In his latest report, Gurman now says that a product launch tied to that OS cycle \u201cis currently slated for as early as the week of March 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The current M4 Pro and Max MacBook Pros have been in short supply for weeks, indicating that a new release is imminent. The current M4 MacBook Air was released on March 5 of 2025, so a March 2 release of the M5 MacBook Air fits with its annual release cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Gurman\u2019s latest report also mentions the new low-cost MacBook with an iPhone chip, but he doesn\u2019t say whether the laptop will be part of this release cycle.

A new Studio Display is coming this year, as well, he says. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to this round of M5 Macs, the second half of 2026 will be marked by the release of the redesigned, M6-based MacBook Pro, featuring a touchscreen OLED&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3056261\/report-new-macs-are-coming-soon-for-real-this-time.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report: New Macs are coming soon (for real this time) https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3056261\/report-new-macs-are-coming-soon-for-real-this-time.html Publish Date: 2026-02-09 11:52:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211641,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/mac-family-tahoe-1.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[53,54,50,51],"class_list":["post-211640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-mac-mini","tag-mac-studio","tag-macbook-air","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211640"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211640"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211642,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211640\/revisions\/211642"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
