Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman flagged low retail stock and Oct. 21–28 online delivery estimates for some M4 iPad Pro and base 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro configurations, a pattern often seen before new models appear.
- Late-September FCC documents listed unreleased Apple model numbers that outlets say align with a MacBook Pro and new iPad Pro variants, adding official corroboration without detailing specs.
- Multiple reports and leakers now point to an October debut for at least one M5 MacBook Pro, likely the entry 14-inch model, with an M5 iPad Pro and a revised Vision Pro also rumored.
- Several outlets cite a leaker’s claim that M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros could slip to 2026 due to a new chip design that separates CPU and GPU blocks, a detail that remains unverified.
- Apple has not announced dates or an event, and any introductions could arrive via press releases despite mounting inventory and regulatory signals.
