Apple recently unveiled its iPhone 17 series, and now the company is reportedly gearing up for another event in October. However, this time the focus will not be on any iPhone, but on M-series chips. Several reports indicate and give a fair idea about what the company might announce.

The M5 Chip

Alongside the chip announcement, Apple might also bring a new addition to iPad Pro models, equipped with the M5 chips.

These MacBooks are expected to include 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes in Pro variants. M5 MacBook Air could follow shortly after, possibly around February or March 2026.

Vision Pro Headset

Other products that Apple might bring to the forefront are the highly anticipated Vision Pro headsets, powered by the M5 chip. Other than Vision Pro, there could be new iPad Pro models.

Altogether, Apple could unveil or hint at five major products across late 2025 and early 2026: the M5 chip itself, M5 iPad Pro, M5 Vision Pro, M5 MacBook Pro, and M5 MacBook Air.
