Apple's touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro will not be noticeably thinner than today's model, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Gurman walked back his own reporting this week, posting on X that he does not think the laptop will be "significantly thinner in the end." He had previously said the OLED MacBook Pro would ship with "thinner and lighter" frames, and in November 2025 he described the touchscreen model as getting "a thinner chassis." His October 2026 newsletter now frames the change as making the machine "significantly lighter," with no mention of a slimmer body. The laptop is still expected to launch later this month.
The walk-back is a reminder that even well-sourced supply-chain reporting can shift as a product nears launch and engineering tradeoffs get locked in. Thinner and lighter sound like a matching pair in marketing copy, but they are different manufacturing problems - one is about chassis depth, the other about materials and battery weight. Apple appears to have solved the second without touching the first.
If the OLED MacBook Pro ends up the same thickness as the current model, the headline feature will just be the screen - which, after a two-year buildup of leaks, might be the most Apple outcome imaginable.
