Apple Teases M5 Chip as First Releases Expected This Week

Reports indicate a base 14‑inch MacBook Pro leads the rollout, with higher‑end versions not due until 2026.

Overview

  • Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak posted an official teaser that strongly hints at the M5, using a V-shaped graphic and five Ms alongside a MacBook Pro silhouette and “coming soon.”
  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple plans to start rolling out new devices this week, with M5 versions of the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and a new Vision Pro most likely first.
  • Only the entry 14‑inch MacBook Pro is expected initially, and reports say the M5 Pro and M5 Max models for 14‑ and 16‑inch variants are now targeted for 2026.
  • The updated 14‑inch MacBook Pro is reported to keep the current external design, focusing the refresh on the processor upgrade.
  • Supply chatter highlights very low Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini stock in retail stores, and Gurman reports refreshed models plus a second‑generation AirTag are coming, though timing remains uncertain.
