Through a meticulous analysis of the development and hardware - testing files pertaining to the macOS 26 Tahoe system, we've managed to uncover Apple's Mac product release strategy spanning from 2025 to 2026. It is anticipated that, by the close of 2025, Apple will roll out its inaugural device equipped with the M5 chip—the entry - level M5 MacBook Pro (with the internal codename J704). In the early stages of 2026, the M5 MacBook Air (bearing the codenames J813 and J815) is slated for release. This will be followed by the high - end M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models (with codenames J714 and J716 respectively), thus finalizing the M5 series notebook product range. During the summer of 2026, Apple is set to upgrade its desktop Mac product lineup. This upgrade will encompass the new Mac mini (codenamed J873s/g), the next - generation Mac Studio (codenamed J775c/d), and there's also the possibility of a brand - new iMac (codenamed J833ct). All these new desktop models will be launched in conjunction with macOS 26.4. Moreover, Apple has plans to refresh the MacBook Pro product line. The new models will feature the M6 Pro (codenamed K114) and M6 Max (codenamed K116) chips. These updated MacBook Pros will also boast a slimmer profile and an OLED display.
