Apple Could Unveil Its First Touchscreen MacBook Pro in November
Apple is preparing to unveil its updated MacBook Pro models next month, by the end of November. These will be the first touchscreen laptops in the series. The displays will use Tandem OLED panels. A redesigned internal structure could make the laptops noticeably lighter than the previous generation. Their exact weight has not yet been disclosed.
To reduce the weight, Apple has made the internal parts smaller and rearranged the components. The current 14-inch MacBook Pro weighs about 1.5 kg. The 16-inch model weighs approximately 2.1 kg at most. Another report puts it at about 2.2 kg, meaning there is a slight difference between the figures. For comparison, the 15-inch MacBook Air weighs about 1.5 kg. The new laptops are expected to feature the current M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Apple plans not to release more powerful M6 variants and instead launch the M7 family sooner. The M7 chips are said to be making their debut in early 2027. The first iPad mini model with an OLED display is also expected to be unveiled around that time. The updated MacBook Pro could stand out with its thinner chassis. The display is also said to feature the Dynamic Island area familiar from iPhone models. Changes are being developed for touchscreen controls and Dynamic Island in macOS Golden Gate. Apple plans to include these updates in macOS 27.2. The laptop’s internal layout and final appearance are not yet known. This model could be considered one of the first major device innovations of the John Ternus era at Apple. Ternus, who took over as the company’s CEO, has made product design one of its main priorities. One of his first steps was to reorganize the design teams. Those teams now report directly to Ternus.
