JAKARTA - The latest news mentions that Apple will soon launch the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro with the M5 chip in October 2025. Although it comes from an unverified source of rumors, Apple's release pattern over the past few years suggests that this prediction is most likely true.

Models of devices with M5 chips for the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro are said to have been leaked through FCC documents. In addition, a Russian YouTuber is reported to already have the latest generation iPad Pro. Stock of MacBook Pro and iPad Pro devices is now also said to be running low in several markets, confirming the suspicion that the launch of the new generation is imminent.

If these rumors are true, Apple will likely introduce the following line of products in the near future:

14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip

iPad Pro with M5 chip

Apple Vision Pro (M5 version)

Apple TV 4K

HomePod mini 2

AirTags 2

However, analysts expect only the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro to actually launch in mid-October, while other products may follow. Rumors also suggest that Apple will not hold a major launch event, but rather release these products through a press release from October 13 or 14, with a gradual release every week until the end of November.

In the last 25 years, Apple has recorded 13 events in October nine of them after October 20. This means the opportunity for an official event this month is around 50 percent.

Historically, October is often the launch month of Mac products. For example, in October 2023 Apple announced MacBook Pro M3 and iMac M3 at the Scary Fast. Previous years were also filled with major launches, such as the MacBook Pro with M1 Max and M1 Pro (2021) chips, the iPhone 12 (2020), as well as the MacBook Air and the iPad Pro (2018).

In addition to major events, Apple also launched new products through press releases in October. In 2024, Apple released iPad mini, iMac M4, and MacBook Pro M4 only through online announcements. This pattern reinforces allegations that the release of the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro M5 will be carried out in the same way.

Strategically, October is the ideal time for Apple to launch a product ahead of the year-end shopping season. After the iPhone was introduced in September, Mac and iPad products usually come a month later to maintain global production and distribution balance.

With the increasingly complex supply chain situation due to new trade rates under Donald Trump's administration, Apple seems to be trying to adjust its launch schedule to remain efficient.

However, the public does not have to wait long to find out the truth of these rumors because, if true, the MacBook Pro and the M5-powered iPad Pro will arrive in the coming weeks.
