Overview

  • Apple’s Creator Studio bundle is officially set to launch on January 28, prompting fresh chatter about a same‑day MacBook Pro reveal.
  • Speculation from Macworld and others links the pro‑apps rollout and Apple’s January 29 earnings call to a possible timing window, noting Apple has unveiled Macs in late January before.
  • Bloomberg, AppleInsider, and supply‑chain signals continue to indicate the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros are more realistically tracking for spring 2026.
  • Reports attribute the delay to unfinished chip work, including a possible modular CPU/GPU design that complicates scheduling.
  • Apple released a 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the base M5 in October 2025, and expectations for the Pro/Max chips include 25–30% performance gains and stronger on‑device AI, with no major chassis changes; Apple has not announced the new models.
