Summary
Apple is lining up fall refreshes for the iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, with the desktop expected to move to M5 and the laptop to M6.
Bloomberg said the fall launches are part of a broader Mac roadmap that also includes a refreshed MacBook Neo with an A19 Pro chip, more RAM and new colors.
Between late 2026 and early 2027, Apple is also planning a "MacBook Ultra" with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, an OLED touchscreen and macOS interface tweaks.
For 2027, the roadmap extends to 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models likely using M6, plus new Mac Mini and Mac Studio versions if supply constraints ease.
The longer-term shift points to a wider OLED rollout across Macs and iPads, while Apple’s June 2025 Mac price increases and tight memory supply could keep upgrade costs rising.
