Apple is reportedly working on a new M5 MacBook Pro refresh, which is set to debut later this year. While this update will just be a small chip upgrade, Bloombergs Mark Gurman reaffirms that well see a larger MacBook Pro overhaul in 2026.Gurman describes this new M5 MacBook Pro refresh as a lock, and that itll probably happen around the same time of year that it received the M4 processor in 2024 and the M3 in 2023.That means October, for those of you who arent keeping tally. Apple is also working on an M5 MacBook Air refresh, as is tradition.While neither of these refreshes will introduce new designs, Gurman once again mentions that the MacBook Pro will receive an overhaul in 2026. This refresh will introduce an M6 chip, an OLED display, and a thinner design, according to past reporting:In terms of major new Mac designs, I dont expect the MacBook Pro to get an overhaul until around 2026 when the M6 model is due to come out.In case you dont feel like waiting another 6 months to pick up a new MacBook Pro with M5, you can take a look at great deals on existing MacBook Pro models, including the M4 14-inch model starting at just $1399, and the M4 Pro 14-inch model starting at $1779.
