MacBook Pro's next big move
Major redesign will yield thinner, lighter laptop with OLED screen.

The next major MacBook Pro redesign reportedly will bring laptops that are thinner and lighter, with a long-rumored OLED screen and (of course) a faster chip.
However, they won't arrive as soon as some people thought. The latest insider report says the first OLED MacBook Pro won't land until 2026. Apparently, Apple is struggling to get the fancy display just right.
All that to say ... if you were considering this year's MacBook Pro but figured you'd put it off until next year so you could jump on the OLED train, maybe you should go ahead and pull the trigger now.
After all, most Cult of Mac Today readers agree that the first benchmarks of the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips sound utterly amazing. (See poll results below.)
If you're still on the fence about whether you should splash out for an impressive M4 MacBook Pro, read our handy buying guide: "Should you upgrade to the 2024 MacBook Pro with M4?"

Remember those mini Apple stores inside CompUSA stores? They got their start on this day in 1997.
This tiny $95 smartphone makes the iPhone mini look humongous.

One more thing ...
As we have tried to come up with a strategy and a vision for Apple, it started with, "What incredible benefits can we give to the customer? Where can we take the customer?" Not starting with, "Let's sit down with the engineers, and figure out what awesome technology we have, and then how are we going to market that?" And I think that's the right path to take.
