Apple is expected to debut one of its biggest MacBook Pro updates ever late this year, following last month's refresh. The overhaul features OLED display technology—the first use of OLED in a Mac, according to sources including Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg. OLED delivers true blacks, superior contrast, and more vibrant colors versus mini-LED, as each pixel can turn off completely.

Bloomberg reports the new MacBook Pro will introduce Apple's first touchscreen Mac. macOS receives touch optimizations, dynamically enlarging menu bar items for finger use, plus support for pinch-to-zoom and faster scrolling.

The notch gives way to a hole-punch camera cutout with Dynamic Island, akin to the iPhone. Apple aims for a thinner design, powered by efficient M6 processors on 2nm architecture that boost performance and efficiency. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman notes the M6 models will surpass current M5 Pro and Max variants, possibly rebranded as MacBook Ultra, launching in October or November alongside existing M5 models.
