Apple plans to introduce several new MacBooks in early 2026, with the next-generation MacBook Air set to feature an M5 chip. While specific details remain sparse, the updated MacBook Air is expected to maintain its existing 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, alongside a potential new color option to replace the current sky blue. Following the pattern of previous releases, a launch is anticipated between February and March 2026.
In addition to the MacBook Air, Apple will unveil enhanced MacBook Pro models shortly after the new year, including 14-inch and 16-inch variants equipped with the more powerful M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. These upgrades are expected to improve SSD performance and memory bandwidth significantly.
A new, lower-priced MacBook, likely named simply ‘MacBook’, is also on the horizon with a rumored price range of $599 to $699. This model may feature a 12.9-inch display and an A18 Pro chip, with color options including silver, blue, pink, and yellow. This move aims to attract more users from the iPhone demographic who typically choose PCs or Chromebooks over Macs.
