Apple Nears Mass Production of M5 MacBooks and New 27-Inch Displays

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman now pegs the rollout for late 2025 to early 2026, cautioning against expectations for October or November.

Overview

  • Gurman reports that new MacBook Pros (J714, J716), MacBook Airs (J813, J815) and two 27-inch monitors (J427, J527) are approaching mass production.
  • The launch window is described as the end of this year through the first quarter of next year, with a near-term October or November release viewed as unlikely.
  • At least one of the upcoming displays is expected to be a refreshed Studio Display, though detailed specifications were not disclosed.
  • Separate late-2025 plans reportedly include M5 versions of Vision Pro and iPad Pro alongside updates to Apple TV and HomePod mini.
  • First-half 2026 targets are said to include an iPhone 17e, a new low-end iPad, and an iPad Air moving from M3 to M4, with one report suggesting the M5 MacBook Pro could be the last before an OLED redesign.
