New MacBook Pro redesign gets exciting launch timing update - 9to5Mac
Reports suggest Apple is preparing to launch a redesigned MacBook Pro featuring a touchscreen and OLED display as early as October or November. This release is expected to coincide with other new hardware, including HomePod devices and the iPhone Duo.
Why it matters
The potential introduction of a touchscreen MacBook represents a significant shift in Apple's long-standing design philosophy for its laptop lineup.
Apple reportedly plans to launch new Home products on October 13. And according to Mark Gurman, it sounds like the rumored MacBook Pro redesign will arrive shortly after.
Today Bloomberg launched a new weekly podcast : ‘Power On with Mark Gurman.’ In the inaugural episode , Gurman provides a launch timing update for Apple’s rumored new MacBook Pro redesign with a touchscreen, OLED, and more.
Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October. It could slip to November, but as early as October. And Apple is testing it internally using macOS 27.2, which is a beta that they’ve already put out to developers in recent weeks. So this thing is approaching.
Apple often launches new Macs in the late October-early November window. It sounds like that’s exactly what’s being planned for this new MacBook Pro (or MacBook Ultra ) device.
