Overview
- Apple has sent invitations to select creators for an "Apple Experience" in Los Angeles scheduled for January 27–29, according to posts and media reports.
- Creator Studio, a new subscription bundle for pro creative apps including Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, is set to launch on January 28 at $12.99 per month or $129 per year.
- Multiple outlets report speculation that Apple could preview or announce M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros around the event, but Apple has made no hardware announcement.
- Supporting signals cited by reports include supply-chain chatter, prototype identifiers J714 and J716, and extended shipping times for some current MacBook Pro variants.
- The schedule lands just before Apple’s January 29 earnings call, and with the base 14-inch MacBook Pro updated to M5 in October, expectations for higher-end refreshes in early 2026 have grown.
