The third developer beta of macOS 27.2 introduces long-press animations for Dock icons, mirroring iOS behavior and confirming Apple’s preparation for a touch-enabled MacBook. This software update aligns with hardware rumors of a new high-end laptop featuring OLED displays, M5 Pro/Max chips, and a Dynamic Island, expected to launch in October or November.
Apple is expected to introduce M5 chips in some Macs starting in late 2025 or early 2026, with the MacBook Pro likely being the first to receive the upgrade, followed by other models like the MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro in 2026.
Leaked identifiers suggest Apple plans to release upgraded MacBook Pro models with M5 and M6 chips, along with a mysterious A18 Pro-powered MacBook, potentially launching later this year or next, with design and display improvements expected in future models.
Apple is reportedly planning a major redesign of the MacBook Pro, expected to launch in 2026, featuring the company's first OLED display in the lineup. The 2025 models will include upgraded M5 chips but maintain the current design and mini-LED screens. Delays in new display technology have pushed the comprehensive overhaul to 2026. Meanwhile, Apple's M4 models are set to release as planned, and the company faces delays in its lower-cost Vision Pro headset production.
