Apple's long-expected MacBook Pro revision with the range's first OLED display and first touch-enabled screen was originally expected in the next few months, but is now likely to launch in the next few weeks.
While iPhone Duo pre-orders have not even started yet, and attention has turned to Apple's home products expected on October 13, the MacBook Pro redesign is also near. There is still a chance that it will slip to early 2027, but most recent leaks point to an October or November 2026 release.
The key change is to be the screen used for both the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro. It's expected to be Apple's first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro, even though the company has previously decried the idea. However, touchscreen displays have now been in Windows laptops for years.
Then, too, Apple is looking to add compelling reasons for existing users to upgrade. Potentially another such reason will be the introduction of an OLED display. OLED produces richer blacks and a higher quality image while using less battery power. But Apple made OLED the distinction between the 13-inch iPad Air and 13-inch iPad Pro back in 2024, and it doesn't appear to have driven upgrades as much as expected.
