The company is already preparing updates for MacBook Neo, iMac, MacBook Air and more.
Rumors have been circulating for several months about Apple’s plan to add an OLED touch screen to its MacBook Pro, but Bloomberg reports that almost all of the company’s other laptops and desktops will receive chip upgrades and, in some cases, design changes over the next year.
The highlight of the bunch is a new version of the MacBook Neo, which would use the A19 Pro chip first introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro, feature more RAM, and be available with new colors. In the more immediate future, Bloomberg writes that Apple has prepared updates to the entry-level iMac and 14-inch MacBook Pro for this fall, likely focusing on changes to the M5 chip and the upcoming M6 chip, respectively. Between fall and early 2027, the company will then introduce the “MacBook Ultra”, which will use the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips from current high-end MacBook Pros, but with a new OLED touchscreen and changes to the macOS interface.
For 2027, Apple reportedly plans to update the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air, probably also with the M6 chip, and assuming supply constraints don’t get in the way, release new versions of the Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Bloomberg writes that Apple is testing versions of the Mac Mini with the M5 Pro and M6 chips, while the Mac Studio in development currently uses M5 Max or M5 Ultra chips. The company’s plan to completely redesign the 14-inch MacBook Pro is also still underway, and the new laptop will reportedly debut with an M7 chip.
Beyond these immediate upgrades, it appears that OLED displays will also gradually roll out to the company’s products, starting with the iPad Mini, then arriving on MacBook Pros, 2028 versions of the MacBook Air, and, at some point in the future, the iMac. The Pro and Max versions of the M7 chip will also be introduced in next year’s MacBook Pros.
Apple only raised prices on its Mac line recently, in June 2025, so ideally some of these upcoming upgrades won’t be associated with further price hikes. Given that memory is still in high demand and Apple is reportedly rolling out a new hardware leasing program, don’t be surprised if costs rise further.
