Apple Set to Launch M5 MacBook Pro Later This Year
News Desk
Islamabad: Apple is preparing to release updated MacBook Pro models featuring its next-generation M5 chip lineup later in 2025, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. While not a groundbreaking update, the refresh aligns with Apple’s typical annual cycle and is considered a sure bet.
What to Expect from the 2025 MacBook Pro
The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros will be powered by the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips, manufactured using TSMC’s enhanced 3nm N3P process. These upgrades are expected to deliver incremental performance improvements over their predecessors, rather than dramatic leaps.
Although the design will remain unchanged for 2025, major updates are rumored for 2026—including an OLED display, a slimmer, lighter chassis, and other significant design enhancements.
Potential Wi-Fi 7 Support
While not officially confirmed, the new MacBook Pros are likely to include Wi-Fi 7 support, a feature Apple skipped in the M4 models but is expected to introduce with the iPhone 16 lineup.
Launch Timeline
Apple typically unveils MacBook Pro refreshes in October, and the 2025 models are expected to follow that pattern—launching alongside the upcoming M5-powered iPad Pro.
Should You Buy Now or Wait?
If you’re considering a new MacBook Pro, your best options are to either take advantage of discounts on current M4 models or wait until 2026 for a more substantial redesign. The M5 update will offer a notable performance boost, but those looking for visual and structural innovation may want to hold out for the next generation.
