Apple Plans Major MacBook Pro Overhaul with Touchscreens, OLED Displays, and Dynamic Island Features
February 25, 2026
A new hybrid input approach would make touch optional and work alongside traditional trackpad gestures, with a Dynamic Island‑style UI adapting when touch controls are used.
The report emphasizes that the information comes from leaks and should be viewed with skepticism.
Early details hint at possible chassis thinning and other design changes, but no confirmation of additional major updates beyond these changes.
Design would resemble current MacBook Pros with backlit keyboard and trackpad, but touch input would be optional rather than the default focus.
Early market chatter in India suggests the M6 Pro (14‑inch) could start around Rs 2,15,000 and the M6 Max (16‑inch) around Rs 3,65,000, with reference points to the M4 Pro/Max for context.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is cited as the source, aligning with prior reports about hardware and interface changes.
Apple is reportedly planning a major MacBook Pro refresh that adds touch input to the 14‑inch and 16‑inch models, pairs it with OLED panels instead of their current mini‑LEDs, and integrates a Dynamic Island‑like feature centered around a camera notch.
The redesign is framed as a significant shift for the MacBook Pro line, potentially including Face ID in the broader future interface while maintaining a familiar chassis and large keyboard/trackpad.
Pricing is expected to be higher than current models due to the new components and supply constraints for RAM and NAND.
Internal codenames K114 and K116 are linked to these updates, with Apple reportedly declining to comment; past reports tied those codes to M6 series chips.
Bloomberg’s reporting suggests iPhone‑like features could extend to macOS, broadening the UI concepts across laptops.
Two potential timelines are floated: a late‑2026 launch targeting the M6 family and 14/16‑inch variants, or an earlier 2027 release window.
