The MacBook Pro was already and good, but soon they will be even more, starting with the models with an M5 chip that will arrive this year. However, facing next year, the Larger range of the five -year range. This is why Mark Gurman, the main Apple filter.
Apple generally does not make large aesthetic and functional jumps for each generation of MacBook Pro. The best example we see in the latest MacBook Pro M4, which takes on significant power in power and performance, but not for aesthetic and other characteristics with regard to the 2021 MacBook Pro. What we will see with the 2026 models He has many interesting incentives.
A refined design to which the OLED will be added
There was a time when the MacBook Pro was not very “pro”. Not at least everything that should for practical purposes. Much versatility has been sacrificed in terms of ports in order to have lighter conceptions. From models with M1 Pro and M1 Max, the design has also changed, having more robust conceptions, although with desired yields such as those of HDMI or Magsafe ports.
That panic does not expect what awaits us in 2026 because these essential elements will no longer be sacrificed for professionals. Yes, instead, it will refine more thanks to the miniaturization process that the Apple Silicon will allow and that we recently seen on the iPad Pro M4 and Mac Mini M4. The 2026 MacBook Pro M6 will be thinner. This declares Mark Gurman.
Far from staying in a lower thickness, Apple will also change a fundamental element of the MacBook Pro next year: the screen. Accompanying what was already planned under the reports of the supply chain, Gurman says that “OLED” panels will be implementedwhich is the same technology of the latest iPad.
This technology consists in setting up two OLED panels to solve certain problems that traditional OLEDs can undergo. For example, preventing burning effects on them, in addition to contributing better energy efficiency and greater brightness. If it is true that the mini LED of the last MacBook Pro has already offered a good experience, this jump will download a few steps on the top.
In Elec, a medium near the supply chains, they stressed last month that OLED will also arrive at the MacBook Air, although with two nuances. The first is that in this case, they will be panels in a single layer unlike the “pro”. The other fact is that, with the exception of the surprise, they would arrive from 2027.
The first 2 nm chip in a mac
If everything goes as planned, we will also assist internally with a change of era in terms of processor with the jump to a Manufacturing process in 2 nanometers. Today, this is an unprecedented process that they are trying to improve in TSMC, Apple supplier.
Precisely in 2026, these chips are expected to start to be produced by Mass, both for the A20 chip of the iPhone 18 and for the M6 that the MacBook Pro will mount. This manufacturing process implies greater density of transistors which, for practical purposes, could be translated into two basic elements: Better performance and greater energy efficiency. And given the expected development of Apple intelligence and knowledge of its local treatment, an advanced chip will be essential.
In short, we are at the gates of a historical generation of the MacBook Pro. Before, it will be time to know the models with M5, which despite a continuous line in terms of design, an interesting performance update also seems. It should be in October or November when we know it.
