Apple will launch first touchscreen OLED MacBook soon, report says
Coming out by 2025
Starting 2024, Apple will reportedly start using microLEDs for some of its devices, particularly in the Apple Watch lineup. Though the technology is coming to smaller devices first, some of the company’s larger devices are getting an update, too. A MacBook coming in the future will reportedly ship with OLED screens.
According to renowned Apple leaker Ming-Chi Kuo on Twitter, Apple will ship the first MacBook with an OLED screen by 2024. Using the new display will open the series up to more form factors and functionalities. Kuo notes “thinner and lighter” frames as examples of a future MacBook lineup. Currently, the company ships some of its MacBooks (and the iPad Pro 12) with Mini LED screens.
Additionally, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is also planning to incorporate touchscreen displays for an upcoming MacBook Pro. However, as opposed to the first OLED MacBook coming out in 2024, the first touchscreen MacBook, which will also use OLED technology, will come in 2025 at the earliest.
If anything, both the first OLED and the first touchscreen MacBook are still at its earlier stages of development. There’s no clear indication that either or both devices will actually launch.
Notably, the late Steve Jobs once rejected the idea of a touchscreen MacBook, calling the idea “ergonomically terrible.” Tim Cook’s Apple has perceptively gone against Jobs’ former statements, releasing products that the latter vehemently argued against.
Today, a lot of notebooks and hybrid devices use touchscreen displays. Though some can argue against the usability of the feature on notebook form factors, the feature is here to stay. Will Apple follow in the same footsteps?

TECNO is making its MEGABOOK lineup a little more flexible.
At IFA ShowStoppers 2026, the uprising tech brand unveils the MEGABOOK T15 360 with two more laptops and three phones tagging along.
One laptop, four modes
The MEGABOOK T15 360 series is the brand’s first laptop lineup with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen display.
By that, it’s more than just a conventional laptop. It can also be a tablet or a portable display via Tent mode or Stand mode. This added feat makes everything more versatile as TECNO’s existing laptops are only limited to the clamshell form factor.
Both models feature a 15.6-inch screen with the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. As alluded earlier, it’s a touchscreen laptop consisting of 10-point multitouch points. There’s also optional MPP 2.0 active pen support if you want to write or draw directly on the display.
So what’s the difference?
Well, the regular T15 360 gets a Full HD 60Hz panel with 320 nits brightness.
Meanwhile, the Pro version takes it up a notch with a faster 120Hz refresh rate, sharper 2.5K display resolution, full 100% sRGB coverage, and higher 350 nits brightness.
Both laptops come in an all-metal chassis made using CNC machining. The convertible design doesn’t come at the expense of a more conventional laptop build.
Performance uncompromised
TECNO isn’t treating the T15 360 as a lightweight convertible that has to compromise on performance.
You can get up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, paired with an LPDDR5X RAM. The storage is based from PCIe M.2 2280 SSD — with select models having a secondary M.2 slot for utmost expansion.
There’s also a 70Wh battery plus support for a speedy 65W PD GaN charger. Connectivity includes up to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, alongside seven built-in ports.
Practical stuff were neither forgotten. There’s a backlit keyboard with a dedicated number pad, a fingerprint reader underneath its power button, dual speakers with DTS Ultra, a webcam, and dual digital microphones.
TECNO’s OneLeap feature also rounds things out by letting the MEGABOOK work with other TECNO’s smartphones, tablets, and other PCs for cross-device collaboration.
Two more MEGABOOKs
TECNO also brought two other MEGABOOKs to IFA.
The MEGABOOK K15S WCL is the more straightforward option. It uses Intel’s newer Wildcat Lake platform with a 16:10 display, a 70Wh battery, and 65W GaN charging — all in a premium, all-metal body.
Then there’s the MEGABOOK T17 Ultra. Ultra by its name, it goes big with a massive 17.3-inch 16:9 display. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and LPDDR5X memory. It also features a massive 99.99Wh battery and speedy 100W GaN PD fast charging.
Wait! There’s even more…
Beyond laptops, TECNO reveals the true form of its Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone at IFA 2026.
As announced more than a month ago, this concept uses a redesigned display architecture, internal stacking, structural engineering, and screen packaging to eliminate the physical black border around the display, resulting in what TECNO calls a true 0mm display border.
Beside a phone prototype, there are two consumer-ready products as well.
The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition combines the POVA series’ performance-focused approach with Tonino Lamborghini’s design language.
It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G chipset alongside TECNO’s custom-made P1 Graphic Chip and a 5K IceShield vapor chamber cooling system. Specific details will be announced on September 4, 2026.
Meanwhile, the CAMON Slim 5G focuses on a thinner form factor, measuring just 6.39mm thick.
TECNO says it combines the CAMON line’s imaging features with AI capabilities and artistic colorways. More specifications will be revealed on September 7.
Pricing and Availability
The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series is expected to arrive in Europe by Q4 2026.
Depending on the configuration choice, the MEGABOOK T15 360 will start between EUR 899 ~ EUR 999. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Pro will cost as much as EUR 1099.
No pricing info were announced for the other MEGABOOKs and two phones as of writing.
