Summary
A fall MacBook Ultra is rumored to debut as Apple’s first touchscreen Mac, adding OLED, Dynamic Island and a thinner, lighter redesign than the current MacBook Pro.
Bloomberg reports Apple scrapped M6 Pro and M6 Max plans and is accelerating high-end M7 development, leaving this year’s model expected to use existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
The redesign would replace the MacBook Pro notch with a hole-punch camera and software-based Dynamic Island, which could also serve as a home for Siri AI in macOS.
A cellular option remains uncertain, but Apple has previously explored bringing mobile connectivity to the Mac, potentially using its second-generation C2 modem planned for faster speeds.
