Apple is set to launch two new MacBook Pro models this year. One is an update to the current design featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, expected to arrive soon, likely alongside macOS 26.3. These models promise impressive performance, with speculation about high Geekbench scores and enhanced CPU and GPU options. The update aims to appeal to those looking for more power, even if it doesn't bring major design changes. The more significant news revolves around a completely redesigned MacBook Pro expected in the last quarter of this year. This will be the first major redesign in five years, featuring a slimmer profile, a punch hole for the FaceTime camera, and potentially a touchscreen. The most anticipated change is the switch from IPS LCD to OLED screens, as Samsung prepares to produce these panels. They aim to ship 2 million units by year-end, with two models planned: 14-inch and 16-inch versions. However, some Apple-specific components are still being finalized, which could impact the timeline. The excitement for the new design suggests many consumers may hold off on purchasing the updated M5 models in favor of the redesign. A recent comment highlights that individual upgrade decisions will likely hinge on trade-in values for current models, indicating a discerning consumer base that weighs options carefully.
