Apple will roll out its long-anticipated MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors alongside macOS 26.3, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his latest “Power On” newsletter. He thinks the operating system update will arrive later this month.
MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors have been expected for some time. It’s also possible that Apple will release an updated Studio Pro. The current Studio Display lacks support for ProMotion, which is Apple’s name for the adaptive, high refresh rate, 120Hz display first available on the iPad Pro.
While a standard refresh rate will update a display 60 times a second (60Hz), the ProMotion’s adaptive 120Hz screen works at twice this speed. This results in smoother scrolling, improved responsiveness and better gaming performance.
In addition to MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, Apple is expected to roll out a pro laptop with a major redesign later this year or early next year. It’s rumored to have an OLED display, thinner design, and possible a touchscreen and cellular connectivity.
