It is reported that Apple’s new generation MacBook Pro will undergo a major facelift that is rare in recent years. In addition to the introduction of a touch screen and the replacement of an OLED panel for the first time, a new upgrade highlight has been exposed, that is, it is “lighter.” This is undoubtedly good news for users who carry laptops to commute every day.

Apple's first touch-enabled MacBook Pro will become its highest-end notebook. The actual name has not yet been revealed. Whether it will continue to use MacBook Pro or adopt a new name, there have been reports of "MacBook Ultra". In addition to adding touch operations, this rumored new phone will also be replaced with an OLED panel to bring better display effects, and is expected to introduce a dynamic island design.

Not only touch, OLED, the new MacBook Pro is slimmer again

The latest news from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman brings another important point. The weight of the new touch MacBook Pro will be significantly reduced. Apple has redesigned the internal structure and made the entire notebook easier to carry through the miniaturization and reconfiguration of components.

For reference, the current 16-inch MacBook Pro weighs about 2.2 kilograms at most, compared to about 1.5 kilograms for the 15-inch MacBook Air. As for how much relief the new opportunities will have? Mark Gurman did not disclose the exact number, only describing the new machine as "significantly lighter" than the current version.

There is also an update on the time to market. Mark Gurman has previously said that the touch MacBook Pro has a chance to debut as early as October, but in the latest report, he further pointed out that the new machine is being tested with macOS 27.2 and is expected to be launched next month.

Apple’s new trendy iPad mini 8 is also on the list

On the other hand, the new iPad mini 8 is also ready for launch and may be launched between the end of October and November. It will feature major upgrades, such as a better screen, faster chips, and a FaceTime camera that has been changed to a horizontal configuration, so that the lens position during video calls is more consistent with horizontal usage habits. However, Mark Gurman did not specifically mention the previously rumored waterproof design this time.

Current news also indicates that Apple may hold a new product launch event on October 13. The format is still unclear. The main focus is expected to be on smart home products, including the first smart home hub, the new HomePod mini 2, and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K.
