Will not be surprised if MacBook Pro launches around October end as usual with availability in November. The new iPads too should launch at the same time. Not sure whether cellular capability will come now or whether it will be with M6 only as there are rumors regarding MacBook Pro with cellular being under development.

My guess is that Apple is releasing the M5 products that come with a binned processor, with 9 cores CPU for example, and saving for spring the rest of the lineup with the non-binned M5 and M5 Pro (maybe M5 Max)
 
Practically every laptop released in the past 15+mths has wi-fi 7 and they don't even make a big deal about it or even most advertise it, as it's just a standard normal expected addition to a 2024 year and beyond laptop. Apple let's leave it a couple years, cash in, then make a big deal out of it.

I think the cheap MacBook at $599 will launch in October. It would make no sense for them to only launch one variation of the MacBook Pro.

I think it will be at best $699, or even $799. It leaves enough gap for the MacBook Air at $999.

Indeed. Laptops with Wi-Fi 7 have been shipping since April 2023, a whole 2 1/2 years. The protocol is ancient by now...
