MacBook Pro Refresh Delayed Until Late 2025 or Early 2026 for M5 Models

Apple's MacBook Pro refresh, traditionally scheduled for October, may face a delay until late 2025 or early 2026 for the M5 models, according to recent reports. FCC filings and leaks hint at an upcoming refresh, with connectivity improvements and a new chip on the horizon.

Connectivity enhancements could include Apple's N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, along with improved features for AirDrop and Personal Hotspot. Higher-end models might sport Thunderbolt 5. The FCC briefly revealed a new MacBook Pro model with the A3434 code, suggesting an upcoming refresh.

The M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros launched in January 2023, breaking from the usual October schedule. The M5 MacBook Pro is expected to be an internal upgrade rather than a major redesign, with multiple configurations including standard M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max variants. The M5 chip is rumored to offer a performance boost of 15-25% over the M4, along with improved energy efficiency.

Apple is working on new MacBook Pro and iPad models, likely powered by the upcoming M5 chip. While the release of the M5 MacBook Pro may be delayed, users can expect improved performance and connectivity in the upcoming refresh.
