Apple teases M5 MacBook
TL;DR
Apple is teasing a new M5 MacBook Pro launch via a cryptic social media post. The announcement aligns with recent reports of M5 chips in MacBooks, iPads, and possibly Vision Pro.
Apple is teasing the imminent launch of a new MacBook with an M5 chip. In an X post, Apple SVP of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak wrote that “something powerful is coming,” and a short video in the post includes the words “coming soon” and a silhouette of an Apple laptop. Joswiak’s post also includes the word “Mmmmm” — five Ms, get it? — and the laptop silhouette is in the shape of a Roman numeral V.

This new laptop isn’t a big surprise, as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple is set to announce a base-model MacBook Pro with an M5 chip this week. The imminent launch of M5-equipped products from Apple isn’t a shock, either: iPad Pros with an M5 chip have also already been unboxed on YouTube, and Gurman said that the new tablets are set to be announced this week, though Joswiak hasn’t hinted at that just yet. Gurman also said that a Vision Pro with “a faster chip” is set to be announced this week, which could be the new headset recently spotted in an FCC filing.
