Reports Point to 2027 Overhaul of Apple’s High-End MacBooks With OLED, Touch and M6 Chips

A global RAM squeeze is driving a slower rollout that favors Apple’s highest-end laptops.

Overview

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is planning a major MacBook redesign and may rebrand the top tier as “MacBook Ultra.”
The display is expected to switch to OLED and add touch, with a hole‑punch camera and a Dynamic Island interface that frames status and alerts around the cutout.
Apple is preparing M6, M6 Pro and M6 Max processors built on TSMC’s 2nm process, which should deliver bigger gains in speed and battery life than recent cycles.
Gurman now sees early 2027 as the likelier launch window because industry RAM supplies are tight and could slow production plans.
Not every model is expected to get all of these changes at first, and Apple is still exploring built‑in cellular for Macs using its in‑house modem work.
