The upcoming launch of new MacBook Pro models is anticipated, with reports indicating they may arrive as soon as this month. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the next-generation devices, identified by the codes J714 and J716, will feature improved processing capabilities with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. These models are expected to coincide with the macOS 26.3 release cycle, which spans February to March.
The refreshed 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are not expected to present significant design changes, maintaining the existing form factor while enhancing performance. Apple had previously introduced a standard 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with an M5 chip in October. Observers suggest that consumers may want to wait for more substantial updates anticipated in late 2026 or 2027, which could include features such as an OLED display, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, and integrated cellular capabilities.
Apple is likely to make an official announcement regarding the new models soon, with details expected to be released via the Apple Newsroom.
