Apple plans to unveil 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays on Wednesday, October 28, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Those invited to Apple's "Pro and tell" experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time will likely receive hands‑on time after the press release.
Gurman said the new models will look similar to current ones but weigh less, feature a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, and run on the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips released in March. The OLED screens will be more expensive; starting prices could be up to $500 higher than the current $2,499 for the 14‑inch and $2,999 for the 16‑inch mini‑LED models.
macOS Golden Gate will include a "dynamic interface" for touch input, adjusting controls based on whether the user touches the display or uses the trackpad, and bringing up menus around the finger. Apple positions touch as an additional input method alongside keyboard and trackpad.
The existing mini‑LED MacBook Pro models will stay in the lineup for now but will eventually be discontinued.
