Apple’s Next MacBook Pro Redesign Reportedly Targets 2026–27 With OLED and Touch

A near-term refresh with M5 Pro/Max chips is widely expected, with a press invite rumor pointing to late January.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Apple is planning a significant MacBook Pro overhaul for late 2026 or 2027 after years of iterative updates.
  • The redesign is rumored to bring six changes: an OLED display, touch input, a hole‑punch/Dynamic Island‑style camera area, M6 Pro/Max chips on TSMC’s 2nm process, a thinner chassis, and potential built‑in cellular.
  • Separately, new MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected soon, though Apple has not announced timing.
  • A tipster claims Apple invited media to an “Apple Experience” on Jan. 27–29, which has been interpreted as a possible window for an M5 Pro/Max launch, but the event remains unconfirmed.
  • Context from reports notes the last major MacBook Pro redesign arrived in 2021, and some sources say the entry‑level 14‑inch model with a standard M6 may not receive all of the later redesign changes.
