Report: Apple Reserves OLED MacBook Pro Redesign for M6 Pro and M6 Max

Bloomberg says the entry‑level 14‑inch will retain the current design for at least a year, reflecting a staggered M5‑to‑M6 rollout.

Overview

  • Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that a revamped MacBook Pro with an OLED display, touch support, and a thinner chassis is slated for M6 Pro and M6 Max models between late 2026 and early 2027.
  • An entry‑level 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the standard M6 chip is expected toward the end of 2026, reportedly without the OLED redesign.
  • Apple’s 2026 roadmap, per the report, includes M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros and an M5 MacBook Air in the first half, followed by M5 Mac mini and updated Mac Studio mid‑year, with M6 chips appearing near year‑end.
  • The reported redesign would be the first major MacBook Pro overhaul since 2021 and could add features like potential 5G support and a Dynamic Island‑style display cutout.
  • Current models include a base 14‑inch with M5 priced about $400 below the M4 Pro version and using a single fan, while Pro and Max configurations use dual fans.
