This week, Apple introduced its latest MacBook Pro models featuring the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which are now available for pre-order. The devices will officially be in stores starting March 11. Rumors suggest that an even more advanced MacBook Pro update may be on the horizon, likely arriving in 2026.
According to Mark Gurman’s report in Bloomberg, this anticipated model is expected to include a touchscreen and an OLED display, marking a significant departure from previous Mac designs. These innovations mirror features found in the iPad Pro. The upcoming update might utilize the M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, building on the recent announcements of the M5 series.
Historically, Apple has released multiple M-series chip upgrades within the same year. The timeline could see an announcement for the M6 Pro/Max MacBook Pro as early as December 14, 2023, if it follows the past release pattern. Apple has previously unveiled products early in the year with subsequent December launches, hinting that plans could shift as the release date approaches.
