With reports indicating that a future model may receive a noteworthy overhaul, Apple may be preparing for a significant revamp of its MacBook Pro portfolio. An even smaller OLED panel that eliminates the notch may be a feature of the upcoming MacBook Pro.
A few months ago, the Cupertino-based behemoth began selling its 2025 MacBook Air with the M4 chipset. According to reports, the successor is being developed using the faster and more recent Apple M5 processor. The most potent versions of this chip, such as the Apple M5 Pro and M5 Max, are likely to be found in the more expensive MacBook Pro. The company might potentially make the MacBook Pro thinner and lighter than its predecessor in addition to adding a newer chip.
However, there have been recent reports that the MacBook Pro will sport a new OLED panel. Thus, we can anticipate better contrast, broader viewing angles, and truer blacks. This could potentially reduce the power consumption of the MacBook Pro’s panels.
According to the Omdia story, the notch on the upcoming MacBook Pro will also be updated, with a new punch hole cutout for the webcam in place of the previous huge notch. This suggests that the latest models may have Dynamic Island-like features. For the time being, take this news with a grain of salt because it is still an unverified report.
