On October 15, 2025, Apple officially unveiled its inaugural 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M5 chip. Serving as the flagship model for the next generation of Apple Silicon, this release represents the standard configuration within the MacBook Pro lineup. In a departure from its strategy during the M4 series rollout—when both Pro and Max high-end variants launched simultaneously—Apple has opted to prioritize the standard M5 chip for this initial release. Industry insiders anticipate the arrival of Pro and Max versions in the upcoming months.
