According to the renowned analyst Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing the new generation of the iPad Pro and the Macbook Pro, both enhanced with the brand new M5 chip. If expected, these devices would arrive throughout the month of October, following the calendar of previous years.
New iPad and Macbook Pro in 2025
The last iPad Pro reached stores in May 2024 And it was a revolution for the line, incorporating an OLED screen for the first time, a thinner and light design, the powerful M4 chip and compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. However, this year's update aims to be much more discreet, with the M5 as the main novelty. No drastic changes in the design or the characteristics of the device are not expected, which could disappoint those expected a more aggressive evolution. Therefore, one of the typical reiterations that Apple performs on its devices to incorporate the new chips, without making any more change.
The same happens with the Macbook Pro rangewhich will also receive the M5 chip this year with hardly any additional modifications. Apple is expected to set the great novelties by 2026, when it is rumored that it will launch a redesign with OLED screen and a thinner chassis. This means that if you are thinking of renewing your laptop, perhaps it is best to wait a little more to enjoy a more significant improvement.
Will it be worth the change?
Despite the apparent lack of great changes, the M5 could make a notable difference in terms of energy performance and efficiency. Apple has demonstrated in the past that its evolution in processors is unstoppable, and although the jump from M4 to M5 may seem less in terms of marketing, its impact on real use could be more relevant than it seems.
This movement reinforces Apple's strategy to update its high -end devices with relatively short cycles, keeping its ecosystem at the forefront of performance. However, it also generates doubts about whether users will feel the need to change their iPad Pro as soon after the 2024 model. From a distance, with the launch still several months, most likely if you have a 2024 iPad Pro or a MacBook Pro with M4 Chip, it is not worth the change. It can be interesting for new product users, who could start with the new M5 chip.
While the official confirmation by Apple still is missing, Gurman's information is usually accurate in regards to the company's plans. If its prediction is fulfilled, the autumn of 2025 will bring a new generation of devices with the M5 chip, although the real blow on the table could arrive in 2026 with the expected redesign of the Macbook Pro.
