Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the OLED, touch‑enabled, thinner design will debut only on 14‑ and 16‑inch MacBook Pros running M6 Pro or M6 Max.
- The entry‑level 14‑inch M6 MacBook Pro is expected to keep a mini‑LED display and the current design for at least the first year.
- Apple is targeting a late‑2026 to early‑2027 window for the redesigned models, with Samsung Display’s production ramp cited as a timing risk.
- Before the redesign, Apple is said to roll out M5‑series updates through 2026, including M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pros, an M5 MacBook Air, updated Mac mini, and new Mac Studio tiers.
- Analysts expect a price premium of a few hundred dollars on the first OLED configurations, with Samsung as the initial panel supplier and LG Display and BOE discussed for later.
