MacBook Pro's Next Big Design: Coming in 2026

Guess what? Apple's MacBook Pro is due for a major makeover in 2026! This new design will include cutting-edge display tech and a powerful 2nm M6 chip. Wondering why it's taking so long? Well, Apple is facing some challenges with the display technology. The last big change was in 2021, when the M1 Pro/Max chips were introduced. Apple usually updates the design every 4-5 years, so a 2025 refresh seemed likely. But according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, we'll have to wait until 2026.

What's new this time? The laptop might be thinner and lighter, with an OLED display offering higher brightness. However, we're not sure if this will affect performance or battery life. Before the 2026 model, Apple plans to launch the M5 MacBook Pro in 2025. These will have minor performance boosts, using the same 3nm node as the M4 chips. So, if you're waiting for a big change, you might want to hold off a bit longer.
