The M5 MacBook Pro Max will arrive 6 months before the base M6 MacBook Pro which may not have an OLED screen. The M6 MacBook Pro Max with OLED won’t arrive until a year from now. There is still a 12 month gap between similar models.
Not necessarily true. But of course nothing is officially official until Apple themselves announces it, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...
I personally wouldn't waste my time or money on this stopgap M5 Pro/Max model however.

no one will guarantee you that you will get m6 this year

don't believe everything you read 😆
 
I expect to see the new M5 MacBook with Pro and Max chips, the new entry level MacBook and the iPhone 17e released within the next two months. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the iPad 12 along with the M4 iPad Air are released within that time frame as well.

I suspect a lot of new product from Apple this year. Later we’ll get the M5 Mac Mini and Mac Studio as well as an upgraded Studio Display sometime around summer. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see an M5 iMac in the fall. We could also see a new Apple display, maybe the long rumoured iMac Pro resurrected and that new Apple Hub (or whatever it’ll be called).

I was talking to a friend of a friend who has a cousin who works at an Apple Store, and they heard new MacBooks will launch before the end of October.
So we will see if this a lie...if new Macbook will release this spring or summer, then.....we know the truth and so do you
I still believe we will get this spring M5 pro/Max Macbooks and also the cheaper A19 if there is any...fall is for the iphone fold attention

Yes a spring refresh is very much possible, and within our end of October guidance. I might even start my own newsletter if my top secret Apple Genius is accurate. 😉
 
Lets hope your spy will not say also that new 18 series iphones will launch before the end of October...because if it will end up true, he will be a God spy

I just want a M5 base mini with 512GB and 16GB RAM 🤞
You can get that now for a reasonable price costco or the apple refurb store. While we are the wishing list I want a new studio with lots of memory (m3 ultra) and a 2tb drive.
 
6 months after the base M5 and 6 months before the M6 OLED remodel? Interesting...
The M2 Pro/Max models came out 6 months after the base M2 and nine months before the complete M3 base/Pro/Max debut. The entire early M series rollout was influenced (and delayed) heavily by lingering pandemic disruptions especially in China though, plus TSMC delays with the first generation 3nm node.
 
same you can ask....who will even buy this when the m7 is coming...and so on
The answer is, who needs them
Bro, first the m6 is going to be a revolution... the m5 no and the m6 is coming later this year... Like 6 months... The m7 will come like a year after m6 release !

keep dreaming....the m6 difference to m5 will not be as big as the M1 was...so no, for now its just speculation..you dont know the m6 pro/max are coming in 6 months
 
I stand by my prediction that the M6 OLED and maybe touchscreen (yawn) new form factor MBP will not appear until Q1 of 2027. That's the one I am waiting for to replace my maxed out 16-inch M1 Max MBP.
 
There is no shot we’re getting the OLED MacBook Pro this year. Especially with this timing. M5 Pro and Max in March?? If we’re lucky, we get the M6 in the same old 14” chassis later this year, with the redesigned models coming early 2027.
There's still a chance Apple could release an OLED MacBook Pro later this year. They might have the regular M6 chips though, and not the M6 Pro or Max chips.

Apple announced the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro on January 17, 2023. Then 9 months later, on October 30, 2023, Apple announced the M3 Pro and M3 Max MacBook Pro.

So OLED MacBook Pro with M6 could be announced in late October or early November (8 months separating M5 Pro and M5 Max MBP release and M6 OLED MBP release). Then wait until 1st quarter of 2027 to announce OLED MacBook Pro with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips.
