Apple is preparing to refresh every Mac it sells as growing demand for AI-capable computers drives renewed interest in its laptops and desktops.

The rollout will begin later this year with a new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by Apple’s next-generation M6 chip, alongside the first updated iMac models in two years, according to Bloomberg.

Development of both products is reportedly complete, although they are not expected to ship until the second half of the year.

The most significant update will be a redesigned high-end MacBook Pro range featuring OLED touchscreens – both firsts for the Mac.

The new 14-inch and 16-inch models are expected to launch between late 2026 and early 2027, with Apple reportedly testing the devices using macOS 27.1.

They are tipped to use M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, before follow-up versions featuring M7 Pro and M7 Max chips arrive between late 2027 and early 2028.

Apple is also planning refreshed 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models for early next year.

While their design is expected to remain largely unchanged, an OLED MacBook Air is reportedly being developed for as early as 2028.

A redesigned entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro using a standard M7 chip is also planned for 2027.

Apple’s recently launched budget MacBook Neo is expected to receive an A19 Pro processor, additional memory and new colour options, although no release date has been reported.

The desktop range is also in line for upgrades, with Apple testing Mac mini models using M5 Pro and M6 processors, while new Mac Studio configurations could feature M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips.

However, the timing and specifications of those models may depend on memory-chip availability.

The Mac mini and Mac Studio have reportedly experienced heightened demand from customers running resource-intensive AI applications, with some current configurations facing delivery delays of at least three months.

The broader overhaul comes as Apple looks to extend a recovery in Mac sales, which are forecast to rise for a third consecutive year.

Apple has not commented on the reported product roadmap, while Australian pricing and availability remain unconfirmed.
