Apple’s Upcoming Product Wave: New Macs, iPads, and More

After a relatively quiet start to the year, Apple is preparing to launch a range of new products in the coming weeks, encompassing Macs, iPads, and potentially new displays. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that multiple new Macs and Mac-related hardware will be unveiled “over the course of the next several weeks.”

New Mac Hardware on the Horizon

• Low-Cost MacBook: A new, more affordable MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip is in development, featuring a display slightly smaller than 13 inches and available in multiple colors.
• M5 MacBook Air: An updated MacBook Air with the M5 chip is expected, likely representing a specification bump rather than a major redesign.
• M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro: Following the release of the base M5 model last fall, Apple is preparing updates to the MacBook Pro line with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
• New Mac Displays: Apple is reportedly working on at least one new external display for the Mac, promising a higher refresh rate and improved picture quality.

Gurman previously indicated that Apple is targeting the launch of the new MacBook Pros during the macOS 26.3 cycle, with a potential product announcement “slated for as early as the week of March 2.” He has since reiterated that Apple is “preparing for an event that month.” Mark Gurman is a well-known journalist specializing in Apple news, with a reputation for accurate predictions dating back to 2012.

Beyond Macs: New iPads and iPhone

Apple’s product push extends beyond Macs. The company is also preparing to release the iPhone 17e, a new base model iPad, and an M4 iPad Air.

What to Expect

The coming weeks promise a flurry of activity from Apple. The new low-cost A18 Pro MacBook has the potential to be a significant product launch, and the updated external Mac display(s) are keenly anticipated by Mac users.
