The excitement surrounding Apple’s upcoming product launches continues to build.

Get Ready: Two New Apple Studio Displays on the Horizon
I’m expecting this low cost MacBook, new MacBook Airs, new MacBook Pros, new Mac displays over the course of the next several weeks. There’s also a new Mac Studio, iMac and Mac mini this year. Huge year for the Mac. And that doesn’t even include the touch MacBook Pro end of 2026.https://t.co/gcAKwOVHpb

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple is set to unveil a series of products, including the highly anticipated budget-friendly MacBook, new MacBook Pros, and various MacBook Air models. The announcement of these products is expected to happen within the next few weeks.
Agree with Mark. March 4 will likely be highlighted by a low-end MacBook and maybe a new lower-priced iPhone 17e (the 16e came out a year ago).Siri won’t be addressed. My take: The low-end products have historically led to a small and short bump in sales.https://t.co/rVtgyjnUAD

Insight from Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management suggests that the focus for the upcoming March 04 event will likely revolve around the new low-cost MacBook and the iPhone 17e. Notably, Apple is expected to utilize an innovative aluminum manufacturing process for the new budget MacBook, potentially incorporating design elements from the iPhone 16 Pro’s thermal architecture.
Furthermore, with current inventory levels for the M4-series MacBook Pro being critically low, it appears that Apple is poised to debut the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models shortly.
In terms of the new Apple Studio Displays, recent findings from the macOS 26.3 update have revealed three unidentified product codes: J700, J427, and J527. The J700 identifier is already confirmed to relate to the budget MacBook, leading many experts to believe that the J427 and J527 identifiers pertain to the new Studio Displays. Earlier, the J527 code also featured in a leaked pre-release iOS build, which has added credibility to these claims.
Reports indicate that at least one model of the forthcoming Apple Studio Display will be equipped with a ProMotion-like variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This display is expected to support both SDR and HDR output and utilize the advanced A19 chip, a significant upgrade from the A13 Bionic chip found in the existing models.
As the March event approaches, the anticipation for Apple’s new offerings, particularly in their display technology, remains high.
