Reports suggest that Apple is working on introducing OLED displays to the MacBook Pro series, with an expected launch in late 2026 or early 2027. However, recent rumors indicate that not all MacBook Pro models may receive this OLED upgrade.
Potential Design Changes and Features
Rumors also hint at a new design for the upcoming MacBook Pro, including a thinner chassis and the possibility of incorporating a touchscreen display.

While the M5 Pro and M5 Max versions are expected to launch in the first half of 2026 with the existing design, rumors also indicate a new MacBook Air model equipped with the M5 chip. Apple is likely to refresh the Mac mini with the M5 and M5 Pro, along with introducing a Mac Studio featuring an M5 Mac and M5 Ultra chip.
The launch of the M6 is anticipated to begin with an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro model.
Implications of OLED Display for M6 MacBook Pro Models
If the OLED display is indeed introduced, it could serve as a significant selling point for users considering an upgrade to high-end MacBook Pro models. However, the OLED upgrade may be limited to premium models initially, potentially leading to a wait for other models to receive the same technology.
Personal Thoughts and Reactions
While Apple's decision to introduce OLED displays in higher-end models aligns with their typical strategy, it may leave users who prefer more affordable models feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment.
