The company is readying a revamped MacBook Pro with a touch display for late 2026 or early 2027, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The new machines, code-named K114 and K116, will also have thinner and lighter frames and run the M6 line of chips.

In making the move, Apple is following the rest of the computing industry, which embraced touchscreen laptops more than a decade ago. The company has taken years to formulate its approach to the market, aiming to improve on current designs.

Bloomberg News first reported in January 2023 that Apple was working on a touchscreen MacBook Pro.

The new laptops will feature displays with OLED technology — short for organic light-emitting diode — the same standard used in iPhones and iPad Pros, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the products haven't been announced. It will mark the first time that this higher-end, thinner system is used in a Mac.

A spokesperson for Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple declined to comment.

Apple shares pared their losses Thursday after Bloomberg reported on the plans.
