Since Apple started releasing Mac models with its own processors, it’s become easier to predict when new models are expected to launch. While we’ve had some surprises over the years, such as the Mac Studio, Cupertino has been pretty consistent with its releases.
With the M5 family just around the corner and rumors about a MacBook with the A18 Pro chip, AppleInsider has obtained a leaked roadmap of Mac models Apple plans to release through the end of 2026. The publication got the information from Apple product identifiers.
Here’s what you need to know about the leaked roadmap for Mac models:

- J714c: MacBook Pro 14-inch with an M5 Max chip
- J714s: MacBook Pro 14-inch with an M5 Pro chip
- J716c: MacBook Pro 16-inch with an M5 Max chip
- J716s: MacBook Pro 16-inch with an M5 Pro chip
Besides these expected Macs, Apple has been working on an M5-equipped iMac with the identifier J833ct. There’s also an M5 Pro Mac mini in development with the identifier J873s. While the publication found the identifier for the base-model M5 Mac mini, it also expects Apple to release it.
Finally, Apple might be planning to release a new Mac Pro by the end of the year. With the identifier J704, it’s unclear whether the company will use the M3 Ultra or an M5 Ultra chip. Apple typically takes a few more months to unveil its most powerful processor.
