Apple has several new Macs on the horizon soon, including refreshed 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros equipped with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, along with an updated MacBook Air featuring the standard M5 processor.

Upgraded Mac Studio desktops with M5-series chips are expected as well, likely arriving not long after the spring Mac updates.

There’s also the highly anticipated refresh for the Studio Display, which sources indicate will retain a very similar design to the current model while gaining enhancements like higher refresh rates and HDR support.

The new MacBook Pros, meanwhile, are tied to the macOS 26.3 cycle that runs through March. The M4 versions of the high-end laptops remain in short supply, a telltale sign that new models are coming. A product launch is currently slated for as early as the week of March 2…

Looking toward the back half of the year… For Mac fans, the most significant new computer in years is coming: a MacBook Pro featuring an OLED screen and touch support. This marks a major shift for Apple, requiring user interface changes and representing a dramatic reversal for a company that long dismissed the idea of touch-controlled Macs.


MacDailyNews Take: We’ll not be smearing our fingers all over our Mac displays when a perfectly usable trackpad, not to mention a mouse, is available.
