Apple’s Touchscreen MacBook Pro: The Mac We Never Thought We’d See

It’s finally happening — Apple is reportedly working on a touchscreen MacBook Pro.
Yep, the same company that once said touchscreens didn’t belong on laptops is about to flip the script.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple’s next major MacBook redesign is set for late 2026 or early 2027, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest change to the Mac lineup in over a decade.

Touch at Last 

The upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models (code-named K114 and K116) will be the first Macs to include a touch-enabled display. That’s right — you’ll finally be able to scroll, tap, and pinch-zoom your way through macOS like it’s an iPad.

Apple is reportedly designing a reinforced hinge and display assembly to make sure the screen doesn’t wobble or bounce when touched — a common issue on other touchscreen laptops. Of course, it’ll still keep a full keyboard and trackpad, because no one wants to type a whole essay on glass.

OLED Enters the Chat 

The new MacBook Pros will also be Apple’s first Macs with OLED displays, offering deeper blacks, punchier colors, and better energy efficiency than the current Mini-LED screens.

The camera notch? Gone. Apple’s replacing it with a hole-punch camera cutout, similar to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island — cleaner, sleeker, and very Apple.

What’s Under the Hood 

Inside, the redesigned MacBook Pros are expected to run on Apple’s next-generation M6 chips, promising even more power and efficiency. And if the timeline holds, these machines will follow the release of the M5-based MacBook Pros expected in early 2026.

In other words, the M5 generation is the warm-up — the M6 generation is the main event.

A Bigger Redesign on the Horizon

This all lines up with reports that Apple’s planning a major MacBook Pro overhaul for 2026. Samsung Display is reportedly gearing up to produce OLED panels for these laptops starting mid-2026, and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently confirmed that touch support will debut alongside the OLED transition.

Apple’s also said to be working on updates for the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac mini, plus two new external displays — so 2026 could be a massive year for the Mac lineup overall.

Apple once said “touchscreens don’t make sense on Macs.”
Now, it looks like the MacBook Pro of 2026 will prove that even Apple can change its mind.
