Mark Gurman has emptied the drawer. His latest Bloomberg report lays out Apple’s Mac plans from this autumn through 2028, eleven models deep, most of them with codenames attached. Individual Mac leaks turn up every few weeks. A complete two-year roadmap does not.
Here is the full queue, and what it tells you about when to buy.
This Autumn: A Cheap MacBook Pro and a New iMac
Two machines are pencilled in for fall 2026. The first is an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro running the M6, codename J804. The second is a refreshed iMac, codenames J833 and J834, its first update in two years. Neither is a redesign. Both exist to put current silicon in the two Macs ordinary buyers actually walk out of the shop with.
The Mini and the Studio Are Hostages to the Memory Market
A new Mac mini with M5 Pro and M6 options and a Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips are both in the plan, but Gurman says their timing depends on memory supply. Both desktops are already running short in some configurations.
There is a grim comedy in this. A Micron executive has already suggested that Apple’s own hardball memory buying helped create the shortage now delaying Apple’s own desktops. The company cornered the RAM market and then queued up behind itself.
The Touchscreen MacBook Is the Centrepiece
The machines to circle are codenamed K114 and K116: 14-inch and 16-inch high-end MacBooks with OLED touchscreens, an all-new design and M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, due between the end of 2026 and early 2027. This is the project we covered as the ‘MacBook Ultra’, the first Mac with a touchscreen, and the roadmap now gives it a slot in the schedule rather than a vague someday.
A successor pair on M7 Pro and M7 Max chips is already booked for the end of 2027 into early 2028, which tells you Apple considers the touchscreen MacBook a product line, not an experiment.
The Rest of the Queue
The remaining entries, in rough order. New 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Airs (J913, J915) arrive in early 2027 looking much like the current ones. A second entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, K104, follows later in 2027 on the M7, borrowing the K114 design. The MacBook Neo gets a refresh with an A19 Pro chip, more memory and new colours, timing unclear. And at the far end sit an OLED MacBook Air, 2028 at the earliest, and an OLED iMac with no date at all.
Nothing in the list rescues the Mac Pro, which does not appear. With macOS 27 having already cleared out the last Intel machines, the tower is starting to look like the next candidate for a quiet goodbye.
Why Apple Is Flooding the Zone
Gurman’s framing is that Mac sales are heading for a third straight year of growth, partly on the back of AI workloads that make laptop buyers care about memory and local compute again. Eleven models in two years is Apple moving to feed that demand while it lasts.
It also fits a pattern we have been tracking all month. Apple raised Mac and iPad prices in June, and this week it unveiled Apple Upgrade, a leasing scheme with 36-month terms on Macs. Higher prices, monthly payments, and a conveyor belt of eleven new machines to roll onto. The roadmap is the supply side of the upgrade treadmill Apple has just finished building.
Over to You
Eleven Macs, one obvious question: which one are you actually waiting for? The sensible M6 MacBook Pro this autumn, or the OLED touchscreen machine a year out? And does a 36-month lease change that answer, or just delay it?
