BREAKING: Apple’s M5 Chip Revolution – New MacBook Pro, iPad Pro & Vision Pro Leaks Explode

by
13 October 2025
  • M5 MacBook Pro imminent: Leaks (macOS Tahoe code) show Apple is finalizing a base 14″ MacBook Pro with the M5 chip for a late‑2025 release [1] [2]. AppleInsider notes that an unreleased Mac (ID J704) is in testing with macOS 26.0.2 – “gearing up for the debut of the base model M5 MacBook Pro” [3]. Current M4 Pro stock is tight and FCC filings have “leaked the model number of an unreleased MacBook Pro,” all but confirming the switch to M5 [4]. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman likewise says Apple will announce a new 14″ MacBook Pro (entry model) with an M5 chip any day now [5] [6]. (Higher-end M5 Pro/Max versions will follow in “early 2026,” per multiple reports [7] [8].)
  • MacBook Air also updated: The next MacBook Air refresh is slated right after the new Pro. According to sources, 13″ and 15″ MacBook Air models with the M5 chip (codenames J813/J815) will arrive in early 2026 [9] [10]. These will replace the current M4 Air (launched Mar 2025) and ship with macOS 26.2 [11]. TechRadar’s leak summary agrees: an M5 MacBook Air is expected to debut “early in 2026” shortly after the base MacBook Pro [12]. Notably, industry analysts (e.g. Ming‑Chi Kuo) say Apple has pushed the flagship MacBook Pro refresh out to 2026 to perfect the M5 chips [13], meaning no major MacBook Pro revamp in late 2025. In fact, one Apple rumor site notes there will be “no new MacBooks in late 2025, then M5‑powered MacBook Pro and Air launches in early 2026” [14].
  • Pro/Max and Pro redesign later: After these M5 releases, Apple is planning a more dramatic overhaul. The high-end 14″/16″ MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips will arrive in early 2026 with macOS 26.3 [15] [16]. (AppleInsider points out this timing “aligns with prior product launches” and that bigger changes like OLED displays, thinner chassis, even a MacBook Pro touchscreen are expected with the M6 generation in ~2027 [17] [18].) Desktop Macs get their turn too: a refreshed Mac mini (J873) and Mac Studio (J775) with newer silicon are due in summer 2026 on macOS 26.4 [19], and possibly a new iMac. (AppleInsider: “macOS 26.4 contains files for a Mac known as J833ct, which may be an iMac” [20].) Overall, 2026 is shaping up busy: “Before the new year, though, we’ll be able to see the M5 iPad Pro and M5 MacBook Pro,” and then early‑2026 for Air/Pro models, with mini/Studio by mid‑year [21] [22].
  • iPad Pro gets M5 chip in October: Leaks show the iPad Pro is next to get M5 silicon. Unboxing videos (Russia) reportedly confirm the upcoming 11″ and 13″ OLED iPad Pros have an M5 chip and 12 GB RAM (with minimal design changes except dropping the “iPad Pro” label on the back) [23]. Mark Gurman says these iPad Pros will arrive around October 2025, about 17 months after the last M4 iPad Pro – suggesting roughly an 18‑month cycle [24]. TechStock (TS2.tech) likewise reports the 2025 iPad Pro is “slated to adopt the M5 chip on 11″ and 13″ OLED models around October 2025” [25]. AppleInsider confirms an M5 iPad Pro “refresh” is imminent: Gurman’s newsletter says an updated iPad Pro is “on the cards,” and AppleInsider predicts an M5 iPad Pro will “arrive in the next week” alongside a Vision Pro update [26] [27].
  • Vision Pro 2 arriving soon: Apple’s mixed‑reality Vision Pro headset is also due for a modest upgrade this year. The updated model (sometimes called Vision Pro 2) will sport a faster chip and improved comfort. Sources say Apple will move from the original M2 to the new M5 chip in the next Vision Pro, which is rumored to “launch by late 2025” [28] [29]. Expected tweaks include a redesigned “Dual Knit Band” for better comfort and possibly a new Space Black color option [30] [31]. Notably, AppleInsider cites an in‑production M5 iPad Pro and Vision Pro 2, and Gurman’s report suggests both are “in mass production and set up for an imminent release” [32]. (Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo also has predicted an M5 Vision Pro by late 2025 [33].)
  • Timing – no big keynote, just press releases: All evidence points to announcements rolling out via press releases or online updates, rather than a splashy in‑person event. AppleInsider notes that Gurman expects these October updates to drop through the Apple Newsroom and brief videos, not a full keynote [34] [35]. In fact, Gurman says Apple will likely not stage a big event at all, but will still reveal the products “this week” (meaning mid‑October) with an updated 14″ MacBook Pro, new iPad Pros, and Vision Pro [36] [37]. (Forbes and other outlets have speculated about an “October event,” but current leaks strongly favor quick updates instead.)

