On October 15, more than a month following its fall new product launch event held on September 9 of the previous year, Apple issued a press release on its official website. The announcement heralded the arrival of the new-generation iPad Pro and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, both powered by M5 chips. The highly anticipated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, featuring the cutting-edge M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, are slated for release by the end of this month. Apple has extended invitations to a select group of creators to participate in an exclusive experience event in Los Angeles, California, from January 27 to 29. Speculation among foreign media outlets suggests that the unveiling of these new products may coincide with this event. Indeed, some creators took to social media on the 7th of this month to share that they had already received their invitations. Should Apple choose to launch these new products during the event, the announcement is likely to occur on either Tuesday or Wednesday. This timing is strategic, as Apple is set to release its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 on Thursday, and traditionally, new product announcements precede major corporate events.
