M5 MacBook Air Coming Spring 2026
Apple plans to launch MacBook Air models equipped with the new M5 chip in spring 2026, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple is also working on M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models that will come early in the year. Neither the MacBook Pro models nor the MacBook Air models are expected to get design changes, with Apple focusing on simple chip upgrades.
A much bigger refresh is planned for either late 2026 or early 2027, with Apple developing thinner, lighter OLED MacBook Pro models with touch screen capabilities.
The late 2026/early 2027 refresh will mark the first design update to the MacBook Pro since 2021.
As for the MacBook Air, it received a design update in 2022, though Apple did introduce a larger-screened 15-inch model in 2023. Rumors suggest the MacBook Air will get an updated LCD display in 2027, so design tweaks could come at that point.
Author's summary: Apple is set to release M5 MacBook Air in spring 2026.
