Apple announced new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touchscreens on October 28, 2026. Apple says the displays use tandem OLED technology under its PROLED XDR name, with M5 Pro or M5 Max chip options. The listed starting prices are for the United States; Apple’s announcement did not give a Pakistan-specific price or availability date.
What is new about the MacBook Pro?
Apple says this is the first Mac with touch input. The company describes the screen as a tandem OLED display branded PROLED XDR. Apple says people can use touch alongside the keyboard and trackpad, including to scroll, zoom and move items on screen. These are Apple’s product descriptions, not independent test results.
What are the models and US prices?
| Model | US starting price |
|---|---|
| 14-inch with M5 Pro | $2,899 |
| 16-inch with M5 Pro | $3,399 |
| 14-inch with M5 Max | $4,499 |
| 16-inch with M5 Max | $4,799 |
These are the US prices listed by Apple. They should not be treated as Pakistan prices or converted into an estimate of the local retail price.
When do preorders and sales begin?
Apple’s October 28 announcement says preorders start October 28 and availability begins November 6, 2026. The Apple product page displayed a preorder option when checked on October 28.
There is a date conflict in secondary coverage: TechCrunch reported that preorders begin October 30. Apple’s announcement gives October 28. Check Apple’s product page for the latest ordering information in your market.
What is confirmed for Pakistan?
Apple’s announcement gives US prices and does not state a Pakistan-specific price or availability date. That does not establish whether or when the models may be offered in Pakistan. Readers should check an authorised local seller or Apple’s regional information before making a purchase decision.
