A leaker identified elements in macOS 27 that suggest Apple is replacing the physical notch with a Dynamic Island on the upcoming MacBook Pro, aligning with iPhone 16 design trends. This is expected to occur before the October 2026 unveiling, though the specific software version and exact implementation details remain unconfirmed.
Key points
- macOS 27 has been identified with elements resembling the Dynamic Island, a feature expected to replace the physical notch on the new MacBook Pro.
- The leaker's findings are expected to appear in the software prior to the official Apple unveiling in October 2026.
Context
