M5 MacBook Pro and two new Mac displays coming soon
Over the weekend, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reported that Apple is “nearing mass production” of the M5 MacBook Pro, M5 MacBook Air, and two new Mac monitors.
These products are all “slated for release between the end of this year and the first quarter of next year.”
My takeaways
Two details stood out to me from this report:
an M5 MacBook Pro launch this fall is still very much a possibility and we’re getting not one, but two new external displays soon
It’s curious that despite October being here already, and Apple’s remaining 2025 products expected to be unveiled soon, the timing of the M5 MacBook Pro still sounds up in the air. I suspect Apple has already decided when it’s launching, but Gurman’s sources are in the dark.
The arrival of two new displays is even more intriguing, especially since per their J427 and J527 codenames, they appear to both be 27-inch displays. Perhaps Apple plans to offer two tiers of its Studio Display, creating high and low end options.
