JAKARTA - Apple is reportedly preparing to refresh the MacBook Pro line which will be released later this year. Bloomberg's well-known technology journalist Mark Gurman called the launch something for sure" indicating that Apple remains consistent with their annual tradition of releasing the latest MacBook Pro.

As usual, the upcoming MacBook Pro model will be equipped with Apple Silicon's latest generation chips, namely the M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max. This chip will still be produced with a 3nm fabrication process from TSMC, more precisely using third-generation N3P technology.

Even though it comes with a new chip, the performance improvement offered is expected to be quite moderate. In addition to this internal upgrade, there are no major changes in design or other features. For significant updates such as OLED screens and thinner designs, users will have to wait until the end of 2026.

Although not yet officially rumored, it is likely that this MacBook Pro model will support Wi-Fi 7, following in the footsteps of the iPhone 16. This feature was previously absent from the MacBook Pro model with the M4 chip.

Apple is expected to release a 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip in October, according to previous launch patterns. This launch is also likely to coincide with the latest iPad Pros that use the M5 chip.

This MacBook Pro with the M5 chip is expected to only be a minor refresher from the previous model. If you're considering buying the MacBook Pro, you can select the currently available models, or wait until a big update in 2026.

For those interested in buying today, several MacBook Pro models are currently available with attractive discounts. For example, 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip is sold out from 1410 US dollars, and 14-inch M4 Pro models start from 1767 US dollars both around 200 US dollars cheaper than normal prices. Meanwhile, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro is also being discounted by more than 10% for the weekend.
