Rumors suggest the options for the new laptops will be the same as the current crop but won’t replace them. Rather, they’ll exist as premium options alongside the existing models. It’s not clear whether they’ll offer the same RAM and storage tiers, however.
Gurman has previously reported that the touchscreen MacBook Pro will offer several upgrades over the current model, including:
- An OLED display with thinner bezels;
- A new design that’s “significantly” lighter than the current crop;
- A new hinge that doesn’t move when tapped; and
- A new cooling system that improves airflow through the hinge.
The new laptops will also feature a new version of macOS Golden Gate that “includes dial-like menus that appear around a user’s finger.” However, Gurman says Apple will market the touchscreen as an option rather than a replacement for the trackpad.
In a follow-up post on X, Gurman wrote that Mac fans should “Get excited” for the new laptop. And believe me, we are.
