[ Gearbest Technology News]On February 5, according to the whistleblower “Fixed Focus Digital”, Apple plans to launch a new MacBook Pro equipped with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in March, instead of February as previously expected. In addition, the tipster also said that iPhone Air 2 will also be launched in 2026.

Fixed Focus Digital also revealed that the new M5 chip will use TSMC’s SolC advanced manufacturing process. This design prevents the CPU and GPU from being integrated on the same chip, helping to improve heat dissipation and improve performance. Although the news did not clearly state that these new chips will be exclusively used in MacBook Pro, considering that MacBook Pro is about to be updated, and previous reports on advanced packaging design are mostly related to MacBook Pro, the industry generally believes that the new M5 chip is most likely to be used in MacBook Pro first.
It is worth mentioning that the inventory situation of Apple’s independent dealers seems to confirm this change. There are reports that dealers’ inventories are decreasing. However, research by AppleInsider shows that it will still take about two months for custom-configured models from Apple’s online store to be shipped. This situation has been the case since October 2025, and there has been no significant change.
According to Gearbest, it was previously reported that Apple plans to launch a MacBook Pro equipped with an OLED screen and an M6 chip later in 2026.
