The latest M5 MacBook Pro rumor says the updated macOS notebook won’t be out until next year.

Overview

  • Apple now targets the first half of 2026 for its next-gen 14-inch and 16-inch M5 MacBook Pro models, delayed from autumn 2025.
  • These M5-powered laptops will be the last to use the existing MacBook Pro chassis introduced in 2021.
  • Apple indicates the delay isn’t tied to processor readiness because the M5 chip remains on schedule for an autumn iPad Pro debut.
  • The shift marks a departure from Apple’s traditional annual MacBook Pro refresh cycle.
  • Apple plans a comprehensive redesign for the M6 MacBook Pro in late 2026, promising a slimmer profile and OLED screens.
