Apple M5 Chip Ready for Production Soon, New Patent Reveals Design Progress
Apple is making a big move this week after Bloomberg reported in its Power On newsletter that the company plans to launch the iPad Pro, Vision Pro, and 14-inch MacBook Pro. Although it is not a major event like the launch of the iPhone, it is expected to be announced on the Newsroom website with a short promotional video on YouTube instead.
The timing coincides with the Columbus Day holidays in the U.S. and Thanksgiving in Canada, leading many to speculate that Apple may postpone the official announcement to Tuesday or shortly thereafter. Although it has not been confirmed, the trend is clear that the launch will be quiet, not a big show in the company’s recent style.
For newer iPad Pro models There is an unboxing clip leaked from Russia, revealing almost the same design, but inside the upgraded M5 chip and a minimum of 12GB of RAM, the interesting thing is that the word iPad Pro may disappear from the back cover. It also rumors have two front-facing cameras to support both vertical and horizontal video calls. Even the clip has been leaked, the second camera has not been seen.

The Geekbench 6 test results in the same clip indicate that the M5 chip uses a 9-core architecture, divided into 3 Performance cores and 6 Efficiency cores. Although the exterior design has not changed.
Vision Pro is expected to get an M5 chip as well, although previously it was reported to use the M4 or a special R2 chip for input processing, Apple may start using the 2nm manufacturing process from TSMC in the next generation. This round adds a more comfortable Dual Knit Band strap, a new Space Black color, and Wi-Fi 6 support instead of the old model, but it’s unclear if it counts as a Vision Pro 2 or just an improvement. After the Vision Air project was canceled.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro should be the first in its segment. Uses the basic M5 chip. The M5 Pro and M5 Max will follow in early 2026, with the exterior barely changing as Apple plans to overhaul the next generation with OLED screens, touchscreens, thinner designs, and built-in cellular connectivity with the full M6 2nm technology.
M5’s blueprint is whispering it’s almost time Apple’s next leap in silicon is closer than you think, and we’ll be tracking every gate and wire over here at This Is Game SEA.
