Overview
- Preorders are live now for all three devices, with deliveries and in‑store availability set for October 22 after a low‑key Newsroom rollout.
- The M5 uses third‑generation 3‑nanometer tech with a 10‑core GPU that embeds a Neural Accelerator in each core, a 10‑core CPU, a 16‑core Neural Engine, and roughly 153GB/s unified memory bandwidth, with Apple claiming over 4x peak GPU compute versus M4 and up to 3.5x faster AI performance.
- The new iPad Pro (11‑ and 13‑inch) adds the N1 wireless chip for Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread plus a C1X modem on cellular models for up to 50% faster data, supports fast charging to about 50% in around 30 minutes, and starts at $999 and $1,299.
- Apple’s only new laptop is a 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the base M5, starting at $1,599, rated for up to 24 hours of battery life, offering up to 1.6x faster graphics than the prior M4 model and a new 4TB storage option.
- Vision Pro moves from M2 to M5 with about 10% more display pixels, refresh up to 120Hz, battery life of roughly 2.5 hours for general use or 3 hours for video, and a new Dual Knit Band, with pricing from $3,499.
