Apple is reportedly planning a comprehensive refresh of its entire MacBook lineup within the next six months, driven by the increasing demand for AI-capable notebooks. This update cycle is expected to begin this fall with the introduction of a new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, codenamed J804, which may feature the M6 chip.
Further into 2026 and early 2027, Apple is rumored to release updated MacBook Pro models (K114 and K116) that could include an OLED display and touchscreen, though they may retain the current M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. A significant upgrade with M7 Pro and Max chips is anticipated for late 2027 or early 2028.
Additionally, a revised MacBook Neo is in development, potentially utilizing an updated A19 chip with improved memory and performance, alongside new color options. The MacBook Air is also slated for an update, with an incremental refresh expected in early 2027, followed by a more substantial redesign in 2028 that might include an OLED screen and an M7 chip.
