Apple May Add a Touchscreen to the Next MacBook Pro, Reports Say

The MacBook Pro may get one of its biggest changes in years. Apple is reportedly preparing touchscreen support for its premium laptops. A recent report says the upcoming models may pair OLED displays with a thinner body, which would give the MacBook Pro a more modern look. Apple is also said to be working on a Dynamic Island-style cutout instead of the current notch. The new laptops are expected to keep 14-inch and 16-inch screens and move to M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Apple has not confirmed any of this.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, the next MacBook Pro models may ship with OLED screens and touch input. The thinner design could make them slimmer than the current lineup. In addition, Apple may replace the notch with a Dynamic Island-style cutout. Display-size details remain limited. Even so, the new models are expected to stay at 14 inches and 16 inches.

The touchscreen MacBook Pro models are expected to use Apple’s M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. It is still unclear whether these Macs will use Apple’s C1X or C2 modem. Apple is also reportedly studying mobile-network support for future Mac computers. If that feature arrives, a MacBook could connect to a mobile network without an iPhone hotspot.

Apple has made no official announcement. Reports suggest the company could introduce the new models by the end of October, along with macOS 27.2. If the touchscreen MacBook Pro reaches India, it is expected to stay in the premium segment. Rumours put the price around Rs. 2 lakh or more. Those figures are speculation. The official price will come only at launch.
