Apple Poised for Two MacBook Pro Upgrades in 2026, With OLED Redesign Late in the Year

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman outlines a two‑phase Mac roadmap echoed by reports citing display supplier timing.

New MacBook Pros are coming soon, but even better ones might launch towards the end of the year.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say early‑2026 Macs are “ready to go,” including M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, an M5 MacBook Air, a refreshed Mac Studio, and a new Studio Display.
  • A separate MacBook Pro redesign is reportedly targeted for late 2026 with OLED panels, touch input, and next‑generation M6 Pro and M6 Max chips.
  • Rumored redesign changes include a thinner chassis, a Dynamic Island–style or hole‑punch camera, and possible built‑in cellular connectivity.
  • A lower‑cost MacBook using an iPhone‑class A18 Pro chip is said to be in development to undercut the MacBook Air’s price.
  • Gurman adds that M6 silicon could arrive sooner than expected in some configurations, with supply‑chain notes pointing to Tandem OLED panel production beginning in Q2.
