released sometime between late 2025 and early 2026. With only minor upgrades expected for this model compared to last year’s significant M4 update, there aren’t many incentives to purchase this yet-to-be-revealed device. Although this MacBook promises an exceptional display, Apple’s slick design featuring an enhanced Center Stage camera, and a more robust chip, buyers will face two choices: either save money by opting for an M4 MacBook Pro or bide their time for the M6 MacBook Pro, which is anticipated to bring substantial changes.
From our perspective, it appears that Apple is treating the M5 MacBook Pro similarly to the M2 — launching it just a tad too late, only for a newer, superior model to come along less than a year after its release. Here’s why that could be the case, and why it’s wise to consider your options carefully before upgrading to the M5 MacBook Pro.
