New MacBooks: supposedly no M5 models this year

Apple is apparently not planning any new MacBook models this year. Actually, the group was expected to present new MacBook Pro machines for the first time in autumn-probably in October or November with the Apple Silicon processor M5, which has not yet been published. The machines usually appear every year. However, this is said not to work this year, the usually well -informed Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.

M5 comes in advance in the iPad Pro

Accordingly, there will be only one device with M5 in 2025: a new iPad Pro. According to Gurman, this could appear in October that Apple’s internal code names are J817, J818, J820 and J821. 11 and 13-inch models would therefore be planned. Apple had debuted a completely new Apple Silicon chip in an iPad Pro in 2024-with the iPad Pro M4, which was already published in May. M4-MACs then followed in autumn, in the form of the MacBook Pro M4 with 14 and 16 inches in variants with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max as well as iMac M4 and Mac Mini M4.

Now, however, Apple does not seem to be able to keep the annual crime at the MacBook Pro. Instead, according to Gurman, the group wants to switch to the first half of 2026 with the new MacBook Pro models, supposedly together with new MacBook-Air machines. All should receive the new M5 chip. According to the report, other spring models are an iPhone 17E as the successor to the iPhone 16E (with A19-SoC from the iPhone 17, otherwise similar to the predecessor) as well as a new iPad Air with M4 chip and a new, accelerated standard IPAD. Apple also also plans a new monitor as the successor to the Studio Display.

MacBook Pro with OLED only in 2027?

The M5 shifts could lead to a redesign of Apple’s MacBook Pro models. Originally, market observers had predicted that the M5 devices appear in 2025, which do not visually differ from the M4 variants, and then appeared in the autumn OLED models in 2027. These should be more powerful, possibly (again) thinner and the line-up miss more PEP after Apple has been maintaining the current look for years.

Apple currently uses exactly two OLED screens larger size: both in the iPad Pro M4 with 11 and 13 inches. Otherwise, the iPhone has been installed in the iPhone X OLED screens. Now it is conceivable that Apple is waiting with the redesign of the MacBook Pro until 2027. However, this is not yet confirmed, even Gurman’s new statements remain rumors.
