According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing a comprehensive hardware roadmap spanning from late 2025 through 2028 that will bring internal silicon upgrades, OLED displays, and new processor tiers to nearly every Mac laptop and desktop in the company’s lineup.
M6 MacBook Pro and Refreshed iMac Slated for Fall
Apple will launch its first Mac systems powered by the upcoming M6 processor beginning with a baseline 14-inch MacBook Pro this fall, according to reporting by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The initial autumn refresh will focus strictly on internal architecture upgrades rather than a physical chassis redesign.
Pro Tip: Global memory supply volatility may impact precise shipping schedules for desktop tiers. According to supply chain tracking, Apple is currently testing Mac Mini prototypes with M5 Pro and M6 chips alongside Mac Studio configurations running M5 Max and M5 Ultra processors.
OLED Touchscreen MacBooks Arriving Late 2025 to Early 2027
Apple plans to introduce long-rumored touchscreen OLED MacBooks between the end of the year and early 2027. Based on M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, these models will be available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes under a potential MacBook Ultra moniker or a similar designation. Gurman notes the redesign may replace the conventional display camera notch with the iPhone’s Dynamic Island interface. Meanwhile, standard 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air updates featuring M6 silicon are slated for early 2027 without major exterior design alterations.
MacBook Neo and M7 Pro Deployments in 2027
The entry-level MacBook Neo faces its first scheduled refresh around its anniversary in the spring of 2027. Testing currently involves an A19 Pro chip paired with expanded memory—addressing the current base model’s 8GB limit by potentially jumping to 12GB or 16GB—alongside fresh color options, according to Gurman. Later in 2027, the 14-inch MacBook Pro will transition to M7 silicon, while higher-tier MacBook Pro models with M7 Pro and M7 Max options will arrive between late 2027 and early 2028.
Did You Know? The MacBook Neo launched with an 8GB RAM floor, making its upcoming 2027 memory configuration upgrade one of the most anticipated specification shifts for budget Apple buyers.
Long-Term OLED Expansion Through 2028
Looking further ahead into 2028 and beyond, Apple intends to transition additional Mac lines to touchscreen OLED technology. The MacBook Air is expected to receive an OLED panel paired with a complete industrial redesign in 2028, breaking a stagnant chassis look maintained since 2022. An iMac OLED refresh is also plotted for an unspecified later date, which would eventually leave the budget MacBook Neo as the sole remaining LCD-based computer in Apple’s catalog.
