The MacBook Pro M5 and iPad Pro M5 are two new Apple products that will receive chips from the same series. It looks like this time the laptop will be the first to hit the market. When will it premiere? The MacBook Pro M5 is set to debut in fall 2025. If you’re waiting for the new iPad Pro tablets, you’ll probably have to arm yourself with more patience.
The MacBook Pro M5 and iPad Pro M5 were supposed to debut in 2025, according to recent rumors. Will that be the case? New information on this subject comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The new laptop with Apple’s upcoming chip is indeed expected to appear this year. However, we will probably have to wait longer for the tablets.
MacBook Pro M5 laptops in 2025
Gurman claims that Apple plans to introduce MacBook Pro M5 series laptops to its offer in 2025. This is to happen in the fall, so probably in October or November of this year. The computers will get new chips and we can also expect the Pro and Max iterations again. However, the technical specifications are shrouded in mystery.
We know that the MacBook Pro M5 will not be revolutionary. In addition to refreshed processors, the new laptops will certainly introduce other improvements, but there are no signs of a breakthrough. These will be more cosmetic changes. The screens will still not be OLED, although there are plans to switch to this technology. However, this will have to wait longer.
We know that Apple plans to implement OLED screens in its own laptops for more demanding customers in 2026. This will coincide with larger changes involving design. In addition, we expect M6 series chips in these laptops.
iPad Pro M5 tablets in Apple’s offer not soon
Some time ago it was reported that Apple would introduce tablets from the iPad Pro M5 series to its offer in 2025. However, it is possible that this will not happen and we will have to wait a bit longer for these machines. Until when? Here Gurman mentions the first half of 2026. Which theoretically would almost fit into the year and a half cycle of these devices. It is worth adding that the premiere in the fall of this year is not completely certain.
So first we will find Apple M5 processors in new Mac computers. Last year it was different and M4 chips were first found in iPad Pro tablets. What. Interestingly, this happened a few months before the debut of the latest MacBook Pro laptops. This year it should be “as usual”.
It is suggested that Apple also plans to use chips from the M5 series in the next generation of Vision Pro goggles. In the first version, the M2 processor was decided. There are plans to add support for the Apple Intelligence function package, which will happen in the next quarter. It will be introduced with the visionOS 2.4 update, which will appear in April. Earlier, this week, the software will reach the hands of beta testers. At the same time, we can expect a pilot program for iOS 18.4.
