Overview

• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple plans online announcements in the coming days, with timing likely pushed past Monday’s U.S. and Canada holidays.
• 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, roughly 12% faster multi‑core CPU and about 36% faster GPU versus M4, and no “iPad Pro” inscription on the back.
• The refreshed Vision Pro is expected to move to M5, include a more comfortable Dual Knit Band, possibly add a Space Black option, and retain Wi‑Fi 6 per recent FCC filings.
• A base 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the standard M5 chip is described as likely for this wave, while M5 Pro and M5 Max versions are targeted for early 2026, aligning with reported shortages of the current base M4 model in stores.
• Other rumored updates, including new HomePod mini, Apple TV, and AirTag models, remain on Apple’s roadmap but are not anticipated to be part of this week’s announcements.
