M6 MacBook Pro may switch to OLED and add touch input
Apple is reportedly preparing a refreshed MacBook Pro lineup with OLED displays and touch input, targeting the 14-inch and 16-inch models. Bloomberg says the new devices will also add a Mac version of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island interface at the top center of the display.
According to the report, the Dynamic Island on the MacBook Pro would center around the camera cutout and serve as a software surface for alerts and live controls. Bloomberg describes the Mac implementation as focused on camera plus interface rather than additional sensors used on iPhones.
The touch feature is expected to come with interface changes in macOS to make controls easier to use with a finger. Bloomberg notes examples like touch-first menus appearing around the point of contact and larger, easier-to-tap controls when interacting with the menu bar. Standard touch behaviors like scrolling and pinch-to-zoom are also mentioned.
Bloomberg says these MacBook Pros are not part of Apple’s early-March product rollout and are instead slated for release closer to the end of 2026. The report also repeats the internal codenames K114 and K116 , and says Apple declined to comment. Back in October, the same source already connected these codenames to M6 series chips.
Cheaper Macbook in March, Pro series later
The same source recently detailed Apple’s plans for its March event, which reportedly include more affordable laptops . However, the MacBook Pro update is not expected to be part of that product launch. Instead, those waiting for new high-end Apple systems should look to late 2026, with a possible shift into early 2027.
