Overview

• Apple’s first MacBook with touch input is expected to be an OLED MacBook Pro entering mass production by late 2026, with shipments projected for late 2026 or early 2027.
• The touch implementation is reportedly on‑cell, integrating sensors into the display stack to reduce thickness compared with add‑on layers.
• Supply‑chain reporting points to Samsung Display as the likely provider of the laptop‑scale OLED panels for the new MacBook Pro.
• A lower‑cost MacBook using an iPhone‑class chip is slated for mass production in Q4 2025 without a touchscreen, with touch support under consideration for a second‑generation model in 2027.
• Key details remain unsettled, including the exact launch window and which Apple silicon generation will power the OLED/touch model.
