- A recently redesigned MacBook Pro was rumored to arrive in 2026
- If leaks are accurate it has an OLED screen and a thinner chassis
- This redesign will also be driven by Apple’s M6 Silicon
Finally, it could happen, the folk: The long -awaited OLED MacBook is finally on the way if new claims from the famous Apple Leaker Mark Gurman must believe.
Gurman has claimed in his latest power on the Bloomberg newsletter that Apple is planning a major overhaul for MacBook Pro in 2026, which will deliver several remarkable changes and boss among them is the introduction of a Tandem OLED screen designed by Samsung, the same type seen on last year’s new iPad Pro 13-inch.
It can also ditch ‘notch’ on the webcam screen in favor of a floating ‘hole cut’ camera – perhaps adopt something more similar to the dynamic island seen on modern iPhones.
However, that’s not all: Gurman’s sources also state that the new MacBook Pro will contain a thinner design than previous models stating that Apple had “once hoped to release this new version in 2025”.
In other words, next year’s MacBook Pro could look very different from the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro, we reviewed back in November. But how does Apple plan to make its pro-grade laptop even more compact without sacrificing power? The answer could be with the M6 chip.

Yes, Gurman also believes that these next Gen MacBook Pros will come with the M6 chip (presumably also with the M6 Pro and M6 Max versions) -which suggests we can expect M5 MacBooks this year, Without OLED upgrade.
The M6 chips will be the first portable processors from Apple to use Chip Fabricator TSMC’s new 2NM process (along with the expected A20 chips for iPhones). The 2NM process is expected to bring new developments in both performance and effect efficiency, which may explain how Apple expects the M6 chips to run at a high -performance level, even in a thinner MacBook.
As for MacBook Air, there is no news about any potential M5 or M6 variants, but we must assume that they will be in the works; After all, the new M4 MacBook Air did not arrive on stage until several months after the M4 chip landed in the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro Models. However, an earlier report we covered claims that an OLED MacBook Air is still on its way, although it will not use the same tandem OLED panel as Pro and probably arrives in 2027 or later – something that would adapt to Apple’s existing release cadence if OLED MacBook Pro actually lands at the end of 2026.
