There's nothing in the rumor mill to even remotely suggest it. The M5 seems pre-mature but boy-oh-boy it would stun the world if that was what was announced tomorrow!
Apple's M5 chip is rumored to be in mass production - but we're still waiting for M4 MacBook Airs
Talk about being ahead of the curve...
The M5 in the MBA release would severely damage the entire MBP line. Not happening...
You're right! Thanks for breaking me out of this fever dream.
That would be totally bonkers!Unless... They also released the M5 MBP at the same time!
Would not happen, it costs money to re-tool the fab and they want to get at least 12 months out of each design unless there's something catastrophically broken in it.Unless... They also released the M5 MBP at the same time!
I’m guessing some small improvements to screen specs, connectivity, camera, and maybe a nano texture option (but they might want to reserve it to the Pro line).
Well, I hope (dream) they add the iMac colors. But not likely to happen as it would add a lot of complexity in production and shipping and return/exchanges.
Do you happen to know if this is going to be live streamed, or just an announcement on their webpage or Twitter or something?
Have they announced an actually time for the announcement/event? If not, I imagine there's no livestream. People would need to know what time to tune in, after all.
The online store will go down for four hours while they add the new products. That's one way to tell.
It would be really great if Apple would at least provide an announcement letting us know that though.
they probably wont.. just a press release like last year on a random monday/tuesday
Very interesting launch indeed. Apple could technically have a press release this afternoon for the other products (unlikely though). I am thinking within two weeks. Probably, Monday, February 24, or Monday, March 3rd press release available the same Friday of that week. This would certainly align with Mark Gurman "within weeks" comment and also "the latest March" comment.
Quick Thought: I wonder if Tim Cook would tease another event for next week or the week after, maybe this is Apples way of not having a single Spring Event but small teased events broken up over weeks. 🤔

That's not something they, or most companies, typically do unless it's a major new release that they need to hype in advance. It's just an update. They'll probably announce it through a press release and have preorders begin the same day. They don't gain anything by announcing it weeks in advance. The last MBA came out in March 2024. I think it's reasonable not to expect an update before March 2025.
If you want the announcement of teaser announcing the release of specs, you get AMD
Why would they pre-announce a product when they are currently selling an existing product in that segment?
i think i can wait another 2 weeks for this to be released thats if they announcing the first week of march
