As soon as next month, Apple is expected to introduce the next MacBook Pro New design. We’ll see OLED, the first touch screen on the Mac, thinner chassis, dynamic island, and more. This upgrade is rumored to be called the MacBook Ultra, although it’s not necessarily clear where it will come from. MacBook Pro brand. Now, it is very clear.

At first, one would assume that the base model 14″ MacBook Pro with the M5 chip would carry the MacBook Pro moniker. Then Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that Apple will also bring some elements of the MacBook Ultra design to the MacBook Pro with the M7. For me, this makes the idea of the ‘MacBook Ultra’ brand less likely.

Now, a new report makes the idea of both MacBook Pro And the MacBook Ultra that feels more in line.

according to OmdiaApple will keep the current miniLED display panel in production until 2028.

This means two things: for one, if it exists MacBook Pro In the lineup, the newly designed model may come with a premium price. It also means that the new model is likely to be called the MacBook Ultra.

So, in the coming years, the MacBook series may look like this:

Fall 2026:

MacBook Neo (A18 Pro)
MacBook Air (13-inch and 15-inch, M5)
MacBook Pro (miniLED, 14 inches, M6)
MacBook Pro (miniLED, 14-inch and 16-inch, M5 Pro and M5 Max)
MacBook Ultra (OLED, 14-inch and 16-inch, M5 Pro and M5 Max)

MacBook Ultra (OLED, 14-inch and 16-inch, M5 Pro and M5 Max)

Wrap up

If all comes to fruition, the MacBook lineup will be bigger than ever. Finally, age MacBook Pro The rest of the lineup may be short-lived. I imagine it’s part of Apple’s strategy to keep the starting price low, as the company has done in the past.

In this situation, I can see the remaining miniLED MacBook Pros at $ 2499 starting, while the Ultra starts higher, maybe $ 2999.
