Apple introduced its first major MacBook Pro redesign in over five years, adding touchscreen capability to macOS for the first time. The new OLED display supports full multi-touch gestures including pinch-to-zoom and file dragging. The PROLED XDR display can reach 2,000 nits peak brightness with an exceptionally high contrast ratio, while retaining the 120 Hz variable refresh rate from previous models. Apple addressed potential burn-in concerns but detailed its protection approach separately.
