New MacBook Pro redesign gets exciting launch timing update

Apple reportedly plans to launch new Home products on October 13. And according to Mark Gurman, it sounds like the rumored MacBook Pro redesign will arrive shortly after.

Redesigned MacBook Pro with touchscreen to be introduced in October or November, per Mark Gurman

Today Bloomberg launched a new weekly podcast: ‘Power On with Mark Gurman.’ In the inaugural episode, Gurman provides a launch timing update for Apple’s rumored new MacBook Pro redesign with a touchscreen, OLED, and more.

Here’s what he said:

Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October. It could slip to November, but as early as October. And Apple is testing it internally using macOS 27.2, which is a beta that they’ve already put out to developers in recent weeks. So this thing is approaching.

Apple often launches new Macs in the late October-early November window. It sounds like that’s exactly what’s being planned for this new MacBook Pro (or MacBook Ultra) device.

We’ve long been expecting and hoping for a fall launch, but Gurman previously cautioned that the product could slip into early 2027. Now that October has arrived, today’s new update is a great indication that the model is on track to launch soon.

And based on Gurman’s other reporting, it sounds like we could see several new Apple products launch within a few weeks of each other.

A new Apple TV 4K, ‘HomePad’, and HomePod mini are rumored for October 13, with Macs following in late October or early November. And that’s all in addition to the highly anticipated iPhone Duo, which ships October 23.
