Rumour mills have been speculating that the new Apple MacBook Pro models powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips would go official in February 2026. However, a new report has emerged claiming that these devices could be unveiled in March. Here is a look at what the latest information suggests about Apple’s upcoming refresh.

M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro launch timeline tipped

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that new MacBook Pro models powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could arrive as early as the week of March 2, possibly alongside the rollout of macOS Tahoe 26.3. The upcoming refresh is expected to focus mainly on internal upgrades rather than design changes. Current-generation models with M4 Pro and M4 Max processors reportedly remain in limited supply, which often signals that a replacement launch is approaching.

Historically, Apple’s MacBook Pro update cycle has not always followed predictable patterns. In 2023, the company introduced two major refreshes within the same year, suggesting that rapid updates can occur when new chip technology becomes available.

If the M5 Pro models debut in early March, a second upgrade later in 2026 may still be possible. To recall, the M5 MacBook was announced in October 2025, which suggests that a new MacBook Pro model with several upgrades may debut around the same time this year.

Possible M6 redesign and broader Mac roadmap

Reports indicate that a more significant redesign could follow with the introduction of M6 Pro models. Rumored changes include OLED display, a thinner chassis, and the possibility of touch support, representing a larger shift compared to the expected M5 refresh. Such an approach would allow Apple to maintain momentum with incremental updates while preparing for a major hardware overhaul later.

Other Mac devices are also said to be in development, including updated Mac Studio models, a new Studio Display, refreshed Mac mini systems, and a lower-cost MacBook powered by an iPhone-class processor. If Apple follows a similar strategy to past launches, the M5 Pro update may act as a transitional step before a more ambitious redesign arrives toward the end of the year.

Apple is expected to launch its first MacBook Pro with an OLED display later this year. This could be a major update for Apple’s laptop lineup. OLED screens offer better colors, deeper blacks, and improved picture quality. Reports suggest that Samsung will play an important role in bringing this new display technology to the MacBook Pro.

The upcoming MacBook Pro is rumored to feature Apple’s new M6 chip, which should deliver better performance and power efficiency. The biggest change is the OLED display, which will be supplied by Samsung Display. For the first OLED MacBook Pro, Samsung is expected to be Apple’s only display partner.

There are also rumors about touchscreen support. Some reports say touchscreen features may be limited to higher-end models with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. The base M6 model may not include touch support. Apple has not confirmed these details yet.

Samsung Display is said to begin mass production of its 8th-generation OLED panels in May. These advanced panels will be made in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, matching Apple’s current MacBook Pro models.

Aside from this, Samsung Display is expected to ship around 2 million OLED panels for Apple’s MacBook Pro by the end of the year. This suggests Apple is planning a large launch for its first OLED MacBook Pro models.

If these reports are accurate, Apple’s OLED MacBook Pro, powered by Samsung’s display technology, could become one of the biggest upgrades to the MacBook Pro in many years. Stay tuned for more information.
