Redesigned MacBook Pro with OLED to feature ‘significantly lighter’ design: report
Apple is expected to launch a redesigned MacBook Pro by the end of November 2026, featuring the first touchscreen display and Tandem OLED technology. The new models will be significantly lighter than their predecessors due to internal component miniaturization and rearrangement. These devices will be powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, as Apple skips the M6 family to accelerate the M7 launch.
