Recently, research firm Omdia shared a roadmap for 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models launching in 2026, revealing that these models will not feature a notch but instead a punch-hole camera at the top.
Removing the notch means laptops will have more pixels displayed on the screen, which may slightly increase the usable area of the macOS menu bar. Removing the notch will also make the screen look more seamless overall.
The source also indicated that future MacBook Pro models will shift from rounded, notched corners to rounded, punch-hole corners to accommodate the device's webcam. However, it's unclear whether the screen will have a hidden punch-hole camera underneath or simply be an extension of the iPhone's Dynamic Island design to the Mac.
The roadmap revealed by Omdia also aligns with previous reports suggesting Apple plans to overhaul the design of the MacBook Pro line in 2026, when OLED displays will be introduced on the laptops.
Apple will use the same OLED display technology as the iPad Pro introduced this year. MacBook Pro models with OLED displays are expected to be released in 2026.
The major update in 2026 will be the first time since 2021 that Apple notably introduced a notch on the MacBook Pro to house a 1080p webcam.
The current MacBook Pro M4 has a mini-LED display, and next year's M5 series is expected to maintain similar specifications. Therefore, many users are looking forward to upgrading to a MacBook Pro with a high-end OLED display.
