Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman claims that new MacBook Pro models, featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, are slated to debut between February and March 2026 alongside the macOS 26.3 update.<\/p>\n<p>In his Power On newsletter, Gurman reported on the Pro models featuring the new macOS update:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m told the new models \u2014 code-named J714 and J716 \u2014 are slated for the macOS 26.3 software cycle, which runs from February through March.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>macOS 26.3 is currently undergoing beta testing, and its wide release is anticipated soon, possibly in early February. Gurman\u2019s report suggests that Apple may tie the hardware launch closely to this software update. This rumor echoes earlier reports from AppleInsider&#8217;s Marko Zivkovic in October, solidifying that multiple sources point to this timeline.<\/p>\n<p>The M5 Pro and Max promise incremental performance boosts over the M4 series, ideal for demanding tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and AI workloads. Beyond the powerful M5 chips, Apple is expected to include touchscreen OLED displays, a thinner design, and cellular connectivity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong>Apple reportedly skips the iPhone 18 this year to prioritize its first foldable and Pro models<\/p>\n<p>While these models offer reliable upgrades, bigger changes are expected to drop late 2026 or 2027.
