Overview
- Preorders are open now for the M5‑powered 14‑inch MacBook Pro, 11‑ and 13‑inch iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, with in‑store availability set for October 22.
- Apple cites up to 3.5x faster AI performance and up to 1.6x faster graphics versus M4, driven by a 10‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU with per‑core Neural Accelerators, a 16‑core Neural Engine, and 153GB/s unified memory bandwidth.
- The 14‑inch MacBook Pro keeps its design but doubles SSD speeds and adds configurations up to 4TB, starting at $1,599 with claimed 24‑hour battery life.
- The iPad Pro adds Apple’s N1 wireless chip with Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread, a C1X 5G modem on cellular models, faster charging to 50% in about 30 minutes, and more base RAM on lower capacities; pricing starts at $999 (11‑inch).
- Vision Pro moves from M2 to M5 with roughly 10% more rendered pixels, support for up to 120Hz, a battery life estimate of 2.5 hours general use, and a new included Dual Knit Band, keeping the $3,499 price.
