Thinner, stronger, touchable! Apple MacBook Pro will be heavily upgraded this year

[ Gearbest Technology News]Rumors indicate that Apple plans to redesign the MacBook Pro as early as this fall, which will be the first major innovation of the series in the past five years. The following are several possible upgrades that Gearbesthas learned about:

Thinner design

Many people aren't particularly excited about the news that the MacBook Pro may be getting thinner, especially after experiencing the 2016-2020 MacBook Pro models. someoneI believe that the new model should not become too thin and light, because the pursuit of extreme thinness and lightness is the positioning of MacBook Air. However, with the innovation of cooling solutions, it is entirely possible to make the body thinner without compromising performance.

OLED display

This is undoubtedly the most interesting rumor about the next generation MacBook Pro: equipped with an OLED display. Apple will introduce Tandem OLED technology to iPad Pro in 2024, and the same display technology is expected to be available in the new MacBook Pro. You can expect deeper blacks and more vibrant colors compared to current mini-LED panels. The latest news indicates that the production of these OLED panels will begin in the second quarter, so there is a high chance that the new MacBook Pro will be released before the end of this year.

Touch function

Nearly two decades after Apple first launched the MacBook Pro in 2006, the company may be giving up on something it has been doing for years: adding a touch screen to its Macs. Touch screens have been available on Windows laptops for a long time, and Apple has extensive experience with touch screens on the iPad and iPhone, but the company has never added a touch screen to the Mac.

The good news is that multiple reliable sources have stated that touch screens are coming to the Mac. How exactly that will happen isn't entirely clear, but we'll almost certainly see the first MacBook Pro with a touch screen as early as this fall.

In addition to the above three points, other rumors include smaller “notches” or hole punches, and the possibility of a “smart island” on the Mac. Thanks to Apple's recent progress in self-developed modems, the next generation MacBook Pro may also support cellular networks. Of course, new chips will also arrive as scheduled. The M6 ​​Pro and M6 Max are expected to debut with the new models, and they are likely to be the first chips to use the 2nm process technology.

The new MacBook Pro is expected to be released around October this year, but there are also rumors that it may be delayed to early 2027.
