Apple May Develop an M7-Powered MacBook Pro With an OLED Touchscreen in 2027

    Apple is preparing to release 2nd-generation OLED MacBook Pro models with touchscreens in 2027. The laptops are expected to feature M7 Pro and M7 Max processors. These chips may bring new technological innovations for artificial intelligence tasks. However, what these will involve and how they will affect everyday use have not yet been disclosed.    The first MacBook Pro models with touchscreens were released earlier this year with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. The laptops feature an OLED display that produces more vivid colors and deeper blacks. Touch controls and the Dynamic Island interface are also included in this generation. The body is thinner and lighter than before. Apple has improved heat management and also upgraded the cooling system.    Touch-control functionality remains limited for now. Users can tap the screen, swipe with a finger, scroll through pages and resize images using 2 fingers. However, the screen does not fold backward, and the laptop does not convert into a tablet. Apple Pencil is also not supported, so this model is not designed to be used like an iPad.    Apple is trying to bring the Mac and iPad experiences closer together, but it does not plan to combine these products into a single category. The touchscreen may provide more familiar controls for iPhone and iPad users. The OLED panel will display more vivid colors and deeper blacks on the larger screen. The M7 generation may also bring higher speeds and new artificial intelligence features.    Apple is also working on a simpler 14-inch MacBook Pro with the standard M7 processor. This model is expected to have the same thin body and slim display bezels as the more expensive versions. As a result, all models in the 2027 lineup may have a more similar design. However, these plans have not been officially confirmed, and details about the new artificial intelligence features also remain unknown.
