According to Mark Gurman, Apple plans to delay the launch of its next generation of MacBook Pro with M5 chip Until the beginning of 2026. Although the experience indicates that its arrival is scheduled by the end of this year, it seems that the new line will be part of a wider strategy which includes ipads, ipads and other devices. The idea of the company is to recover more stable growth.
New 14 and 16 inch MacBook ProWith names in J714 and J716, they will be the latest models that will keep the current design, published in 2021. The next generation, even without a specific date, will bet on a change of design and the adoption of OLED screensA technology that Apple has already used for a long time on the iPhone and iPad Pro.
A delay that affects the entire Mac range
Next to the MacBook Pro, Apple also prepares the arrival of new MacBook Air And a new external monitor for Mac, the first of the Apple Studio display published in 2022. This instructor will also see light in early 2026.
On the other hand, the M5 chip should pay for an improvement in performance with regard to the current M4, but it will maintain the aesthetics and the lines that Apple introduced four years ago. The company draws from the M1 launching its professional laptops at the end of the year (in October or November), except in the case of the MacBook Pro with M2, which arrived in January 2023.
And what are the reasons? As Gurman indicates, the delay is due to the desire of the company of Synchronize your hardware catalog And prepare news for design and technology later. Meanwhile, current models will continue to be the benchmark in the professional range.
Apple continues to operate, moreover, in other projects such as a new center for the smart house, a project that has been spoken on other occasions, and which would be delivered with a 7 to 8 inch panel. This device, initially scheduled for March this year, has been postponed because it depends on new functions of Siri, who have also undergone delays.
