Apple may keep mini-LED MacBook Pro until 2028, raising odds of pricier OLED 'MacBook Ultra'

Apple may continue producing mini-LED display panels for its current MacBook Pro lineup through 2028, raising the possibility that an OLED-based redesigned model could be separated as a higher-end product called the MacBook Ultra, a report said. The scenario suggests Apple could sell the existing MacBook Pro alongside the redesigned model, potentially adding a sizable price premium and differentiating names. Speculated starting prices include $2,499 for mini-LED MacBook Pro and above $2,999 for Ultra.

Apple's first foldable iPhone could lose five features

Apple's first foldable iPhone, which could be launched under the name "iPhone Ultra", may lack some key features despite being positioned as a top-end model, a report said. To achieve the thin profile typical of foldables, Apple may drop Face ID, a telephoto camera, the Action button, MagSafe and a physical SIM card slot. The report said Apple is considering Touch ID in the power button and may simplify the rear camera to wide and ultra-wide lenses.
