Apple MacBook Pro will receive a new upgrade with six major improvements or debut in 2027

[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, according to foreign media reports, Apple is expected to soon release MacBook Pro models equipped with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. However, some people suggest that consumers may be able to skip this update because more significant changes are already brewing, and it is expected that MacBook Pro will usher in a comprehensive redesign at the end of 2026 or 2027.

Since the launch of models equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips in 2021, the industrial design of MacBook Pro has not changed significantly. As for the next-generation reimagined work, many new features have been rumored:

OLED display: Multiple sources, including Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, pointed out that future MacBook Pros will use OLED screens to replace the existing mini-LED backlit LCD screens, thereby bringing richer colors, higher contrast and true black display effects.

1.OLED display: Multiple sources, including Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, pointed out that future MacBook Pros will use OLED screens to replace the existing mini-LED backlit LCD screens, thereby bringing richer colors, higher contrast and true black display effects.

2.Touch function: Even more eye-catching is that this OLED screen is expected to support touch operations on the MacBook Pro for the first time, allowing users to input using a combination of fingers, keyboard and trackpad. This marks a potential breakthrough for Apple in traditional interaction methods.

3.Dynamic Island: Gurman also revealed that the new model will cancel the “bangs” groove at the top of the screen and adopt a “smart island” design similar to that on the iPhone. This will further narrow the screen borders and use the area around the camera to display information such as battery prompts and headphone connection status.

4.M6 Pro and M6 Max chips: By then, the new high-end MacBook Pro will be equipped with more advanced M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. It is reported that these chips are expected to be manufactured using TSMC's advanced 2-nanometer process technology, which is expected to bring more significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency than conventional iterations.

5.Thinner design: Thanks to changes in components such as the OLED screen, the body of the new MacBook Pro is expected to become thinner and lighter. There is no news yet that Apple will cancel practical ports such as HDMI, MagSafe or SD card slot again in pursuit of thinness and lightness.

6.Built-in cellular network (cellular data connection): Apple is said to be considering adding built-in cellular networking capabilities to future Macs. If the plan comes true, MacBook Pro may integrate Apple's C1X or future C2 modem to directly support 5G/LTE networks and get rid of dependence on iPhone personal hotspots.

It should be pointed out that the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro expected to be updated in the same period (which may be equipped with the standard M6 chip) will not have most of the above-mentioned high-end features.

Regarding the release time, there are still variables. Considering that Apple released the M2 Pro/Max model in January 2023 and quickly launched the M3 Pro/Max model in October of the same year, there is a possibility that models equipped with M5 Pro/Max chips may arrive soon, while models equipped with major updates such as OLED screens will follow later this year or next year. However, based on a comprehensive analysis of existing information, 2027 may be a more reliable expectation.
