Apple has a new MacBook Ultra rumored to launch this fall as part of its expanding \u2018Ultra\u2019 lineup. Here are six new features expected with the MacBook Ultra.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: New design that\u2019s thinner, lighter than MacBook Pro<\/h2>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Bloomberg says Apple\u2019s new MacBook model is a \u201ctotal redesign\u201d that\u2019s thinner and lighter than the current MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

MacBook Ultra was originally expected to launch under the MacBook Pro branding, but with an all-new design. It\u2019s always possible that could still happen, but current rumors point to \u2018Ultra\u2019 branding.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know if ports will be reduced compared to MacBook Pro, but that\u2019s very possible. I\u2019d be surprised if Apple pushed the \u2018thin, light\u2019 angle too far though, as MacBook Ultra will likely attract a lot of Pro users.<\/p>\n

#2: M6 chip family<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new family of M6 chips is coming later this year, and it looks like MacBook Ultra could be the first model to feature them.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re expecting larger-than-usual updates with the M6 generation, as it\u2019s being built on a new 2nm process with other advancements also coming to the iPhone\u2019s A20 Pro chip.<\/p>\n

At a minimum, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips will likely be available in MacBook Ultra. But it\u2019s possible the standard M6 chip will be an option too.<\/p>\n

#3: Touchscreen, the first in a Mac<\/h2>\n

\"OLED<\/p>\n

The Mac is getting touch support. And the MacBook Ultra will be the first model with a touchscreen.<\/p>\n

Per Mark Gurman, Apple is adding touch to the Mac as a secondary input method\u2014not a replacement for keyboard and trackpad.<\/p>\n

macOS Golden Gate comes with several optimizations to provide more touch-friendly controls that also work well for anyone without a touch screen.<\/p>\n

#4: OLED display<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every iPhone now has an OLED display, and the iPad Pro gained a gorgeous tandem OLED in 2024 too. But the Mac has been an outlier\u2014until now.<\/p>\n

The MacBook Ultra is set to adopt OLED, the first Mac to feature the display technology.<\/p>\n
