According to sources close to the company, Apple is using high-equipped products this time. M5 Pro And M5 Max It aims to release its releases to the first months of 2026. Thus, the company will prefer to release hardware updates piecemeal.
According to AppleInsider, a MacBook Pro model codenamed “J704” is being tested with macOS Tahoe 26.0.2. This test shows that the device has reached the pre-production stage. Sources indicate that the model in question is standard 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 processor states that it is. In addition, Apple’s macOS 26.3 It is stated that the M5 Pro and M5 Max models that will work with the version will be introduced at the beginning of 2026. A similar process took place in previous years, the 13-inch model in the M1 series was introduced first, and then more powerful versions were released.
Past examples suggest Apple may employ this method again. In the M2 and M3 series, all models were announced at the same time. However, recently increasing production costs and testing processes seem to have caused the company to stagger the launches. In addition, the information that the processor and graphics units of the M5 Pro and Max versions have different production stages supports this plan. The longer production process has led Apple to offer the standard model first.
New M5 chipIt was developed with TSMC’s third generation 3 nanometer manufacturing technology. According to iPad Pro test results, this chip 12 percent faster multi-core performance than M4 processor And 36 percent higher graphics performance provides. It is estimated that this difference will have a significant impact, especially in professional applications. Despite everything, no major design changes are expected in these models. Innovations such as OLED screen and touch features In M6 series more likely to arrive.
Apple organizes its production schedule according to 2026
Supply chain reports, M4 MacBook Pro revealed that stocks started to decrease in some markets. This shows that Apple has adjusted the production line for the new model. In addition, the fact that only one new MacBook Pro model is included in the official registration documents in America strengthens the possibility that only the M5 version will be released in the first place. According to analysts, the company may announce the product with a short promotional video later this year. Moreover, there is no mention of a special launch event that Apple plans for the end of 2025. This shows that promotion can be done silently.
Besides all this, Apple will use the M5 chip not only in the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro And Vision Pro It was shared that it plans to use it in its models as well. Both of these products are expected to be updated by the end of 2025. On the desktop side of the company, mac mini, mac studio And iMac It is reported that the M5 transition for the models will take place in mid-2026. According to the hardware plan, after Apple completes the M5 era with M6 processor And with OLED display It will switch to MacBook Pro models.
This calendar of Apple is based on the company’s aim to keep the processor development and software adaptation processes close to each other. The company aims to distribute the new macOS version simultaneously with the M5 models. It is anticipated that macOS Tahoe 26.3 will be available for general use in early 2026. If the M5 MacBook Pro is introduced in the last quarter of 2025, it is expected to start selling in limited regions before the end of the year.
