Apple reportedly plans three MacBook Pro upgrades for October
Apple may be planning a redesigned MacBook Pro for October 2026.
The computer could get an OLED screen that shows darker blacks and stronger contrast.
The new screen might also help the battery last longer, but that is not certain.
It may be the first Mac with a touchscreen.
People could touch the screen when useful, but the keyboard and trackpad would still be the main controls.
Apple may remove the camera notch that has been used on recent MacBooks.
In its place, there could be a small hole-punch camera opening.
Software might use that opening in a way similar to Dynamic Island on some iPhones, but Apple has not confirmed these reports.
The redesigned MacBook Pro could arrive as early as October 2026, though Apple has not confirmed the timing.
A reported OLED display could deliver deeper blacks, stronger contrast, and possibly better battery life.
The laptop may become the first Mac to support touch input through software changes in macOS 27.
Touchscreen use would reportedly supplement, rather than replace, the keyboard and trackpad.
Apple may replace the MacBook’s notch with a hole-punch camera cutout and bring Dynamic Island-style integration to macOS.
