Apple's upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens are expected to launch at premium price points. According to Bloomberg, the 14-inch model could start at $2,899, a $400 increase over the current $2,499 base model. The 16-inch version is projected to start at $3,399, though reports suggest it may be even more expensive.
Apple has confirmed these price points after discussing them internally. Despite the higher cost, the company will continue selling existing mini-LED models alongside the new OLED versions, providing a more affordable option for customers uninterested in touch functionality. The OLED MacBook Pro models are scheduled for unveiling tomorrow morning, with pre-orders beginning at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time.
Alongside the laptops, Apple will accept pre-orders for the OLED iPad mini, M6 iMac, and entry-level M6 MacBook Pro. The new models will feature Dynamic Island, thinner bezels, a slimmer and lighter body, and a redesigned hinge that keeps the display steady when touched. Apple has also updated the cooling system to improve airflow and reduce weight.
The OLED MacBook Pro pricing reflects Apple's strategy to introduce premium touchscreen technology while maintaining its established product lineup for budget-conscious consumers.
