They were announced this week Three big news about the future of the Mac, these are the three big changes worth all the money in the world and this can undoubtedly change the usage of the device. We talked about the addition of 5G, the removal of the annoying Dynamic Island notch, and OLED coming to MacBooks. If it is true that there has been no major change for several years, 2026 could be the key to a significant renewal.

Apple has already realized how it can really improve the Mac

Besides the redesign of laptops and desktops that Apple has introduced to its Macs in recent years, we cannot forget this. Apple Silicon is a major milestone in macOS history. There could be no more perfect computers, perfect synergy between software and hardware. Apple has not disappointed us with updates to both its chips and operating system every year.

All current Macs will be updated to the M4 chip

The most interesting thing is that there are still points of improvement that cannot be left aside.. The reports we published this week focus on the three improvements mentioned above: our own 5G connectivity chips, OLED and Dynamic Island. Attractive for Apple users and those not yet part of the ecosystem.

Although it is true that these are important developments, we will have to wait at least two more years for these events, which are rumors and document leaks for now, to take place. On the one hand, the OLED screen will give more emphasis to current content Everything you watch on Mac is in better quality. 5G connection connects Mac More portable device without needing to connect to Wi-Fi. Although it is said to be due to the size of the camera sensor and sensors, the notch has never had a strict usage concept. Dynamic Island will be more useful for displaying some status updates about apps or macOS itself.

The Mac notch could be converted to Face ID, and Apple has yet to hint at its inclusion in the future

In an interview conducted in October 2021, Executives on Mac projects were asked why Face ID is missing. The simplest answer was “Touch ID was more useful” It’s a simple fact that your hands are on the keyboard most of the time.

A few months later, Mark Gurman revealed that Apple planned to include it in the iMac M1 due to thickness issues. Although it is available on the iPhone 17 Air, it is difficult to include this in a thin screen. It is seen in a patent discovered in 2023 that Apple is working on how to incorporate Face ID into MacBooks, although it’s a difficult task under their own arguments.

iPhone with Face ID

There’s no doubt Face ID is an unpaid debt on the Macbut there is currently no certainty that it may arrive in the future. The fact that they’ve considered incorporating a notch means they’re thinking about how to bring some functionality currently seen on the iPhone or iPad to the Mac. The clearest example of this is Touch ID and soon there will be OLED, 5G and Dynamic Island.

If, as a user, the notch on some MacBook Airs and Pros bothers you, the solution may be to use dark mode in macOS; but this can be a complicated issue as you will always have to stick to it.

The seemingly impossible request of a user segment: Don’t touch the Mac

Besides Face ID, there’s also a sector of Apple users who would like to see a Mac with touch capabilities. Likewise, in Cupertino, they said that’s why the iPad exists, and even more importantly, they took the Sidecar function into account.

What keeps hope alive, although it depends more on the design issue, are patents like these where you can see that Apple has been able to bring functionality to it. There’s nothing wrong with having a touchscreen Mac, we’re sure users will be very happy with it. especially creative and design professional users.

The future of the MacBook is predicted to be great, is it worth waiting at least a few years to experience it?
