Apple reportedly has an exciting plan for the Mac lineup for 2026. That includes new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro refreshes, a massive MacBook Pro redesign, new Mac desktops, an all new budget MacBook offering, as well as a second generation Studio Display.
We’ll be delving into what’s expected for all of these new Mac products right here.
First half of 2026
MacBook Pro refresh
First things first, 2026 will likely kick off with a relatively minor MacBook pro refresh. This isn’t the massive redesign we’ve all been talking about, as that’s still on track for late 2026-early 2027.
Expect to see new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips,Apple’s new N1 networking chip,and likely not much else.
The M5 Pro/M5 Max MacBook Pro is rumored to launch as soon as this coming week, though today’s reporting from Bloomberg doesn’t call out an urgent timeline.Rather, he just reports that we should see it in the “first half of the year.”
Bloomberg reports that we should be seeing a new Mac mini in the second half of the year, though he doesn’t specify that it’ll necessarily be M5.
In today’s reporting, though previous reports indicate that we should be seeing HDR support, 120Hz ProMotion, as well as an A19 chip to power all of it.
MacBook pro overhaul
saving the best for last,we’ll be getting a MacBook Pro overhaul towards the “end of 2026,” marking the first design change in over five years.
Previously, reports indicated that this new MacBook Pro might get a bit delayed, potentially launching in early 2027. However,Gurman seems firm on it launching by the end of the year,at least in the most recent Power On newsletter.
This new MacBook Pro should bring OLED, a thinner design, touch support, and potentially even cellular support. You can read more about it in my redesigned MacBook Pro rumor recap.
