In his Power On newsletter, Gurman added that redesigned MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens are expected to launch towards the end of 2026, meaning the MacBook Pro lineup will be upgraded twice this year.
First up will be the MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which are expected soon. Then, the MacBook Pro is expected to get a major redesign in late 2026 (but 2027 isn't completely out of the question), with rumored features like an OLED touchscreen, Dynamic Island, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, a thinner design, and built-in cellular connectivity.
Apple has upgraded the MacBook Pro twice within a year in the past, with the M2 Pro and M2 Max models debuting in January 2023 and the M3 Pro and M3 Max models following in October 2023, so there is precedent for something like this.

Apple's Creator Studio app suite is launching on Wednesday, January 28, and there has been speculation that Apple may use the opportunity to unveil MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips this week.
As for the MacBook Air, it is expected to receive the M5 chip, while the Mac Studio should receive the higher-end M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips.
There are reports of a new Studio Display in development, with rumored features including mini-LED backlighting, ProMotion support for up to 120Hz refresh rates, HDR support, and either an A19 or A19 Pro chip. Last month, the next-generation Studio Display was allegedly spotted in a Chinese regulatory database.
