Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its most ambitious laptop ever, a 'MacBook Ultra' that will introduce a touchscreen and OLED technology to the Mac for the first time. This new flagship, expected to debut in late 2026, would sit above the current MacBook Pro as a super-premium tier.
The move signals a major reversal of Apple's long-standing refusal to add touch support to macOS, following years of observing user habits on the iPad Pro. Reports from Bloomberg suggest the 'Ultra' will coincide with the launch of the M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, effectively creating a three-tier laptop strategy: the budget-friendly MacBook Neo, the professional MacBook Pro, and the 'ultimate' MacBook Ultra.
