Overview

  • The M5-powered MacBook Pro update has been postponed from late 2025 to early 2026.
  • A full redesign with the M6 chip and an OLED screen is now expected between late 2026 and early 2027.
  • The upcoming redesign will feature a thinner chassis and replace mini-LED with OLED technology for deeper blacks and improved energy efficiency.
  • Samsung Display and BOE are expected to supply the OLED panels required for the MacBook Pro overhaul.
  • Supply bottlenecks for OLED panels and the exceptional longevity of existing M-series chips have led Apple to stagger its MacBook Pro updates.
