Overview

• Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak posted a short X video saying “something powerful is coming,” showing a MacBook silhouette, a V shape, and the word “Mmmmm” with five Ms.
• Outlets interpret the V and five Ms as clues to Apple’s fifth‑generation M5 chip, with the announcement expected imminently rather than at a live event.
• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple will start with a base 14-inch MacBook Pro using the M5, delaying higher-end Pro and Max variants into early 2026.
• Coverage indicates Apple may also unveil an M5 iPad Pro and a refreshed Vision Pro, supported by recent unboxings, benchmarks, and FCC sightings.
• Leaked Geekbench screenshots suggest roughly 12% faster multi-core CPU and up to 36% faster GPU versus M4, though Apple has not confirmed any specifications.
