This week, Apple unveiled MacBook Pro models that run on the newly announced M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The new Macs are available for pre-order now and hit stores on Wednesday, March 11. For that reason, it may come as a surprise that Apple is still expected to release an even bigger MacBook Pro update — possibly a MacBook Ultra — in 2026.

The company also revealed an M4 iPad Air, M5 Pro- and Max-powered MacBook Pro models and a Studio Display XDR.

Apple on Tuesday unveiled updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models in a bid to lure buyers in a softening PC market squeezed by rising memory costs.

Apple is reportedly planning a major MacBook Pro redesign for 2026 that introduces OLED displays, but only for M6 Pro and M6 Max models. The update could also bring a thinner body and touch support, marking the first major design overhaul since 2021.

The lower price and an “entirely new design” could help the new MacBook appeal to students and casual users, competing with Chromebooks and low-cost Windows laptops. A more affordable MacBook could be especially appealing after Apple announced the M5 MacBook Air on Tuesday, which has a higher starting price than last year’s Air.
