Apple introduced the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro in October of last year. This initial model features a base M5 chip with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, available with 16GB or 24GB of memory and 512GB or 1TB SSD storage.
High-end MacBook Pro models, including the first 16-inch M5 model and both 14-inch and 16-inch versions equipped with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, are expected to be announced. A potential launch date for these models is speculated to be January 28.
This date, proposed by analyst Roman Loyola, is based on the concurrent launch of the Apple Creator Studio subscription. Loyola notes that both the new MacBook Pro models and the Creator Suite target a similar professional audience, suggesting a potential marketing synergy. While acknowledging the speculative nature of the date, Loyola points out that January 28 is a Wednesday, a day Apple frequently uses for product releases.
