Apple Could Launch 3 New Products with M5 Chip This Week — Here’s What to Expect
Apple will update iPad Pro, Vision Pro, and base 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip in an online launch, continuing its October product refresh cycle, Mark Gurman reported.
On Sunday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported Apple plans to announce new products this week via online announcements, including an updated iPad Pro, Vision Pro, and likely a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chips.
Gurman notes the company follows an October product cycle, and Apple Store stock shortages plus unboxing videos from Russia and mass production signals suggest replacements are imminent.
Geekbench 6 results reveal the M5 chip has a 9-core CPU , offers up to 12% faster multi-core CPU and 36% faster GPU performance, and unboxing videos show 'iPad Pro' branding removal with 12GB RAM minimum.
Instead of a keynote, Apple will likely use press releases and short clips to unveil updates, with Monday's holiday possibly pushing announcements to Tuesday or later.
Looking ahead to the coming year, Apple may refresh entry-level iPad, iPad Air, MacBook Air, and launch iPhone 17e, while higher-end M5 Pro and M5 Max models are expected only early next year.
