Reports about Apple’s upcoming MacBooks have been doing rounds for quite some time. The Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to launch various new MacBooks ranging from a budget friendly MacBook model to a higher-end device with OLED display and touchscreen. Recent leaks about the upcoming MacBook Pro suggest that the next major upgrade, expected to arrive in 2026, may not just be about raw performance gains. With AI-focused laptops gaining momentum across the industry, Apple appears keen to future-proof its flagship machines with a redesigned chassis, next-generation Apple Silicon, and features that could blur the line between Macs and iPads even further. While Apple has not confirmed anything officially, multiple reports now point toward a bold M6 MacBook Pro refresh. Here is all you need to know.

M6 MacBook Pro redesign could bring OLED, touchscreen display
According to recent leaks from tipsters, including YouTuber AppleTrack, Apple is working on a redesigned Apple MacBook Pro powered by the upcoming M6 chip, with a launch window tipped for mid to late 2026. The new models are said to come in slightly tweaked 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch sizes and could feature a thinner and lighter chassis compared to the current generation.
One of the most talked-about changes is the display. The M6 MacBook Pro is expected to move to tandem OLED panels, similar to what Apple introduced on the latest iPad Pro. This could translate into higher brightness, deeper blacks, and improved contrast. Leaks also suggest Apple may finally retire the notch in favour of a punch-hole camera cutout, possibly with rounded corners or a Dynamic Island-style interface. Touchscreen support is another rumoured addition, a move that could significantly change how users interact with macOS for creative and productivity tasks.
M6 processor expected to power the device
The next-generation MacBook Pro is expected to run on the yet-to-be-launched M6 processor, which is expected to be built on an advanced 2nm architecture. Early expectations point to at least a 15 percent jump in CPU performance alongside up to 30 percent better power efficiency compared to the M5 series. These gains could make a noticeable difference for professionals working with video editing, 3D rendering, and on-device AI workloads, while also improving sustained performance and battery life.
Another major rumour surrounding the M6 MacBook Pro is built-in 5G connectivity. If Apple adds cellular support, it would allow users to stay connected without relying on external hotspots or tethering. While pricing details remain unknown, such a significant upgrade cycle suggests the next MacBook Pro lineup could sit firmly at the premium end.
Whether these rumours are true or not, remains to be seen. But what we do know is that the excitement around what Apple has in store for us can be felt anytime a new leak around the MacBook surfaces. And as we inch closer to 2026, more and more leaks are expected in the upcoming months.
