OLED Display Coming to M6 Pro/Max MacBook Pro, Not Base M6 Model

This is sad if true.

One of the big reasons to go to OLED is power saving. So to not offer the most power-efficient display paired with the most power-efficient CPU is pretty self-defeating and disingenuous.

in 2027.. Long wait and then they finally release microscopic 14" MacBook. I can't see even with 16" well enough.

I don't care about a touch screen... A $2500 "Pro" computer should not have a pathetic 512GB SSD in 2025.

That should be illegal.

Say hello to burn-in. As far as I'm concerned, OLED for a personal computer is a big no-no.

A touch screen on a laptop is a ridiculous bad UI. Apple should know better. A tandem OLED panel on an Apple laptop is something I would upgrade for. Let Microsoft & others put out this stupid touchscreen 💩… 😱

It better not have a notch.

Was expecting this. Only the top end models will get a redesign. Would be great if it has cellular too. Possible for that to happen since there were rumors regarding Apple testing cellular connectivity for M5 Pro MacBook Pros.

With all these changes, think it will be a fantastic MacBook. Expecting a $300 increase and the 14” will probably sell for $2299 and the 16” for $2799. Possible for it to launch in October/November 2026.

Why do you care? You’d rather have a big black margin @ the top of the screen to hide the camera, shrinking the usable display space? For me, that’s just silly. But who knows, Apple may grant your wish & put the camera under the display. 🤷

I had a Dell Inspiron all-in-one in 2009 with a touchscreen, and the first thing I did was disable the touch display, because every time a fly landed on the screen, it hit the “red cross” and closed all my programs.

Those flies must have been attracted to the tamarind sauce from your crispy spring rolls.

I would. The notch/island is distracting on a desktop or laptop screen, and can be pretty annoying when it hides stuff. That's one thing I dislike from the MacBook. I prefer the iMac/Studio Display model of camera in the bezels. Yes, I know, that would shrink a bit of display space, but not that much really, because the camera is tiny… Or Apple could just move the screen down a bit (increasing the top bezel a few millimeters and reducing the bottom one to compensate).
