The supplies of the M4 M4 M4 M4 M4 model seems to be constrained in the middle of rumors that an improved M5 model could be launched this year.
As indicated by BloombergMark Gurman, personalized configurations of the MacBook Pro MacBook Pro model have a delayed shipping date and will not be delivered to customers until October 23 to 28. The restricted offer could be an indication that Apple plans to launch a new M5 model at a given time in October.
Custom configurations of 14 -inch and 16 inch MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips have more standard delivery dates from October 15 to October 20 with available express delivery. Personalized configurations of the 14 -inch macbook Pro have a significant delay in comparison, without an express shipping option.
It is possible that Apple plans to refresh the 14 -inch macbook Pro with an M5 chip, while waiting for the start of 2026 to introduce 14 inch and 16 inch MacBook Pro models with high -end M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
Last week, the FCC disclosed several future devices, including a single MacBook Pro model. The leak was unusual because the FCC included only one model number MacBook Pro, but there are generally several model numbers for different size and chip options.
The unique model listed in FCC documents is logical if Apple divides M5, M5 Pro and M5 Max macbook Pro launches.
Rumors on the M5 MacBook Pro were confused this year, which could be explained by an amazed launch. At the beginning of 2025, Gurman said that the M5 macbook Pro models would be released before the end of the year. In July 2025, Gurman said that Apple was planning to launch new macbook Pro models at the beginning of 2026, after having decided to postpone their debut. Last weekend, Gurman changed his prediction and said that the new macbook Pro models would be published at some point between the end of 2025 and early 2026.
In August, Apple Ming-Chi Kuo analyst suggested that the high-end M5 chips would not be introduced into the macbook pro models before 2026, but he mentioned the basic M5 chip.
If Apple presents the M5 MacBook Pro in October and then waits until spring 2026 to introduce macbook pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, this may not be good news for these rumors 2026 OLED MACBook Pro. Over the past two years, rumors have suggested that Apple will introduce a macbook Pro at the end of 2026. It is unusual to have two macbook pro refresh in a single year, but not unknown. The MacBook Pro was updated with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in January 2023, then M3 Pro and M3 Max Chips in October 2023.
A launch at the beginning of 2026 for the M5 Pro and M5 Max macbook Pro models could mean that the OLED MACBook Pro models did not come in 2026 after all, with Apple to hold them until 2027. Of course, it is also possible that the FCC documents are incomplete, and Apple has plans to introduce the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max at the same time. Here are the scenarios that we could see:
It is not uncommon for Mac synchronization to be a little more difficult to pin than the synchronization of the iPhone, because there are fewer machines manufactured and less interest in the design details of the box manufacturers and other parts. Apple also has no time defined of the year for Mac refreshments, and there are variations from year to year.
At this point, it is not clear if we will get an event in October. We also expect the M5 chip to arrive on the Ipad Pro and the pro vision, as well as rumors suggest that Apple could update the Apple TV and the Homepod Mini. If the M5 macbook Pro launches, it is five new devices in the fall 2025 calendar, but unfortunately, these are only specification bumps. It does not seem that the devices that will be refreshed in the coming months will have design changes, and in this situation, Apple often launches with press releases.
The M5 chip confuses the situation. All M-Series Next-Number fleas upgrades were announced at events, not through press releases. Apple unveiled the M1, M2, M3 and M4 during events. Some of the “upgrade” chips were introduced with a press release, such as m2 pro and m2 max, but never a main chip.
The M5 chip could be the first that Apple announces with a press release, or we could obtain a short October event like the Mac “Scary Fast” 2023 event. The October 2023 event included the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips in the macbook Pro and the iMac, and no Mac has obtained design updates.
