The September event saw the release of the iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, Apple Watch 11, Apple Watch SE3, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and AirPods Pro 3. However, new Apple products, including an updated MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro, are expected soon.
An updated MacBook Pro is reportedly in the immediate pipeline. Stock shortages of some models in Apple Stores suggest an imminent release for this device. A video also claims to show the new model.
An update to the iPad Pro line is also anticipated, following its last refresh in May 2024. Both the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro are expected to feature no cosmetic changes from their last updates.
The focus for these updates will be on upgrading their processors. Reports indicate that the M5 processor will be introduced for the new iPad Pro and a new version of the Apple Vision Pro.
However, Macworld states that M5 Pro or M5 Max chips are not yet expected for the laptop. On Sunday, Oct. 12, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman shared insights in his Power On newsletter.
Gurman stated that Apple’s much-anticipated October product launches are "about to happen." He confirmed the M5 iPad Pro and a Vision Pro with a faster chip and improved strap are already in mass production.
Gurman noted that Apple is gearing up for an imminent release for these products. He also suggested a new MacBook Pro is likely to be announced this week.
He previously reported that Apple planned to launch MacBook Pro updates early next year. This was due to the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips not being ready in volume until then.
The entry-level M5 chip, however, is ready, as it is in the new iPad. This indicates the base-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is also prepared for launch, with the new chip as the main change.
