The MacBook Pro M5 looks ready for its debut. Following new benchmarks and unboxing leaks tied to the iPad Pro M5, Apple’s own Online Store now shows longer delivery times for current models, a classic sign that next-gen hardware is almost here.

Apple hints at MacBook Pro M5 rollout

Some 14-inch MacBook Pro variants now show delays of two to three weeks, while higher-storage models ship in just over a week. These delays mirror what often happens before a new Apple product drops. At the same time, certain iPad Pro M4 versions are now out of stock.

With the MacBook Pro M5 already passing through the FCC, its arrival seems imminent. But there’s a twist: early filings suggest the laptop won’t ship with Wi-Fi 7, a feature many expected.

MacBook Pro M5 may launch quietly

Apple likely won’t make major changes to the MacBook’s design this cycle. Most sources suggest that the real redesign, with an OLED touchscreen, is scheduled for the M6 generation next year.

Still, Apple’s fall refresh could include more than just the MacBook Pro M5. Other products reportedly on deck include:

• iPad Pro with Apple M5 and 12 GB RAM
• Vision Pro mixed reality headset with M5
• Updated Apple TV 4K
• New HomePod mini

The current update focuses more on internal boosts than dramatic overhauls.

iPad Pro gets modest M5 upgrade

As for the iPad Pro, rumors suggest only subtle changes. The design and display remain untouched, but RAM may increase to 12 GB on base models. There’s also talk of a second front camera being added for better video calls.

The unboxing video leak earlier this week showed the iPad already in the wild, and benchmark results confirmed M5 integration.

MacBook Pro M5 signals slow, steady evolution

Apple isn’t rushing into bold changes this year. Instead, the MacBook Pro M5 represents another internal refinement while larger design shifts wait in the wings.

Still, with delivery timelines stretching and FCC filings complete, the wait won’t be much longer. The quiet countdown has already begun.
