Last October, Apple updated its entry - level MacBook Pro, which was the first to feature the M5 chip. However, the high - end versions equipped with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips have remained elusive. Numerous indicators suggest that the new high - end MacBook Pro could hit the market by the end of this month. Here are the reasons backing up this speculation:

Firstly, Apple's innovative creative application suite, Creator Studio, is slated for release on January 28th. Secondly, Apple's upcoming quarterly earnings conference call is projected to occur on January 29th. In the past, Apple has frequently unveiled new products on the eve of its earnings calls, creating a pattern. For instance, in January 2023, Apple released models boasting the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips around the same time.

This new high - end MacBook Pro will come in M5 Pro and M5 Max variants, crafted using TSMC's advanced 3nm process. Aside from the chip upgrade, there won't be any major alterations.

Looking ahead, the M6 MacBook Pro is anticipated to make its debut as early as the end of 2026 or 2027. It is expected to feature a cutting - edge OLED display, touch functionality, a slimmer profile, built - in cellular connectivity, and will be powered by the 2nm processor, the M6.
