Apple may be abandoning the M6 generation of its Pro and Max chips, but that doesn’t mean it’s pushing back the release of its reported touchscreen laptops. according to bloombergAccording to Mark Gurman, the new MacBook will launch with the high-end M5 chips that arrived earlier this year. The 14-inch and 16-inch models are still expected to be released between late 2026 and early 2027, as Gurman previously reported. The next version of the touch MacBooks will get M7 chips not too far down the line.
According to Gurman, who spoke to sources with knowledge of the plans, M7 versions are already in the advanced testing phase and could arrive by the end of 2027.

This includes bringing the Dynamic Island interface from the iPhone, an OLED screen, and “an updated industrial design,” reports Gurman.
Apple is expected to introduce its M7 chip in early 2027, followed by the M7 Pro and Max a few months later. Gurman also revealed that we could see the M7 Ultra in 2028.
