Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is preparing online announcements this week, with timing likely shifted to Tuesday or later due to Monday holidays in the US and Canada.
- Leaked iPad Pro units from Russia show an M5 with a 9‑core CPU (3 performance and 6 efficiency cores), at least 12GB of RAM, and Geekbench results indicating roughly 12% higher multi‑core CPU and about 36% faster GPU performance versus M4.
- An updated Vision Pro is reported to move to the M5, with talk of an R2 input‑processing chip, a more comfortable Dual Knit Band, a possible Space Black option, and FCC filings indicating continued Wi‑Fi 6 support.
- A base 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the standard M5 is described as ready to launch, while M5 Pro and M5 Max models are expected in early 2026 due to volume constraints.
- Signals supporting an imminent reveal include recent FCC entries, retail shortages of baseline M4 MacBook Pro models, and unboxing and benchmark leaks, though Apple has not confirmed dates or specs.
