Apple’s Mac Release Timeline Until 2026 Revealed in Confidential Roadmap

Since Apple began launching Mac models featuring its own processors, predicting the arrival of new models has become simpler. Although there have been occasional surprises over time, like the Mac Studio, Cupertino has largely maintained a steady release pattern.

With the M5 series on the horizon and speculations surrounding a MacBook equipped with the A18 Pro chip, AppleInsider has secured a confidential roadmap detailing Mac models Apple aims to introduce through the conclusion of 2026. The information was sourced from Apple product identifiers.

Here’s what you should know about the confidential roadmap for Mac models:

Multiple Macs are slated for release in late 2025

In line with earlier speculations, Apple intends to unveil the forthcoming generation of its processors, the M5, during the latter half of the year. This implies the company is set to debut the new M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips. Here’s what AppleInsider has revealed:

– J714c: MacBook Pro 14-inch featuring an M5 Max chip
– J714s: MacBook Pro 14-inch featuring an M5 Pro chip
– J716c: MacBook Pro 16-inch featuring an M5 Max chip
– J716s: MacBook Pro 16-inch featuring an M5 Pro chip

In addition to these anticipated Macs, Apple has been developing an M5-equipped iMac identified as J833ct. There is also an M5 Pro Mac mini in the works under the identifier J873s. While the publication has located the identifier for the base-model M5 Mac mini, it anticipates its release as well.

Lastly, Apple may be aiming to introduce a new Mac Pro by year’s end. Identified as J704, it remains uncertain whether the company will opt for the M3 Ultra or an M5 Ultra chip, as Apple typically requires additional months to reveal its most powerful processor.

These Macs are expected in early 2026

In early 2026, Apple is preparing to launch two new MacBook Air models. The leaked Mac roadmap indicates the arrival of new 13-inch and 15-inch variants with identifiers J713 and J715.

iPhone Application Creates AI Voices for Social Media Updates

The most significant advancement that the AI era has introduced to computing is the capability to communicate with computers through natural language. It’s not merely about typing text prompts in a field to obtain information, initiate coding sessions, or casually converse with the AI. You can utilize voice to interact with programs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and others, and they will respond accordingly.

The more sophisticated the AI product, the more refined its voice generation abilities. You can select from various options, actions, and tones. The AI also accommodates dozens of languages, meaning you don’t have to converse in English, even though it might be the primary choice for many of them.

ChatGPT features an impressive Advanced Voice Mode that’s accessible across models. Gemini Live enables you to communicate directly with the AI from your mobile device. Additionally, there are AI content generation applications like Veo 3 (also from Google) that can create background music and dialogue.

But what if you require an AI tool specifically tailored for generating spoken content? This is where ElevenLabs excels, being a trailblazer in the industry. The great thing about ElevenLabs’ technology is that it’s now portable. You can utilize the newly launched ElevenLabs: AI Voice Generator app on both iPhone and Android to create audio content, and it’s available for free.

Why would I need to produce AI audio?

I’ve voiced my frustrations more than once about OpenAI missing a crucial feature that Gemini provides. Google’s NotebookLM technology is integrated into Gemini, enabling users to convert Deep Research reports into interactive podcast-like audio experiences. The closest I’ve managed with ChatGPT Deep Research reports was using Siri on my iPhone to read them aloud to me after exporting the chat to the Notes app.

An application like ElevenLabs: AI Voice Generator could resolve that issue for me. It would allow me to enter the text I need and produce an audio version of that material.

However, that’s not the primary function of ElevenLabs’ AI voice technology. AI Voice Generator truly excels if you are a creator needing to incorporate voice-over content into your clips. Perhaps you’re posting short videos on Instagram and TikTok but prefer not to use your own voice. That’s where applications like AI Voice Generator prove to be invaluable.

Leaks Indicate Titanium Models for iPhone Fold and iPhone 18 Air

A couple of years back, Apple transitioned the stainless steel and glass finishes on the iPhone Pro models to titanium and glass. Following several iterations with these materials, speculation indicates the company might revert to aluminum and glass for the iPhone 17 series. Nevertheless, reports suggest that the entirely new iPhone 17 Air will be the sole model to sport a titanium finish.

Currently, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu reports that the 2026 iPhone Fold and iPhone 18 Air will also feature a titanium frame. According to a note reviewed by BGR, Foxconn is anticipated to gain from the increasing utilization of titanium, which “is expected to be incorporated in the iPhone 18 Fold (titanium + aluminum) and iPhone 18 Air.”

The analyst additionally observes that market forecasts have been adjusted downward for the iPhone 17 cycle. Despite Apple planning a completely new design for the Pro models and unveiling an ultra-slim device, the absence of Apple Intelligence capabilities may be reducing interest in this cycle.

What we know about the iPhone Fold

After years of speculation, it seems that Apple is finally gearing up to unveil an iPhone Fold in late 2026. This device was initially anticipated to take on a Galaxy Z Flip-style design, but Apple now seems to be pursuing a Z Fold-like format.

Featuring a 7.8-inch crease-free inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, the iPhone Fold could be a “truly AI-driven” device. While Apple is still striving to offer its most captivating Apple Intelligence features, it may depend on third-party LLMs to remain competitive in the AI race.

Some rumors indicate the company might replace Face ID with Touch ID integrated into the Side Button. For this initial generation, the Face ID sensors could be too bulky to accommodate.

Apple is expected to concentrate on a dual-lens configuration for the rear camera along with a single front-facing lens. The secondary rear lens will be accessible in both folded and unfolded states. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the device will measure between 9 to 9.5mm thick when folded and 4.5 to 4.8mm when unfolded. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm when folded. If Apple achieves such thinness, it would be remarkable.

Although unconfirmed, the iPhone Fold will probably utilize the A20 or A20 Pro chip, adhering to Apple’s existing naming pattern for its processors.
