Apple is planning to upgrade the MacBook Pro models with M5 chips later this year. Additionally, the company is also working on M6 chips. Leaked identifiers hint at future Mac lineup upgrades, including the rumored A18 Pro-powered MacBook Pro. The speculated Macs are expected to launch this year or next.

The list of identifiers includes upgrades for the iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. The M5 MacBook Pro models are expected to launch later this year, possibly in October or November. The M5 iPad Pro refresh may also debut around the same time. The report suggests that the 14-inch and 16-inch variants of the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max MacBook Pro models could be released in the mentioned time frame.

The M5 MacBook Air and Mac Studio are likely to debut next year, while the Mac Pro might see an upgrade in 2027. The M6 MacBook Pro models, expected next year, could feature OLED panels, offering design changes like slimmer bezels and a thinner profile.

The leaked list includes identifiers for various Mac models, showcasing the potential lineup upgrades. The J700 identifier hints at a new, cheaper MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same chip used in iPhone 16 Pro models. However, it's unclear if the identifier corresponds to this product.
