What Apple Might Launch in October 2025: M5 iPad Pro and MacBook

It's no longer just a rumor, and it's really happening—Apple's October 2025 product event is just around the corner, with insiders predicting new gadgets to be launched right this week. Last month, the new iPhone 17 series was released, which shows that Apple is in a hurry to build up its product range in 2025.

One of the main chips of the event, according to the sources, will be Apple’s M5 chip which is meant for the next generation of iPads and MacBooks. The analysts are of the opinion that M5 will become a hardware champion for the company, and the company will continue its efforts by introducing M5 everywhere thus getting rid of the dependency on third-party silicon.

iPad Pro series would be the center of attraction at the event where new M5 fitted model will be the focal point. The previous M4 iPad Pro was released in October last year, which became the basis for timing and feature rollout, and has thus set a trend for new iPad Pro. The M5 iPad Pro is said to keep the same look but at the same time give a performance upgrade thanks to the new chip.

Besides the iPad Pro, Apple might also announce the M5 MacBook Pro during the event. It seems that the laptop will keep the same external design as before, but the upgraded M5 chip will give a hint of Apple’s plans for 2026. Earlier it was speculated that this launch might get pushed back, but there are now signs pointing towards a release during this month.

According to sources from Bloomberg, Apple has not mentioned any specific date yet. However, looking at the history, one can say that the announcement may come after a Tuesday launch or it may be distributed over several days, a strategy that the company adopted last year in order to get maximum media coverage.
