Overview
- Apple unveiled the touch MacBook Pro at its Pro and Tell event on Oct. 28, offering 14‑ and 16‑inch models, China pricing from ¥22,999, preorders opening Oct. 29–30 and first deliveries scheduled for Nov. 6.
- The laptop uses a dual‑layer stacked OLED PROLED XDR panel with ProMotion 1Hz–120Hz, up to 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness, a thinner lighter chassis and a reintroduced illuminated Apple logo.
- Configurations include M5 Pro and M5 Max chips with memory options up to 128GB unified RAM, and Apple says the M5 Max setups can run multi‑hundred‑billion‑parameter large language models locally for on‑device AI tasks.
- macOS has gained an iPhone‑style Dynamic Island for realtime activities and a Siri entry point, while Apple published a third‑party touch‑adaptation roadmap showing major apps will add touch support later this year.
- At the same event Apple also announced M6 updates for the 24‑inch iMac and a 14‑inch MacBook Pro, and market data from TrendForce plus early China sales reports show the iPhone Duo has shipped roughly 5 million units worldwide with about 200,000 sold in its initial China sales window.
