Apple testing touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED displays for 2026
Apple is reportedly advancing its hardware roadmap for 2026, with a significant focus on new device categories and high-end upgrades. A major development involves the internal testing of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models equipped with touch-enabled OLED displays. These flagship laptops are expected to run macOS 27.1 and may feature M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a thinner chassis, and a Dynamic Island design to replace the traditional notch.
Industry reports suggest these touchscreen MacBook Pro models could launch in late 2026, potentially positioned as a premium tier above standard models. This shift marks a notable change in Apple’s long-standing approach to touch interfaces on its laptop lineup.
Beyond the Mac, Apple’s 2026 ecosystem includes the iPhone Duo, a $1,999 device introducing a new form factor, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The company is also refreshing its wearable and desktop lines, including the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and various Mac models powered by the M6 chip, such as the iMac and Mac mini.
