Summary
Apple is rumored to launch a new ultra-premium MacBook Ultra as soon as October-December, adding touchscreen support and OLED panels to a laptop line above current MacBook Pros.
M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to power the first model, while Apple reportedly skips M6 Pro and M6 Max in favor of M7 Pro and M7 Max for a second-generation version in 2027.
Samsung Display is said to be supplying the OLED screens exclusively after a key mass-production milestone in May, while Apple has reportedly reinforced the hinge to limit screen bounce during touch use.
The redesign could also bring a thinner chassis and an iPhone-style Dynamic Island in place of the notch, though a global memory-chip shortage could still delay the debut.
Pricing is expected to land above today's MacBook Pro range, which starts at $2,499 for a 14-inch M5 Pro model and $2,999 for the 16-inch version after June's $300 increase.
