Overview
- Apple’s M5 debuts in a 14-inch MacBook Pro, new iPad Pro models and an updated Vision Pro, with deliveries starting October 22 in key markets including Germany.
- The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at €1,799—€100 less than the M4 model—after Apple removed the in‑box charger, and it is available to preorder now.
- Apple cites about a 15% CPU uplift versus M4, roughly 1.6× GPU performance in pro apps and about 3.5× faster AI tasks, built on a third‑generation 3 nm process likely corresponding to TSMC N3P.
- The iPad Pro lineup (11 and 13 inches) starts at €1,099, adds Wi‑Fi 7 and higher memory bandwidth, and in lower‑capacity models uses a 9‑core CPU variant while 1 TB and 2 TB configurations get 10 cores.
- The refreshed Vision Pro moves to M5, introduces a more comfortable dual-knit headband, ships with visionOS 26 and is priced from €3,699, with preorder availability beginning today.
