Overview
- Recent reporting, including from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, indicates Apple pushed the MacBook Pro overhaul to 2026 after display-technology delays.
- The redesign is expected to introduce OLED panels and the first touch screens on a Mac, alongside a slimmer, lighter chassis.
- Higher-end configurations are reportedly first in line, with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips leading the rollout before lower-tier models follow.
- The base 14-inch version may not receive the new chassis until later, with some reports pointing to 2027 or beyond for that trim.
- Reviewers note that the just-launched M5 Pro and M5 Max laptops offer a refined, reliable design today, while the expected M6-era changes could bring higher costs and unknowns at launch.
