Reports: Apple has not announced a redesigned MacBook Pro. The details below come from 9to5Mac's summary of Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, published October 4, 2026.
According to 9to5Mac, the newsletter says the new MacBook Pros are "significantly lighter" than their predecessors. The newsletter says Apple reengineered the machine's interior by miniaturizing parts and rearranging components to make the computer easier to carry. It notes that the current 16-inch MacBook Pro weighs as much as 4.8 pounds, compared with 3.3 pounds for the 15-inch MacBook Air, so any meaningful reduction would be immediately noticeable. Gurman does not say exactly how much lighter the new model will be.
9to5Mac also relays that the newsletter repeats the expectation that the redesigned MacBook Pro will debut "by next month." According to the outlet, it would be the first MacBook with a touchscreen and the first with Tandem OLED, and it should use the current M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, with Apple skipping the higher-end M6 family in favor of accelerating the M7 launch.
Timing, chips and design details are reported expectations, not Apple announcements, and could change.
