Apple insiders are increasingly focused on a possible M6 MacBook Pro overhaul slated for late 2026. The reported upgrade would bring a thinner, lighter chassis, OLED screens, touchscreen support and a Dynamic Island cutout in place of the current notch. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, long a key source on Apple's roadmap, has outlined these changes in recent reports. They suggest the company's most significant laptop redesign since 2021, as the Cupertino firm looks to narrow the gap between its iPhone and pro laptop lines. Nothing is confirmed until Tim Cook makes it official onstage, however.
The current MacBook Pro range runs on M4 and M5 chips, with mini-LED displays and the notch introduced five years ago. Gurman first reported a 'total redesign' last autumn. He says Apple aims to cut thickness and weight without compromising cooling. That is widely seen as a reference to the butterfly-keyboard era that drew strong criticism before 2021. Ports are expected to remain. The reporter behind the original scoop doubts Apple will again prioritise slimness over performance.
