The claim

Apple will ship second-generation OLED touchscreen MacBook Pros with M7 Pro and M7 Max chips next year and then stop selling the non-touch M5 Pro/Max models, keeping only an entry 14-inch MacBook Pro that moves to M7 and the new thinner design without touch.

Why we rated it Rumor

From Mark Gurman's Nov 1 Power On newsletter, relayed by AppleInsider and Digital Trends; MacRumors earlier reported (Oct 15) that the OLED models won't get M7 until late 2027. Gurman's Mac reporting has been reliable this year, but this is a single source about plans a year out, and Apple has not commented. The current touchscreen models launched Oct 28 with M5 Pro/Max. Update Nov 4: MacRumors relays Gurman's view that Apple will likely fold its high-end MacBook Pros into touchscreen-only models, and repeats the 2027 M7 Pro/Max touch generation plus a thinner M7 base 14-inch. Same single source, so still Rumor.
