"The next generation of Apple's MacBook Pro laptops could be the first to feature a touchscreen display, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The change could apply to OLED MacBook Pro models that are expected to enter production by late 2026, Kuo reported on X, and will incorporate a "touch panel using on-cell touch technology.""
"With the release of iPadOS 26, the iPad took a big step towards being a computer - maybe now it's the MacBook's turn to embrace the touchscreen interface an entire generation has been weaned upon. "This shift appears to reflect Apple's long-term observation of iPad user behavior," Kuo said, suggesting that adding touch controls could boost productivity for MacBook users in "certain scenarios.""
Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the next-generation MacBook Pro could include a touchscreen display, targeting OLED models expected to enter production by late 2026 and using on-cell touch technology. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously noted Apple's interest in touchscreen MacBooks and predicted a possible first touch-panel Mac as part of a MacBook Pro update. Gurman expects future iPads and Macs to share touchscreens, vibrant OLED displays, apps, and similar user interfaces. iPadOS 26 advances the iPad toward a computer-like experience, and Kuo suggests touch controls could improve productivity for MacBook users in specific scenarios.
