MacBook Pro OLED could get Dynamic Island with this rumored feature


Apple's 2026 MacBook Pro might drop the notch for a hole-punch cutout, complete with a Dynamic Island

It turns out that we could be in for a design change, as a new report from research firm Omdia suggests the company will ditch the notch at the top for a hole-punch cutout, potentially enabling the Dynamic Island. In its notes, the research firm says that it expects Apple to switch from a notch to house the FaceTime camera to a hole-punch cutout, while retaining the rounded corners at the top. It could be helpful to track export progress of a video, timers, and have control over media right in the menu bar if Dynamic Island does come to the Mac, but we’ll have to wait and see what Apple decides to do before getting our hopes up.
