis while retaining current port availability. This redesign marks a significant departure from the company's long-held skepticism toward touchscreen laptops, which executives once dismissed as "ergonomically terrible."
- Software evidence in the macOS 27.2 beta confirms touch-responsive features, including a pull-to-refresh action and gesture recognition tools. These new MacBook Pro models will reportedly utilize M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, rather than the newer M6 series.
- Ahead of the Mac-focused event, Apple will host a smart-home product launch on October 13, featuring new HomePod and Apple TV hardware. The October 27 launch will also introduce an updated iPad mini equipped with an OLED screen.
- CEO John Ternus has prioritized rebuilding design teams to accelerate product development cycles, facilitating this aggressive release schedule. Analysts view the roadmap as a clear departure from the measured cadence established under his predecessor, Tim Cook.
