MacBook Pro with OLED could get a touchscreen display in 2026


A new rumor says Apple is exploring adding the feature after it's been requested for years

The laptop is expected to switch to using OLED panels in late 2026, and according to a new rumor from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that also means gaining touch sensitivity. It’ll mark the first time an Apple laptop ships with a touchscreen, something the company has fervently avoided doing to draw wider distinctions between the Mac and iPad. Kuo says that the first MacBook Pro with a touch screen will enter mass production by late 2026, which likely means the laptop will be released near the tail-end of next year or in early 2027.
