Apple's rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays are currently being tested with macOS 27.1, scheduled for release in late October, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. While he previously said these high-end models would be released in either late 2026 or early 2027, Gurman's latest report has the laptops firmly within a list of products coming "later this year," so he is now more confident that Apple plans to release them before the end of 2026.

Other rumored features include M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a thinner design, and a Dynamic Island instead of a notch. Macworld previously reported that these laptops would have MacBook Ultra branding, but that same report incorrectly said the iPhone Duo would be named the iPhone Ultra. In any case, the first-generation MacBook Pro models with OLED displays are expected to be distinct, higher-priced models that sit above the regular 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which are expected to jump to the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips next year.

The first developer beta of macOS 27.1 will likely be released in the coming days.
