TechPowerUp, citing a report by Bloomberg, said the two devices are expected to arrive on October 27 or around that date. The touchscreen MacBook Pro had previously been rumored as a top-of-the-range model positioned above the current MacBook Pro lineup, equipped with a touchscreen OLED panel.
TechPowerUp also noted that a beta build of macOS 27.2 appeared to support the rumors, showing new long-press animations added to the Dock interface for tooltips.
