Overview

• Bloomberg and Mark Gurman report Apple will announce the next wave of hardware via short online videos or press materials this week rather than a live keynote.
• The near‑term lineup is expected to include an iPad Pro with the new M5, a base 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M5, and a Vision Pro revision focused on a faster processor and a redesigned headband.
• Higher‑end configurations using M5 Pro and M5 Max are reportedly not ready in volume and are now slated for early 2026 updates to the 14‑ and 16‑inch MacBook Pro.
• Regulatory listings and leaks add weight to the timeline, with FCC filings, AT&T website hints, and a Russian unboxing with Geekbench scores pointing to imminent iPad Pro M5 hardware.
• Reporting ties the M5 to TSMC’s N3P process and CPU/GPU advances from the A19 generation, suggesting notable performance and efficiency gains with few external design changes on these devices.
