Reports Point to January 28 for Potential M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro Debut

The unconfirmed date stems from a columnist’s theory linking the hardware to Apple’s Creator Studio launch.

Overview

  • Apple has officially scheduled its Creator Studio subscription for January 28.
  • Macworld’s Roman Loyola suggested the same day could bring M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, a notion echoed by 9to5Mac and The Mac Observer, though Apple has not announced new hardware.
  • Apple released a single 14-inch MacBook Pro with a base M5 chip in October, using a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU with only memory and storage configurable.
  • The expected expansion would add the first 16-inch M5 model and introduce M5 Pro and M5 Max variants across both 14- and 16-inch sizes.
  • Apple has framed M5 as a major on-device AI and graphics step, claiming up to 3.5x AI performance and up to 1.6x faster graphics versus the previous generation.
