"Apparently, the first MacBook Pro with an OLED display, which is rumored to be coming next year, will become the first MacBook Pro to have a touchscreen as well. The panel will be manufactured by Samsung and will use on-cell touch technology. Mass production of this model will start by late 2026, according to the analyst. Kuo writes that this "shift appears to reflect Apple's long-term observation of iPad user behavior, indicating that in certain scenarios, touch controls can enhance both productivity and the overall user experience.""
"Unfortunately, there are no further details. Would this MacBook feature a 360° hinge, which would allow the screen to flip all the way over and work as a large tablet? Would it support the Apple Pencil stylus? That's TBD. Apple also has an entry-level MacBook on the way, which is said to use an Apple A18 Pro chipset (from the iPhone 16 Pro series) and would target a $700 price tag. That first-generation model won't have a touchscreen."
Apple plans a MacBook Pro with an OLED display that will include a touchscreen using Samsung-made on-cell touch panels. Mass production is expected to begin by late 2026. The move reflects long-term observation of iPad user behavior, suggesting touch controls can improve productivity and user experience in certain scenarios. It is unclear whether the model will have a 360° hinge or support Apple Pencil. An entry-level MacBook using an A18 Pro chip targeting about $700 will not have a touchscreen initially. A second-generation affordable MacBook in 2027 might add touch, still under consideration at Cupertino.
