Apple introduced 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR and Touch. Developers will be able to test touch interaction in iOS and iPadOS apps directly on the laptop display, while updated system gesture APIs support Touch-specific experiences. Preorders are open in 30 countries and regions, with deliveries starting November 6. US pricing starts at $2,899.
macOS translates touches into clicks, so Apple says many existing apps work immediately. The announcement’s listed third-party apps with dedicated Touch support are promised later this year. Touch supports workflows such as drawing onscreen, manipulating edits and playing software instruments.
According to Apple, the tandem OLED display supports P3 and Adobe RGB, brightness up to 2,000 nits and adaptive refresh rates of 10–120Hz. The models use M5 Pro or M5 Max, with configurations reaching 128GB of unified memory and 16TB of storage.
Dynamic Island brings together Live Activities, Spotlight and Siri AI. However, Spotlight moves there only when Siri AI is available and enabled. The assistant remains in beta on macOS 27.2, requiring Apple Intelligence support and a supported language; feature availability varies by region.
