Apple Still Has More New Macs Planned for 2026

Apple is planning more Mac refreshes for the rest of the year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman writes.

Mac Studio Feature
In the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that, following the introduction of the M5 MacBook Air, M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro, and ‌MacBook Pro‌, Apple is preparing for further Mac refreshes to complete the 2026 lineup.

These include an upgraded Mac Studio, which Gurman expects to arrive in the middle of 2026, followed by new iMac and Mac mini models. While the new ‌Mac Studio‌ and ‌Mac mini‌ "will look identical to the current iterations," the 2026 ‌iMac‌ will feature a "refreshed color palette."

A new, high-end MacBook, potentially called the "MacBook Ultra," is expected to arrive around the end of the year. It will feature the Mac's first touchscreen and an OLED display.

Although Gurman did not mention chips, the new ‌Mac Studio‌ is likely to feature the M5 Max chip and either an M4 or M5 Ultra chip, the ‌Mac mini‌ will probably offer M5 and M5 Pro variants, and the ‌iMac‌ is almost certain to get the M5 chip.

It's that time of year.

Whilst birds nest in trees, Gurman starts to state the obvious.

MacBook Ultra? Im surprised they didn't name it MacBook Wing Zero, since we're going for fictional sci-fi.

I miss the good old days

MacBook - Base model, value oriented
MacBook Air - More premium, oriented for users that want a thin and light experience
MacBook Pro - Most premium, oriented for enthusiasts and professionals.
