TL;DR: Apple's upcoming Mac lineup will feature M5-powered MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac models launching in late 2025, followed by M5 MacBook Air and Mac Studio in 2026. Next-gen M6 MacBook Pros with OLED displays and a unique A18 Pro-powered MacBook are also expected, highlighting significant performance and design upgrades.

Apple's fleet of next-generation MacBook laptops has been leaked, as well as details on its new iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro systems.

AppleInsider has reported a list of purported identifiers that tease future-gen systems from Apple, including a mysterious A18 Pro-powered MacBook Pro. We have the new M5-powered MacBook Pro laptops that will be unveiled later this year, as well as the previously reported M5 iPad Pro refresh.

The first to be released will be the 14-inch and 16-inch variants of the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro laptops, expected to drop in October or November 2025. We should also be introduced to a new M5 Mac mini and M5 iMac at the reveal event for the new M5-based MacBook Pro laptops.

In 2026 or 2027, we should see a new M5 MacBook Air and Mac Studio, while the desktop-focused M5 Mac Pro is still in development and might not make the light of day in 2026. In 2026, we will see Apple release next-gen M6-powered OLED MacBook Pro laptops that should (finally) deliver some design changes to the MacBook Pro family, with slimmer bezels and an overall thinner profile.

Another tidbit is the "J700" identifier, which points to a new A18 Pro-powered MacBook, with the A-series processors from Apple made for the iPhone, and the M-series processors made for the MacBook, iPad, and other non-iPhone devices. That will be interesting to see indeed; a mobile processor for a thinner MacBook Air would be an interesting direction for the company.

The full list of identifiers for future Apple products:

  • J714s - MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5 Pro)
  • J714c - MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5 Max)
  • J716s - MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Pro)
  • J716c - MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Max)
  • K114s - MacBook Pro 14-inch (M6 Pro)
  • K114c - MacBook Pro 14-inch (M6 Max)
  • K116s - MacBook Pro 16-inch (M6 Pro)
  • K116c - MacBook Pro 16-inch (M6 Max)
  • J815 - MacBook Air 13-inch (M5)
  • J813 - MacBook Air 15-inch (M5)
  • J873s - Mac mini (M5 Pro)
  • J833ct - iMac (M5)
  • J775c - Mac Studio
  • J775d - Mac Studio
  • J704 - Mac Pro
  • J804 - Mac Pro
  • J700 - A18 Pro-Powered MacBook (Possibly)
