Apple is expected to unveil its first MacBook Pro redesign in five years next week. Reports say the new model will retain the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips while introducing several hardware changes.
The laptop is expected to be slightly thinner and significantly lighter after Apple miniaturized and rearranged internal components. Ports are likely to see minimal changes.
OLED display with touch support
The redesigned MacBook Pro is expected to replace the current Liquid Retina XDR display with OLED. The screen will reportedly support full touch input, while macOS Golden Gate will include touch-focused optimizations.
Touch will remain a secondary option rather than replacing the keyboard and trackpad. The report points to Apple’s existing OLED use in iPhones and the iPad Pro.
Camera cutout replaces the notch
The redesign is reportedly set to remove the notch introduced with the 2021 MacBook Pro. It is expected to use a hole-punch camera cutout instead.
Apple is also reportedly preparing Dynamic Island for the Mac, although the feature could later reach older Macs through a software update.
