On August 13, Ming-Chi Kuo, a prominent Apple supply chain analyst, published a research report predicting that the MacBook Pro featuring the M5 chip will likely be unveiled in 2026. The report highlights that the iPhone 18 will adopt WMCM (Wafer-level Multi-Chip Module) technology for the A20 chip, a process that integrates filling and molding to enhance production efficiency and yield rates. However, Kuo emphasizes that the high-end M5 chips, possibly including the M5 Pro and M5 Max, will continue to utilize separate filling and molding processes in their manufacturing, adhering to a distinct approach. Notably, Kuo underscores the significance of the 2026 timeframe, contrasting it with earlier rumors suggesting a potential release of the M5 chip-powered MacBook Pro by the end of 2025.
