Apple is reportedly preparing a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED display and touchscreen capabilities, with a release expected in October or November. Multiple outlets cite reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says Apple’s reengineering efforts make the upcoming models “significantly lighter” than current MacBook Pro configurations.
The reports describe a redesign focused on shrinking and rearranging internal components to improve portability. While Engadget and other outlets emphasize the lighter weight and near-term debut, MacRumors adds specific context about current weights and reiterates additional rumored changes, including thinner styling and Apple testing the devices with macOS 27.2.
Across the coverage, the “significantly lighter” claim is presented as a rumor rather than confirmed specifications. The outlets largely agree on the direction of the redesign—OLED plus touchscreen, a thinner/lighter build, and a launch window later this year—while differing in how much detail they provide about the exact configuration and timing.
