OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro with Dynamic Island rumored for 2026

Bloomberg reports Apple’s next MacBook Pro lineup could add an OLED touchscreen and a Dynamic Island-style top bar on 14" and 16" models by the end of 2026, not in the March releases. The touch-friendly mode would swap interfaces for finger use (with pinch-to-zoom, fast scrolling, and easy-to-tap targets) while macOS Live Activities would bring Dynamic Island functionality; Apple says it won’t market the device as touch-first or aim to replace the iPad Pro.

Apple’s 2026 MacBook Pro: Dynamic Island, OLED, and New Touch Gestures

Bloomberg reports Apple’s 2026 MacBook Pro refresh will introduce a Dynamic Island–style status/camera cutout on the 14" and 16" models, switch from Mini LED to OLED displays, and add OS‑driven touchscreen gestures. The redesign replaces the traditional notch, features a camera cutout with software support (not Face ID), and is expected to launch later in 2026 (not in March), with devices codenamed K114 and K116.

Apple to shrink Dynamic Island on iPhone 18 Pro, not eliminate it

Bloomberg and multiple leaks say the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will keep a smaller Dynamic Island rather than removing it, with the Face ID dot illuminator moved under the display and camera miniaturization likely; a fully cutout-free iPhone is not expected until the 2027 20th-anniversary model.

Apple to Bring Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro with Dynamic Island in 2026

Bloomberg reports Apple is developing a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro that replaces the notch with an interactive Dynamic Island and updates macOS to be more touch-friendly, including on-screen controls and iPad-style gestures.

Apple’s Budget iPhone 17e primed for a March reveal with selective upgrades

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17e, the affordable follow-up to the 16e, during its March 4 event. The 17e would likely retain a 6.1-inch, 60Hz display and a single 48MP rear camera, with rumors on Dynamic Island vs. notch. It should use the A19 chip (potentially downclocked), ~8GB RAM, and gain MagSafe compatibility, plus the new C1X modem; pricing is not expected to change from the $599 starting point.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Leaks Hint Button Relocation and Bigger Battery

Rumors from a well-known leaker sketch Apple’s first foldable iPhone with relocated top-right volume buttons, a right-edge Touch ID power button and Camera Control, a smooth left edge, a punch-hole front camera with a smaller Dynamic Island, and a black “Air”-style rear camera plateau housing two cameras. Colors reportedly white plus one other. Internal design is said to be stacked to maximize display and battery space, with the biggest iPhone battery yet, a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover display, plus mentions of Touch ID, an A20 chip, and a C2 modem; launch anticipated alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup later this year.

iPhone 18 Pro Dynamic Island Narrowed to 13.5mm, Leaker Claims

A leaker claims the iPhone 18 Pro’s Dynamic Island will be about 13.5mm wide (roughly 35% narrower than the iPhone 17 Pro), with under-display Face ID moving only the flood illuminator so the pill-shaped cutout remains. Experts say the smaller Dynamic Island could persist through 2027, and Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September.

iPhone 18 Pro: No Left-Side Front Camera, Face ID May Move Under Display

Rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro would put the front camera on the far left are said to be misinformation; leaker Instant Digital suggests the infrared Face ID sensor could move under the display on the left, not the front camera. There’s no confirmed left-side camera, and while under-display tech is a long-term goal (potentially by 2027), the Dynamic Island isn’t going away anytime soon.

Rumors say the 2026 iPhone 17e will largely resemble the 16e (6.1-inch, single rear camera) but may switch from a notch to Dynamic Island, keep a 60Hz display with no always-on, potentially use a downclocked A19 with 8GB RAM, add MagSafe charging, and maintain a $599 starting price, with a launch expected in early 2026 (likely February) according to MacRumors reports.

Veteran Analyst Backs iPhone 18 Pro Front‑Panel Leak, Sees Smaller Dynamic Island

Respected display analyst Ross Young corroborates a leak about the iPhone 18 Pro’s front panel, arguing only the IR flood illuminator moves under the display while the dot projector, IR camera, and selfie camera stay within a smaller, centered Dynamic Island; this aligns with Instant Digital and Bloomberg reports and contradicts Wayne Ma’s top-left selfie camera hole-punch claim. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro line in September.

iPhone 18 Pro: Slimmed Dynamic Island, Front Sensor Remains Centered

A new leak suggests the iPhone 18 Pro will keep a centered Face ID layout with a smaller, pill-shaped Dynamic Island. The infrared flood illuminator may move under the display in the top-left, while the dot projector and infrared camera stay centered inside the reduced Dynamic Island and the selfie camera remains. This counters earlier talk of a top-left hole-punch camera, with September expected for the unveiling and corroboration from ShrimpApplePro.
