Apple’s MacBook Pro M6 with an OLED touchscreen is shaping up to be the company’s biggest refresh in years, and it’s now reportedly set to get the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.
The long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro, set to arrive at the end of 2026, will feature Dynamic Island with a hole-punch cutout instead of the usual notch, as found on the MacBook Pro M5 and MacBook Air M4. This comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, detailing sources with knowledge on the matter.
