Apple could be about to borrow one of Samsung’s smartest display tricks for the next MacBook Pro, and it might arrive much sooner than expected.
According to a fresh leak, Apple’s upcoming M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pro models could feature a new “Privacy Display” mode that makes the screen harder to view from the side. It’s similar to the anti-snooping tech recently linked to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra that subtly darkens for anyone not looking directly at it.
If accurate, it would be a pretty useful addition for anyone who regularly works in cafés, trains, airports, or shared offices. The feature can reportedly hide either the entire screen or just selected sections. This makes it easier to keep emails, documents, or passwords away from wandering eyes.
What makes this leak more interesting is the timeline. Research firm Omdia previously suggested Apple wouldn’t adopt this type of display tech until around 2029. However, a newer report shared by Wccftech claims it could land as early as this year alongside the M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pro refresh.

That timing actually lines up with another major rumoured upgrade: OLED displays. Current reports suggest only the higher-end M6 Pro and M6 Max models will switch from mini-LED to OLED, while the standard M6 MacBook Pro may stick with the existing panel technology. If Apple is indeed introducing Samsung-style privacy viewing angles, OLED would likely be the perfect place to start.
The display may not be the only big change either. Leaks also point to a redesigned chassis and upgraded cooling system for the next-gen MacBook Pro lineup. This could make this one of Apple’s largest MacBook updates in years.
Of course, none of this has been officially confirmed yet, so it’s worth taking the rumours with some caution. Still, if Apple really does combine OLED, redesigned hardware, and built-in privacy viewing tech into one machine, the next MacBook Pro could end up being far more than just another chip upgrade.
