Apple is expected to unveil touch-enabled OLED MacBook Pro models on October 28, according to Mark Gurman. The laptops reportedly keep existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips but may cost hundreds more than current versions.
Apple has issued macOS 27.2 beta 4 to registered developers, continuing rapid testing of the Golden Gate release cycle while macOS 26 Tahoe moves into long-term security maintenance.
macOS 27.2 Golden Gate adds functional touch gesture code to core apps — Safari, Notes, Photos, Quick Look — suggesting Apple is actively preparing for a touchscreen Mac, possibly the rumored MacBook Ultra due late 2026.
