Overview
- Apple is expected to ship updated 14‑ and 16‑inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in the first half of 2026, with some reports suggesting the launch could come soon.
- A major MacBook Pro overhaul is reportedly targeted for the end of 2026, with rumors pointing to an OLED display, touch support, a thinner chassis, and M6 Pro/Max chips, though a slip into early 2027 remains possible.
- First‑half updates are also reported for MacBook Air with M5, Mac Studio with higher‑end M5 Max and M5 Ultra options, and a new Studio Display.
- The next‑generation Studio Display is rumored to add mini‑LED backlighting, HDR, up to 120Hz ProMotion, and an A19‑series chip, according to prior reports cited alongside Bloomberg’s timeline.
- Apple is also said to be developing a lower‑cost 13‑inch MacBook using an A18 Pro‑based chip that could undercut the MacBook Air and might start around $699.
