Federal Communications Commission documents reveal Apple plans to release new MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models with M5 processors. The filings identify device model A3434, which does not match any current MacBook Pro in production. Additional model codes correspond to M5 iPad Pro devices, according to MacRumors.
The regulatory submissions suggest launches could occur before the end of this year or in early 2026. Apple typically files with the FCC only after development concludes and production begins. The M5 MacBook Pro will feature internal upgrades with M5, M5 Pro and M5 Max processors rather than external design changes.
The M5 iPad Pro recently appeared in a leaked unboxing video showing performance improvements over the M4 version. Neural Accelerators may enhance on-device artificial intelligence functions similar to the A19 Pro chip in iPhone 17 Pro models. A major MacBook Pro redesign with OLED displays remains scheduled for 2026.
