Plans to release the new MacBook Pro with an M5 chip are delayed, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Typically, Apple has announced its new lineup of MacBook Pros with updated chips in October or November.

For the last few years, Apple has launched a new MacBook Pro in the fall like clockwork – but this year, that could all change. That’s because a new report has claimed that the M5 MacBook Pro might be pushed back to early 2026, with Apple supposedly “internally targeting” that date instead of the regular late-year release window.

Apple Inc. is planning an ambitious pipeline of new products for release during the first half of 2026, including a new low-end iPhone, multiple iPads and upgraded Macs.
