Apple reportedly releasing ‘total redesign’ for MacBook Pro in 2026

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will be releasing a ‘total redesign’ for MacBook Pro in 2026. Apple has traditionally taken a four year design cycle with MacBook Pro, but it’s looking like the M5 refresh will just be another chip upgrade – and we’ll have to wait another year to see a complete overhaul.

In this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman wrote that “the MacBook Pro probably won’t get another true overhaul until 2026.” According to Gurman, Apple was previously targeting 2025 for the next MacBook Pro overhaul, but there were delays related to the display technology.

Apple is widely expected to transition to OLED on the next major MacBook Pro refresh, borrowing from the new M4 iPad Pros. Other than that, it’s unclear what’ll be new in this “true overhaul.”

Gurman also mentions that the M6 chip will likely be built on the new 2nm process, bringing new display technology, a new design, and a big performance boost, all in one refresh.

As for the 2025 MacBook Pros, you can expect a bump to the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips, but there won’t be anything significant outside of the chip upgrades.
