Apple said it would unveil a redesigned MacBook Pro in 2026
Apple last week dropped its new MacBook Pro lineup with M4 chips and 14-inch or 16-inch display options. Now details have emerged about the future MacBook Pro models that Apple is said to have been working on. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman expects Apple to update the current MacBook Pro again in 2025, but a major design refresh could happen in 2026. The MacBook Pro models will reportedly feature new display technology and a 2nm M6 chip in 2026.
In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman states that Apple won’t fully overhaul the MacBook Pro until 2026. The brand previously targeted 2025 for the next MacBook Pro revision, but the plan was reportedly scrapped due to delays related to the display technology.
MacBook Pro could get an M5 refresh next year
Gurman says we can expect a simple refresh for the MacBook Pro lineup next year with M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chipsets and minimal to no design changes. He expects that Apple will launch a ‘total redesign’ for the MacBook Pro with an M6 chip in 2026. Apple’s M6 chip will likely be built on the new 2nm process. It could bring new display technology, a fresh design and a significant performance boost.
Apple’s 2026 MacBook Pro lineup is expected to have an OLED screen, ditching the mini-LED display that Apple built into old models. With the transition to OLED screens, the laptop will have a ‘thinner design’. Apple had previously made the MacBook Pro models slightly thicker with the introduction of the M-series chipsets and the company is expected to reverse this in 2026.
Meanwhile, Apple refreshed its MacBook Pro range last week with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. They are available in 14-inch and 16-inch display options and support both ray tracing and Apple Intelligence. The price of MacBook Pro (2024) starts at Rs. 1,69,999 for the base model with an M4 chip and a 14-inch screen.
