Overview
- MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected in the first half of 2026, with multiple outlets citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
- The early‑2026 wave is also reported to include M5 MacBook Air and refreshed Mac Studio and Studio Display hardware, with the display rumored to add HDR, 120Hz ProMotion, and an A19‑series chip.
- Apple is said to be targeting a late‑2026 MacBook Pro redesign that introduces an OLED screen and touch input, with early 2027 still possible if schedules slip.
- Supply‑chain reports indicating Tandem OLED panel production beginning in Q2 lend support to the late‑year redesign timeframe.
- Gurman also reports Apple may accelerate its chip roadmap with M6 arriving sooner than anticipated, and a lower‑cost MacBook using an A18 Pro chip is reportedly planned for later in the year.
