Apple’s Mac lineup has been performing extremely well with its desktop and laptop computers with potent power.
2025 looks like a year of slow and steady improvements for the Mac lineup rather than radical change.
The first Mac arrived in 1984 and brought in consumer-friendly computers. The current Mac lineup is powered by Apple’s M-series chips.
The next MacBook Air arrives next year with an M4 chip and an expected significant performance and efficiency boost.
The new MacBook Air will likely be the first Mac announced next year; Apple usually releases new products in spring.
Apple likely will update the 13-inch and 15-inch models of the 2025 MacBook Air at the same time with the same starting price and specs.
Apple should update the Mac Studio and Mac Pro to the M4 Max chip and should be introduced with an ultra-chip – the M4 Ultra.
The M4 Mac Studio should arrive in the second quarter of the year, with the M5 MacBook Pro likely arriving in November, with modest updates compared to the M4.
No rumors suggest iMac and Mac mini will receive M5 upgrades next year; Apple recently updated both computers with M4 chips.
2025 will be a quiet year for Mac, and the really exciting Mac upgrades will arrive in 2026.
