The facts

  1. The new models use Apple's M5 Pro or M5 Max chips and run macOS 27 Golden Gate. Their PROLED XDR screens support touch input alongside the keyboard and trackpad. [1][2]

  2. In the United States, M5 Pro configurations start at US$2,899 for the 14-inch model and US$3,399 for the 16-inch model. These are Apple's announced starting prices, rather than prices for every configuration or region. [1]

  3. Apple lists 28 October for preorders and 6 November for initial customer deliveries, Apple Stores and authorised resellers. An order opening does not mean the computers have already shipped. [1]

Still unconfirmed

  • The announced release schedule does not establish actual stock or delivery times for every region and configuration.
