Apple is preparing to introduce OLED touchscreen versions of its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, with reported starting prices of $2,899 and $3,399. Multiple outlets cite Bloomberg reporting that Apple has “discussed” those figures, including a $400 premium over existing non-touchscreen models.
Beyond pricing, outlets report that the new laptops keep the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips used in current models and add touchscreen OLED displays. MacRumors and others also describe design and hardware changes such as thinner bezels, a Dynamic Island, and a redesigned hinge intended to keep the display steady when touched. They also say Apple updates the cooling system, and that the current mini-LED MacBook Pro models are expected to remain on sale alongside the new OLED versions.
Coverage framing differs mainly in emphasis. Some outlets focus on the shock of the higher starting cost, while others lead with product details ahead of the announcement and pre-order timing. Bloomberg’s report is the common thread, with AppleInsider and others adding commentary on who the device is for, while still relying on the same underlying expectations for the touchscreen OLED announcement.
