Apple plans to launch MacBook Pro with M5 chip in October 2025

Apple is expected to release the MacBook Pro with the new M5 chip in October 2025. This model will likely maintain the current starting price of $1,599, with no major design changes anticipated. The M5 chip is expected to offer a modest performance boost of 15%-25% over the M4 chip. The new model may include Thunderbolt 5 ports but will not feature an OLED display or a 5G modem. Overall, the M5 MacBook Pro will focus on performance improvements rather than significant design updates. Future models may see more substantial changes, including a redesign and new display technology, expected in 2026.
