Apple is hinting at the upcoming release of a new MacBook featuring an M5 chip. Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, indicated the launch in an X post, stating that “something powerful is coming.” The accompanying video highlights the phrase “coming soon” alongside a silhouette of a laptop designed to resemble the Roman numeral V. Joswiak’s post includes the letter “M” repeated five times, presumably referencing the M5 chip.
The anticipated launch aligns with earlier reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who indicated that Apple plans to announce a base-model MacBook Pro equipped with the M5 chip soon. The introduction of M5-integrated devices is not unexpected; iPad Pro models featuring the M5 chip have already been showcased on YouTube. While Gurman noted that these tablets are also expected to be announced this week, Joswiak did not specify any details regarding the iPads in his recent communication.
Additionally, Gurman mentioned a new Vision Pro headset with an upgraded chip anticipated for announcement this week. This aligns with previous reports concerning the device that was noted in a recent FCC filing. The expected products, including the new MacBook, are part of Apple’s ongoing advancements in its hardware offerings, though specific details and release dates remain unconfirmed.
