Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has walked back somewhat on his previous reporting that Apple's upcoming touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro will be thinner than current models. "I don't think it'll be significantly thinner in the end," he posted on X late Wednesday in reply to a question about the machine, which is expected to launch later this month.
In October 2025, Gurman reported that the OLED MacBook Pro models would have "thinner and lighter" frames. Then, in November 2025, he said the touchscreen models would have "a thinner chassis." Now it seems they will only be "significantly lighter," according to Gurman's October 2026 newsletter.
The shift suggests that thinner and lighter do not necessarily go hand in hand. Reducing weight may be the more achievable goal for the new design, while a meaningful reduction in thickness now appears less likely.
The touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro is expected to launch later this month, and buyers will be able to judge the final dimensions for themselves once it arrives.
