Summary

A recent report outlines expected Mac models through 2026, based on leaked Apple identifiers for upcoming revisions.

Report Details 15 Forthcoming Mac Models Expected Through 2026

According to information compiled by AppleInsider:

Through our own data and information shared with us, AppleInsider has learned of 15 new Mac models currently in development. People familiar with the matter have indicated that Apple plans to introduce its M5 chip within a few months, and that M6-equipped devices could see notable changes in late 2026. Apple’s product identifiers follow a pattern, which allows identification of future Mac models. The following Macs are expected to be released in the next year, though exact release windows mentioned in this report are based on rumors and Apple’s expected schedule.

The report provides a detailed overview of Apple identifiers for upcoming Mac models obtained by AppleInsider.

Highlights Include:

  • M5 MacBook Pro in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes
  • M5 iMac
  • M5 Pro Mac mini
  • M5 MacBook Air in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes
  • New Mac Pro
  • Two Mac Studio models (likely Max and Ultra variants)
  • A model that may be the rumored MacBook with A18 Pro

Many of these models align with Apple’s established approach to Mac upgrades using M-series chips.

One notable detail involves the identifiers for next year’s M6 MacBook Pro models. Apple uses ‘K114’ and ‘K116’ identifiers for these models, with the final digits indicating screen sizes. This suggests that, despite anticipated hardware changes, the MacBook Pro will continue to be available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes next year.

The previous MacBook Pro redesign changed display sizes from 13- and 15-inch to the current 14- and 16-inch options. The upcoming redesign is expected to retain these screen sizes, even if other aspects of the devices are updated.
