In a snippet of the Power On newsletter released today, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman provided an updated release timeline for the new MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max, which are expected to launch before the spring.<\/p>\n

MacBook Pro to launch soon<\/h2>\n

For some odd reason, a snippet of the Power On newsletter went out today to free subscribers, though a full version was never released. So, there isn\u2019t a ton of information to go off of here. <\/p>\n

In the introduction of the newsletter, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman writes the following:<\/p>\n

A new MacBook Pro is planned for the macOS 26.3 release cycle<\/p>\n

Now, this isn\u2019t necessarily groundbreaking information. Other leakers have reported the same in the past. However, it serves as yet another source to suggest that the new MacBook Pro is launching rather soon.<\/p>\n

This is mostly significant because of the fact that macOS 26.3 is set to release in the coming weeks. Typically, spring Apple products are tied to the x.4 release cycle. Those releases tend to debut in March or April.<\/p>\n

So, while this isn\u2019t necessarily a confirmation of MacBook Pros launching prior to the spring, it is a pretty solid datapoint.<\/p>\n

Release date<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll never have a \u201cfor sure\u201d release date until Apple actually announces it, though it seems rather likely that these MacBook Pros will debut sometime this February. <\/p>\n

Then, later in the spring, Apple will kick off its much larger product launch cycle, where iPhone 17e, M5 MacBook Air, new iPad and iPad Air models, a new Studio Display, and more are expected.<\/p>\n

For now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens. At the end of the day, this is a very no-thrills launch, as most MacBook buyers are better off waiting for the redesigned models that\u2019ll launch as soon as October.<\/p>\n