In summary, multiple sources (AppleInsider, TechRadar, MacRumors, 9to5Mac and industry analysts) paint a consistent picture: Apple is about to roll out its new M5 chip across its product line. A base-model MacBook Pro (14″, M5) appears ready in late 2025, closely followed by updated 13″/15″ MacBook Airs in early 2026. The iPad Pro is refresh is hitting with M5 silicon (likely this month), and even the Vision Pro headset is getting an M5 upgrade before year’s end [38] [39]. High‑end MacBook Pro (M5 Pro/Max) and other Mac updates arrive in early 2026, with bigger redesigns (OLED screens, M6 chips, etc.) slated thereafter [40] [41]. Apple’s own code leaks (macOS Tahoe 26) have essentially confirmed these timelines, and experts like Mark Gurman and Ming‑Chi Kuo back them up [42] [43]. In short: Apple’s fall 2025 lineup is shaping up to be a “spec bump” wave of M5 upgrades across Macs, iPads and more – with the full 2026 roadmap already visible in leaked code and industry forecasts [44] [45].

Sources: Authoritative tech outlets and analysts, including AppleInsider [46] [47], TechRadar [48] [49], MacRumors [50] [51], 9to5Mac [52], and TS2.tech [53] [54], along with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Ming‑Chi Kuo, all cited above. These sources corroborate the leaked timelines and chip rumors in detail.

  • Stock market shares worry similarities with 1929 crash, journalist says
    October 12, 2025, 11:27 PM EDT. Renowned financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin argues that today's Wall Street echoes the late 1920s, with lofty prices preceding a potential downturn. The piece notes a surging AI boom and technology-fueled gains that may be unsustainable. Sorkin concedes he cannot predict the timing or depth of a crash, only that one is likely. Despite a recent pullback, markets have climbed to record highs, fueling investor anxiety over overheating and possible bubble territory. The article revisits the 1929 era's heavy borrowing and buying on margin, highlighting how access to credit and optimism once invited risk. Today's investors face a similar mix: technocratic hype and easy capital, which could lift prices further but carry substantial valuation risk if the rally falters.
  • Stock market echoes of 1929: Sorkin warns of a coming crash as AI boom fuels rally
    October 12, 2025, 11:25 PM EDT. Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin compares today's market to the late 1929 run-up, warning that big gains and high debt can precede a collapse. He cites an AI- and tech-driven rally as a potential sugar rush, but argues the economy is not yet proven sustainable. While the market has hit record highs, some investors fear the ascent is overheating, raising the possibility of a crash that could rival the First Great Depression. Sorkin stresses he cannot predict timing or depth, only that a correction seems likely. The piece recalls the 1929 era of margin borrowing and speculation, asking whether today's AI bubble is real or euphoric hype.
  • Sorkin warns Wall Street echoes 1929 after AI-fueled rally
    October 12, 2025, 11:23 PM EDT. Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin compares today's market to the 1929 crash, arguing that lofty highs often precede a steep decline. He notes a new Roaring 20s in the 2020s, driven in part by the AI and tech boom, but cautions the rally may be unsustainable and could be a bubble. Sorkin can't predict timing or depth of a downturn, saying only that a crash is likely sooner or later. The story traces earlier excesses, including buying on margin in the 1920s, when ordinary investors borrowed to buy stock, aided by lenders and bankers who framed it as democratizing access. Today, hundreds of billions chase AI-driven gains, raising questions about whether this boom is real strength or a fragile extension of momentum in stocks.
  • Sorkin warns that today's stock market mirrors 1929, predicting a crash
    October 12, 2025, 11:21 PM EDT. Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin argues that the current Wall Street rally shows worrying parallels to 1929, when rampant speculation and margin buying collapsed. He notes a multiyear AI/tech boom propping up the economy, but warns it could be a sugar rush or bubble, and cannot say when or how deep a crash would. He describes a new roaring twenties in the 2020s, with record highs and anxiety over whether prices are overpriced. The piece recalls the 1929 era's easy credit and democratized access to stocks, warning that today's massive AI investments may similarly distort risk. Sorkin remains hopeful about fundamentals, yet believes a crash is likely at some point.
  • Stock market echoes 1929 warning as AI boom fuels new highs, Sorkin says
    October 12, 2025, 11:19 PM EDT. Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin warns that today's market echoes the Roaring '20s, with records set amid an AI- and technology-fueled boom. He says the rally could be a sugar rush-artificial or unsustainable-and that a crash is possible, though timing remains uncertain. The article revisits 1929, when speculation and credit expansion via margin lending helped fuel gains before a collapse. As stocks climb to highs again, investors face questions about overvaluation, bubbles, and the durability of growth led by AI. Sorkin stresses vigilance and discipline, arguing that today's optimism must be weighed against fundamentals lest history repeat with a modern twist.
