14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models could shift from Mini LED to OLED displays with touch support.
A smaller Dynamic Island-style cutout and a redesigned touch-optimised interface are reportedly in development.
India pricing may start around Rs 2,15,000 for the M6 Pro variant and go up to Rs 3,65,000 for the M6 Max model.
Apple is reportedly preparing a massive overhaul for its MacBook Pro lineup. As per the reports, the upcoming MacBook Pro lineup could get a touchscreen variant this year. This comes after a Bloomberg report claims that the upcoming models could introduce a touch-enabled display alongside a redesigned on-screen interface built specifically for finger input.
SurveyFurthermore, the new MacBook Pro may feature a centrally placed Dynamic Island-style cutout at the top of the screen, though it may be smaller than the version seen on recent iPhones. Apple is also making a responsive interface that adjusts based on touch interactions, surfacing contextual controls around selected elements and enlarging key buttons to improve usability.
Both the 14-inch and 16-inch variants are said to get OLED panels, a big shift from Mini LED panels. Despite adding touch support, Apple is believed to be focusing on maintaining the traditional Mac experience rather than turning the device into an iPad-like hybrid.
MacBook Pro release timeline:
The refreshed models are tipped to launch toward the end of 2026 and could debut with next-generation M6 Pro and M6 Max chips built on a 2nm process. This would follow a near-term update featuring M5 chips, suggesting Apple is planning consecutive upgrades to its flagship laptops.
MacBook Pro price in India (Expected)
While it is too early to speculate on pricing, reports indicate that the Apple M6 Pro MacBook Pro (14-inch) could be priced at Rs 2,15,000. For reference, current M4 Pro models in India start at Rs 1,99,900.
On the other hand, the Apple M6 Max MacBook Pro (16-inch) could cost Rs 3,65,000. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max Chip is currently priced at ₹3,19,900 on the Apple India Online Store.
