Four new Macs are slated for this year – here's everything you need to know

Apple MacBook Pro M5.

Quick Summary

There could be as many as four new Macs still to come this year.

There's one I'm particularly excited for.

2026 is certain to be a landmark year for Apple. With the departure of long-term CEO, Tim Cook, happening in just a few months, we're expecting big things to mark the dawn of John Ternus' reign.

According to the latest reports and rumours, that could include as many as four new members of the Mac family. It comes after a trio of MacBook models arrived earlier in the year, including the more affordable MacBook Neo.

Here's everything you need to know about what's expected.

The most professional Mac in the brand's range looks set to get another boost later this year. That's set to include the M5 Max and an as-yet-unreleased M5 Ultra chip.

Current reports don't suggest any other changes, but that's not too uncommon. More power is never a bad thing, and it should make a big difference for power users.

The iMac got boosted up to the M4 chip in late 2024, which does make another change feel sudden. Still, fans certainly won't complain, with a bolstered M5 chip-equipped model slated this year.

The report also suggests a new palette of colours for the range, though there's no greater detail on offer.

Mac Mini

This is the one I'm personally most excited for. I've been eyeing up the current Mac Mini for a while, but I've been holding out for the added boost of an M5 chip.

According to reports, the new device will look much the same as its predecessor, but will gain the M5 and M5 Pro chips inside. That's a decent enough boost, and should make it worth the wait.

MacBook Ultra

Last, but certainly not least, is the long awaited MacBook Ultra. That's the expected name given to the redesigned MacBook Pro model, which has been the subject of rumours for years now.

That's said to include an OLED, touchscreen panel as the key feature of a new design. It's also said to feature a Dynamic Island in place of the current notch, which would tie the design in more closely with other devices like the iPhone.
