Apple's major MacBook Pro overhaul is reportedly 'slightly' delayed due to supply chain shortages

Key Points:
- The next-generation MacBook Pro, expected to feature an OLED display with Dynamic Island, a touch screen, and M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, is facing production delays due to industry-wide memory shortages.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the launch, initially anticipated for late 2026 to early 2027, is now more likely to occur in the latter part of that timeframe, possibly early next year.
- The delays are attributed to supply constraints in components like RAM and SSD storage, affecting both the MacBook Pro and the upcoming Mac Studio update.
- Software support for the new touch screen features will be ready by fall with macOS 27, indicating the delay is not related to software development.
- Apple may position the OLED MacBook Pro as a new high-end model with a higher price point, while continuing to sell current M5 MacBook Pros at existing prices to manage supply and demand.
