Apple Plans Two-Stage MacBook Pro Overhaul

Apple plans a two-stage overhaul of the MacBook Pro line in 2026, with an early refresh and a later redesign, according to TF International analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo and reports from MacRumors. The first update in early 2026 will introduce M5 Pro and M5 Max chips; a separate late-2026 model will be thinner and adopt OLED displays. The cadence aims to balance supply-chain ramps and competitive pressure.
