We’ve long been expecting a major redesign of the MacBook Pro this year, with an OLED screen one of the key features. However, a Bloomberg report last month suggested that the launch might be delayed into early next year.

We still don’t have any clarity on that, but a new supply chain report does seem to suggest that Apple’s manufacturing partners are now gearing up for production …

A new M6 MacBook Pro is expected to offer way more than a performance boost. We’re expecting to see the first major redesign of the machine in many years.

The redesign is expected to include a lighter and thinner form factor, a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, an OLED screen, and reportedly a touchscreen. There’s also been a suggestion that there may be a cellular option.

Existing MacBook Pro models still use an IPS LCD screen, albeit with mini-LED backlighting creating greater control and contrast than previous generations. A shift to OLED will bring MacBooks in line with the improved screen technology already used in iPhone and iPads.
