MacBook Pro

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said on his first Power On podcast that Apple will likely unveil its long-rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays in October or November. The claim points to Apple's most significant MacBook redesign in years, bringing touch input and OLED screens to the Pro lineup, and tech watchers are debating what the change could mean for the Mac.

Apple products are discounted in a new round of Prime Day deals, with offers on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, MacBook Pro, and HomeKit smart home accessories. Apple Watch bands are listed from $7. Shoppers are comparing prices across retailers as the sale event continues, with more Apple discounts expected to appear through the event.

Apple's MacBook Pro lineup is reportedly approaching a redesign featuring OLED displays, with the current M5 Pro model seeing price cuts of $600. The discount suggests retailers are clearing stock ahead of the redesigned machines, which are expected to arrive in 2026.
