Overview
- Apple is expected to unveil a redesigned MacBook Pro with a touchscreen OLED display at its 'Pro and Tell' event on Wednesday, October 28.
- Reports say the new top-tier models will add touch input, an iPhone-style Dynamic Island cutout, and a significantly lighter chassis while retaining a keyboard-and-trackpad focus.
- Developer code in macOS 27.2 shows the operating system is being tweaked to accept touch input, including UI changes that respond when users tap the display.
- Coverage indicates Apple will reorganize the lineup into three tiers: an M6-based entry model, current M5 Pro/Max machines moved to the mid tier, and redesigned OLED touchscreen M5 Pro/Max models at the top.
- Analysts and leaks predict substantially higher prices for the OLED touchscreen models, and retailers have reduced prices on outgoing M5 Max inventory, creating immediate deals for buyers.
