Apple's MacBook Pro Redesign Rumored for October With OLED and Touch
Apple is reportedly readying a MacBook Pro redesign, possibly called MacBook Ultra, with an OLED display, touchscreen support and a hole-punch camera.
Apple is reportedly working on a redesigned MacBook Pro that could arrive as soon as October, according to a report from 9to5mac.com. The machine may carry a new name: MacBook Ultra.
The rumored overhaul touches nearly every part of the laptop's front face. Apple is expected to swap the current mini-LED panel for an OLED display, a shift that would bring deeper blacks and better contrast to its flagship notebook.
The redesign is also said to add touchscreen support — a first for the Mac line. Hints of that capability reportedly appear inside macOS 27, suggesting Apple is laying software groundwork ahead of any hardware launch.
On the display itself, the notch is expected to give way to a hole-punch camera cutout. The Dynamic Island, already familiar from the iPhone, is likewise expected to make its way to macOS.
None of the features have been confirmed by Apple, and the October timing remains a rumor. The company has not announced an event or commented on the report.
