Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has shared new details about future Apple MacBooks with M5 chips. Gurman tracks inside information at Apple and often predicts upcoming products correctly. His latest scoop suggests Apple plans to launch new super-slim MacBooks early next year. These laptops will feature the next M5 chips but might keep the same 15-inch and 13-inch designs as current models. The existing MacBook Air lineup with M4 chips came out last month, starting at $999 and introducing a new blue color option.
Apple seems focused on internal upgrades rather than changing how their laptops look. According to Gurman's March 30 newsletter, engineers have already started developing the M5-powered MacBook Air models. These computers will likely remain fanless and maintain their extra-slim appearance. The company just refreshed the Air series, yet attention has already shifted toward what comes next. These patterns help buyers decide whether to purchase current models or wait for upcoming versions.
Looking further ahead, Gurman believes Apple might completely redesign MacBook Pro computers in 2026. This major update would include both M6 processors and OLED screens. Before that happens, we can expect M5 MacBook Pro models around October 2025, following Apple's usual release schedule. The company will probably reuse the current MacBook Pro bodies since they last changed their design back in 2021. Apple typically updates internal components more frequently than external appearances.
The manufacturing of M5 chips reportedly began earlier this year. Industry sources claim these processors use an advanced 3 nanometer (N3P) production process at TSMC factories. This suggests Apple continues pushing forward with faster, more efficient chips even while keeping the same laptop designs. The company balances regular performance improvements with less frequent physical redesigns. Current MacBook owners can decide whether subtle internal upgrades justify buying new models or waiting for more dramatic changes coming later.
