Laptop upgrade on the M6 MacBook Pro might finally materialize, presenting a potentially groundbreaking development.
In the world of tech, anticipation is building for Apple's next move, as rumours suggest a significant redesign for the MacBook Pro. According to reports from various tech news sources and industry analysts, Apple is planning to remove the notch from the MacBook Pro and replace it with a punch-hole camera, accompanied by the introduction of the Dynamic Island feature[1][2][3].
The current MacBook Pro’s notch, which houses the webcam, may be eliminated in favour of a punch-hole cutout. This change would give the screen a cleaner appearance and more usable display area[1][2][3].
The M6 MacBook Pro is also rumoured to adopt a tandem OLED display (replacing the current mini-LED), supplied likely by Samsung Display, that would offer enhanced brightness, contrast, and colour vibrancy[1][2][3].
The Dynamic Island, a software and hardware feature that debuted on iPhone 14 Pro to elegantly display notifications and interactions, may be adapted for MacBook Pro to show timers, notifications, and Live Activities, complementing macOS Tahoe’s support for Live Activities[1][2].
This redesign is expected to be a significant visual and functional overhaul, arriving after the M5 MacBook Pro launch, which itself is reportedly delayed and more evolutionary than revolutionary[1][3].
Notebook Check has suggested that the MacBook Pro webcam could be moved to a punch-hole, freeing up the space around it for the Dynamic Island to make its debut on Mac. Live Activities have landed on the Mac in the upcoming macOS Tahoe, and it is plausible that they could potentially be displayed in a Dynamic Island[1][2].
These plans, while not officially confirmed by Apple, are based on reports from analysts and leaks across multiple tech news sources as of August 2025[1][2][3]. Users can tap the Dynamic Island to make it full-screen, or use it to track their takeaway delivery, as it continues to be a feature in the iPhone 16 lineup.
