With the iPhone 17 series now officially launched, rumours have shifted focus to Apple’s upcoming October announcements. In the coming days, the tech giant is expected to unveil a bunch of new devices, which includes a new 14-inch MacBook Pro.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Apple’s Vice President of Marketing, Greg Joswiak, shared a video with the caption “something powerful is coming,” accompanied by a graphic that appears to show a MacBook Pro. The short six-second-long teaser starts with a text that says “coming soon” in blue, hinting that Apple might be planning to sell a blue coloured variant of its upcoming flagship laptop.

The laptop in the video is also folded into a V shape, which might be a clever way to tell that the upcoming MacBook Pro might be powered by the in-house developed M5, Apple’s fifth-generation chipset. However, a report by Bloomberg suggests that the upcoming MacBook Pro will only be coming with the entry-level M5 chip, as the M5 Pro and the M5 Max chips are still not ready for production.

According to a recently leaked video, the M5 chipset is said to bring 12 per cent faster multi-core CPU performance and might sport a 36 per cent faster GPU compared to its predecessor, but we will have to wait and see as this is for the iPad Pro.

Alongside the M5 MacBook Pro, Apple is also expected to launch a new iPad Pro, a second-generation Apple Vision Pro powered by the M5 chipset and a new dual-knit headband that helps make it more comfortable for extended use. The tech giant is also expected to unveil the next-generation AirTag and Apple TV 4K with the A17 Pro chip.
