New MacBook Pros Could Now Arrive in March

[MacRumors]

New MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could arrive as soon as Monday, March 2, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In today's "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that the release of new MacBook Pro models is tied to the release of macOS Tahoe 26.3. The launch is said to be slated for as early as the week of March 2. He added that the M4 Pro and M4 Max models on sale today remain in short supply, indicating that the launch of new models is close.

Updated Mac Studio models "shouldn't arrive too long after the spring Mac refresh," according to Gurman. A new Studio Display and Mac mini continue to be on Apple's roadmap for this year, along with an all-new low-cost MacBook powered by an iPhone chip. The most significant Mac launch this year will be overhauled MacBook Pro models with OLED displays and touch support.

So Apple should cancel an money grab segment?! Got it

There is no shot we’re getting the OLED MacBook Pro this year. Especially with this timing. M5 Pro and Max in March?? If we’re lucky, we get the M6 in the same old 14” chassis later this year, with the redesigned models coming early 2027.

I would expect the MacBook Pros to launch at least a month apart from the typical budget Spring event, so if MacBook Pros in early March, the cheap stuff coming early to mid-April?

I'm actually looking forward to the budget MacBook to see if they can price it correctly. I hope it's lauded like the M4 Mac mini was, not lambasted like the iPhone 16e was.

I don’t know if I feel bad for those waiting a month for their M4 Pro/M4 Max MBPs or those waiting a month for the M5 Pro/Max

I'm wondering how these new MBPs will be priced, given the surging ram and ssd prices everywhere else.

An 13" Macbook 699 12gb ram and 256 ssd with A19pro will eat the mediocre laptop market

I bet will start from the same prices. Future iPhone as well

One would hope, but the proof will be in the pudding.

26.3 RC just got released. I don't think they'd wait that long to release 26.3. Or the Macbooks will be announced 2 weeks before they ship and March is the shipping date.

I think these will be priced around the same as the current M4 MacBook Pro's, but I would expect a 'significant' jump in price for the rumoured new design M6 models, which is insane considering the already very high price of Apples MB Pro's. over 3 grand for the Max versions is nuts. However yes they are extremely good machines.

They won’t wait that long. 26.3 wil launch next week.

Most likely the MBPs will launch with 26.3.1. There is the possibility that Apple does not release a point release after 26.3 and still release the Macs with 26.3 in March.

“could arrive as soon as Monday, March 2”

Yet 5-6 months after the base M5? Is strange and not ideal imo.

 

[MayaUser]

One would hope, but the proof will be in the pudding.

for now Apple prove us that they can keep the prices, while others couldnt. Facts will tell us soon enough

Are the new Macs with M6 Pro Nad M6 Max with new overall hardware design coming this Fall? I thought that’s what the rumors stated. If so, why buy an M5 Pro/Max model in March?

the rumours stated that we can see a double refresh for the Mbp in 2026, one now in early spring with just an updated SoC and one in late fall with everything changed

Those MacBook Pros ain’t never gonna come out

My bet is on 10th of March...i bet my mom, my girl, my dog. You?

 

[joshwithachance]

6 months after the base M5 and 6 months before the M6 OLED remodel? Interesting...

I’ll do you one better. Apple skips M5 Pro/Max and jumps straight to M6.

I just want a M5 base mini with 512GB and 16GB RAM 🤞
