- New MacBooks and Macs rumored to be arriving
- These models will be planned for 2025 and 2026.
- Almost all Apple computer models could be updated
We saw rumors about the new M5 MacBook Pro earlier this week, and now a new leak may have revealed Apple’s full Mac release roadmap for the rest of this year and next, via details in the macOS Tahoe 26 software development timeline.
Sources speaking to AppleInsider, who are apparently familiar with the development and testing of macOS Tahoe 26, suggested that the M5 MacBook Pro will be introduced in the not-too-distant future.
Next, we’ll get the updated 13- and 15-inch M5 MacBook Air in early 2026, these sources say. Those models would replace the current MacBook Air M4 model, which we had a lot of good things to say about in our MacBook Air M4 review.
According to this leak, the new MacBook Air debuts at the same time as macOS Tahoe 26.2. The M4 version of the laptop was released in March 2025, also with a macOS update: macOS Sequoia 15.3. So the parallels are there.
Desktop computers
After that, we will apparently get the high-end MacBook Pro variants, with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. It seems that these models will appear shortly after the MacBook Air M5, completing the MacBook Pro M5 line.
Apple apparently has more Mac plans for 2026: a new Mac mini and a new Mac Studio are expected to appear in mid-2026. They may be joined by a new iMac, but the sources behind the leak seem less certain about this model.
All of these desktops would replace the current versions, of course – the most recent desktop Mac release we had was in March 2025, when the M3 Ultra Mac Studio made its debut – so updates will definitely arrive next year.
It looks like it will be a very busy time for Apple in late 2025 and 2026, and there will also be a lot more from the company beyond these Macs: new iPad Pros and potentially the iPhone 17e are expected in the coming months.
