Apple’s 2026 MacBook Blitz: M5 Pro/Max Upgrades, Budget A‑Series, and OLED Pros
Rumors point to a busy 2026 for Apple’s MacBook line: M5 Pro and M5 Max updates across the 14‑inch and 16‑inch MacBook Pro models later this month or in March, a rumored budget MacBook powered by an A‑series chip priced around $599–$699, and an M5 refresh for the MacBook Air in the first quarter. Later in the year, OLED MacBook Pros with a touchscreen and possible M6 chips are expected, though at higher prices. No major redesign is anticipated for Pro or Air models, with Pro starting around $1,999 (14″) and $2,499 (16″), and the OLED variants serving as a premium option.
