Apple plans to launch more updates and new versions of Mac computers during the remainder of this year, and Gorman explained that the company is strongly preparing to complete its technical lineup for the year 2026 by unveiling an additional group of devices that meet the aspirations of different categories of users.
These future plans come shortly after the company launched MacBook Air devices equipped with the M5 processor, in addition to MacBook Pro devices that operate with M5 Pro processors and the leading M5 Max processors. Through these successive updates, the company seeks to strengthen its competitive position in the personal computer market and provide various options that cover all professional and daily needs.
The list of expected devices includes an updated version of the Mac Studio computer, which Gorman expects to be released in mid-2026, followed by new models of iMac and Mac mini devices. Although the external design of the Mac Studio and Mac Mini devices will remain identical to the current versions without fundamental changes, the 2026 iMac computer will feature a renewed color palette that adds a different aesthetic touch.
Attention is turning towards the end of the year in anticipation of the launch of a new, high-performance laptop, which will likely be called the MacBook Ultra, to sit at the top of the company’s mobile devices. This anticipated device will represent a qualitative leap in the history of the series, as it will become the first Mac computer to combine a touch screen with advanced OLED display technology to provide an unprecedented visual and interactive experience.
Although the report did not explicitly address the details of the processors, expectations indicate that the new Mac Studio computer will be equipped with an M5 Max processor, along with an M4 Ultra or M5 Ultra chip. Meanwhile, the Mac mini computer is likely to be available with M5 and M5 Pro processor options, while the iMac computer seems almost certain to get the standard M5 processor to ensure strong and stable performance.
