Delay expected for M5 MacBook delivery
The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as Apple is set to release a new MacBook Pro, according to various reports. The device is expected to feature the latest M5 Apple Silicon, based on a third-generation 3nm process, offering modest performance improvements of about 10-20% over the M4 chip.
The release date for the M5 MacBook Pro has been set for early 2026, a slight delay from the initially anticipated 2025 release. This delay is due to the manufacturing process of the M5 chips, as reported by Apple leakster Ming-Chi Kuo.
The design and display of the new MacBook Pro will remain largely the same as the current models, continuing with 14-inch and 16-inch miniLED displays and a similar visual design. However, there is a possibility that the device will support Wi-Fi 7, a feature that has not been present in MacBooks before but came with the iPhone 16 lineup last year.
In an interesting twist, the introduction of an OLED MacBook Pro is rumored but is expected to be delayed further until the release of the M6 chips, likely arriving between late 2026 and early 2027. This OLED MacBook Pro is anticipated to feature a design overhaul alongside the OLED panel, marking a more significant update than the M5 models.
There is also talk of a rumored new budget MacBook, powered by an A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro series, expected to arrive by the end of 2025 or early 2026. This would diversify Apple's MacBook lineup with a more affordable option.
In summary, the M5 MacBook Pro is expected to launch in early 2026, offering a modest upgrade. A major redesign with OLED and more advanced chips may come later in 2027. The new budget MacBook option could arrive sooner for those seeking an affordable alternative.
