**Apple’s Mac Roadmap Unveiled: New MacBooks and Desktops Inbound**
In the tech world, whispers of upcoming Apple products are always abuzz, and the latest chatter centers around a potential wave of new Macs set to hit the market in the next couple of years. According to recent leaks, Apple’s pipeline is brimming with refreshes for almost every Mac model, with releases slated for 2025 and 2026.
Earlier this week, we caught wind of the impending M5 MacBook Pro, and now, a fresh leak has shed light on Apple’s comprehensive Mac launch roadmap, thanks to insights gleaned from the macOS Tahoe 26 software development timeline. Sources privy to the development and testing of macOS Tahoe 26 have shared some intriguing details with AppleInsider.
First on the docket is the M5 MacBook Pro, which is expected to make its debut in the not-too-distant future. Following its unveiling, Apple is set to introduce the 13-inch and 15-inch M5 MacBook Air models in early 2026. These new Airs will succeed the current M4 iteration, which we praised in our M4 MacBook Air review. The new MacBook Air is slated to launch alongside macOS Tahoe 26.2, mirroring the release pattern of the M4 MacBook Air, which debuted in March 2025 alongside macOS Sequoia 15.3.
As for the high-end MacBook Pro variants, the M5 Pro and M5 Max models are poised to join the lineup soon after the M5 MacBook Air, completing the M5 MacBook Pro series.
Apple’s desktop plans for 2026 are equally ambitious. A new Mac mini and Mac Studio are tipped to arrive mid-year, potentially accompanied by a new iMac, although the sources behind the leak express less confidence in the latter’s release. These desktop updates will replace their current counterparts, with the most recent desktop Mac launch – the M3 Ultra Mac Studio – having occurred in March 2025.
With this flurry of Mac releases on the horizon, Apple enthusiasts can expect an exciting end to 2025 and the entirety of 2026. Beyond these Macs, the tech giant has other treats in store, including new iPad Pros and potentially the iPhone 17e, set to drop in the coming months.
