Will 2026 be the year I upgrade from my M1 Pro?

If the rumors are true, it looks like I will finally be upgrading from my 14" MBP M1 Pro. I bought the machine brand new at launch and it will be 5 years old this year with almost 800 battery cycles! I've been thoroughly impressed with how well the M1 CPUs have held up and have just been waiting for a design refresh instead of just a CPU refresh to upgrade.

Anyone else planning to jump from an M1 this year?

I'll probably hang onto my M1 Max 16" for another year or two. It's still going strong, though I obviously don't use mine on battery nearly as much as you do... 68 cycles 🤣

I can say with no doubt that it's a 100% maybe.

I have an M1 MacBook Pro 13" (16GB/2TB), and an M4 MacBook Pro 16" (24GB/2TB.)
In practice, aside from the ID and the better screen, there is little difference, except perhaps under heavy CPU load, such as with Xcode.
I should note I also have an M1 Ultra Studio (64GB/4 TB).) I expect to use that for years more.

A resounding YES!
