What’s happened? MacRumors spotted Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings listing Apple model numbers that don’t match current products, pointing to unannounced iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models. The codes strongly suggest unannounced hardware:
This is important because: The FCC does not publish chip details, but the filings align with reporting that the next iPad Pro and MacBook Pro will feature Apple’s likely new M5 chip at the heart.
Why should I care? The M4 chip already set a new bar for performance in Apple’s laptops and tablets, praised for both efficiency and power. That makes the arrival of M5 especially significant for creators, developers, and other pro users who push hardware to its limits.
Okay, so what’s next? Apple is reported to be preparing mass production of M5 MacBook Pros, while an iPad Pro launch is widely anticipated in the near term. The FCC filings also included a new headset, likely to represent a Vision Pro.
