Apple is expected to discontinue its non-touchscreen MacBook Pro offerings as it rolls out additional touch-enabled versions. Multiple outlets cite Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says Apple has not officially confirmed any change, but is likely to move away from current non-touch configurations in the future.
The reports connect the shift to Apple’s recent reveal of a new MacBook Pro line with touchscreen and a PRO/OLED display. Phandroid and NDTV highlight that Apple introduced touchscreen MacBook Pros with deeper-black, brighter display characteristics, and that the new models are scheduled for release on November 6 in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. AppleInsider adds that an earlier non-touch “premium” tier is expected to be eliminated when Apple introduces second-generation touchscreen models in 2027.
While the overall direction is consistent—more touch models, fewer non-touch variants—outlets differ on timing details and processor expectations, including references to second-generation touch models next year and specific chips mentioned for future configurations.
