The surprising news comes from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman<\/a>, who has been a reliable source of Apple leaks and rumors in the past. Gurman\u2019s latest report contradicts his earlier reporting, which suggested that the M5 MacBook Pro would be unveiled near the tail end of 2025. That implies that something has changed Apple\u2019s mind on when to push the new laptop into the limelight.<\/p>\n Gurman hasn\u2019t provided a reason for the delay, so the cause of Apple\u2019s decision is anyone\u2019s guess. That said, the reporter noted that the timing is \u201cfluid,\u201d which suggests there\u2019s a chance that the next MacBook Pro could make an appearance before this 2025 is over.<\/p>\n Don’t miss these<\/p>\n Still, launching a MacBook Pro early in the year is not without precedent, as the M2 MacBook Pro<\/a>, for example, was released in January 2023. Still, that model has been the exception in the Apple silicon era, with the M1, M3 and M4 MacBook Pro<\/a> editions all coming out in the fall.<\/p>\n Disappointing delays<\/p>\n (Image credit: Future)<\/p>\n What could be causing this delay? Gurman didn\u2019t offer any hints here, and it\u2019s not immediately clear what Apple\u2019s thought process might be.<\/p>\n The M5 MacBook Pro is likely to be a minor update, with new Apple\u2019s M5 chip<\/a> being the main differentiator between it and the M4 MacBook Pro. That means issues with the chip could be one of the main reasons for the delay. Alternatively, Apple might simply be holding the device over until 2026 for sales reasons.<\/p>\n Next year could be a big one for the MacBook Pro, with a redesigned model<\/a> expected to arrive in late 2026. This version is slated to come with a new design and an OLED display<\/a>, marking the biggest update to the MacBook Pro since the last overhaul in 2021.<\/p>\n![\"MacBook](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nYT2PGYUnXLwWyfQxhSU8Y.jpg\")
