Apple Confirms a New MacBook, and the M5 Chip Might Be Its Biggest Flex

Apple plans to continue its October tradition with the M5-powered MacBook Pro, potentially adding a new color and maintaining current design features.

  • Greg Joswiak, Apple's SVP of Marketing, posted on X a teaser saying `Mmmmm... something powerful is coming`, showing a MacBook Pro folding into a V with 'Coming Soon' and reports say the launch could go live on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
  • Apple has a pattern of October Mac announcements, and Apple Stores report low availability of M4-powered MacBook Pros, while Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple is preparing two to three products this week.
  • Leaks suggest the base M5 model will offer about 12% faster CPU, up to 36% faster GPU, and 12GB RAM minimum compared to the M4 MacBook Pro.
  • Higher-End M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro versions won't arrive until 2026, while M5 iPad Pro and refreshed Vision Pro are in mass production, and a dark blue color option hints at late 2025 models.
  • Apple's M5 focus positions multiple products for updates, including Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini upgrades, while TSMC 2nm process chips likely arrive later next year.
