Apple’s Mac roadmap points to OLED laptops by 2028

Bloomberg has published a broad look at Apple’s Mac roadmap, outlining updates across the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and a new MacBook Neo over the next several years.

According to the report, Apple is aiming to ship several Macs before the end of this year, including:

• a new entry-level MacBook Pro with an M6 chip
• new iMac models
• new high-end 14-inch and 16-inch touchscreen MacBook models with OLED displays, powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max

Bloomberg says those higher-end MacBook models are “on track for release between the end of this year and early next year.” Apple is reportedly testing the machines with macOS 27.1, which will likely arrive at the end of October.

Further out, the report says Apple is planning an updated MacBook Air lineup in early 2027. It is also working on a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro with the M7 chip for next year.

Another notable product in testing is the MacBook Neo, which Bloomberg says is powered by an A19 Pro chip. The company is also said to be planning to refresh the MacBook Neo periodically with new colors.

On the desktop side, Apple is testing a Mac mini lineup with M5 Pro and base M6 processors. New Mac Studio models are also in testing with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips. Bloomberg cautions that the timing of those machines, along with the planned chip and memory configurations, depends on memory-chip supply.

Looking further ahead, Bloomberg says an OLED MacBook Air could arrive as early as 2028. An OLED iMac is also reportedly in development and would follow the OLED MacBook Air.
