APPLE $AAPL PLANS FULL MAC LINE OVERHAUL TO MEET AI DEMAND • • Apple is preparing to debut new versions of every Mac it sells across this fall and next year, per Bloomberg. Development timeline: • • - Now-fall 2026: refreshed low-end 14" MacBook Pro (J804) with new M6 chip, first new iMacs in two years (J833, J834), both complete but not shipping until fall • - Late 2026-early 2027: high-end 14"/16" MacBook (K114, K116) with new design and OLED touchscreen, both firsts for the Mac, using M5 Pro/M5 Max chips • - Early 2027: refreshed MacBook Air (J913, J915) • - 2027: base MacBook Pro (K104) with standard M7 chip • - Late 2027-early 2028: M7 Pro/M7 Max follow-ups to the high-end MacBook • • Mac sales are projected to climb for a third straight year, with a following among users running AI agents. Demand for the Mac mini and Mac Studio, popular for AI workloads, is outstripping supply, with some current models not shipping for at least three months. • • Apple raised prices on all Macs in June. Bloomberg separately reported Tuesday that Apple is preparing a device leasing program including Macs, launching July 28.

What would make this resolve YES?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Apple officially releases a MacBook with a touchscreen by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
In order to be considered released, the product must be available for purchase by the general public within the specified timeframe. An announcement or unveiling alone is not sufficient.
A qualifying release of a MacBook with a touchscreen by Apple will only count if it is explicitly branded a MacBook. For example, an iMac will not qualify to resolve this market to "Yes". A qualifying touchscreen must be a true screen; a touch bar will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Apple. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
