Apple’s M5 MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro are on sale today
Apple’s latest hardware lineup—MacBook Pro (M5), iPad Pro (M5) and an updated Vision Pro—is available starting today at Apple and authorized retailers. Notably, it’s a Wednesday retail launch, as Apple continues to experiment beyond its usual Friday on‑sale dates.

- MacBook Pro (M5): Next‑gen Apple Silicon aimed at pro apps and graphics‑heavy workflows.
- iPad Pro (M5): Paired with iPadOS enhancements (new windowing, background tasks) and faster on‑device AI.
- Vision Pro (M5 refresh): Latest silicon for spatial computing, media and productivity use cases.
M5 highlights
- CPU/GPU gains for improved performance in creative and developer workflows.
- Enhanced Neural Engine and GPU‑side neural accelerators to speed on‑device AI tasks (image/video processing, segmentation, speech).
- Efficiency focus: Higher performance at similar or lower power, depending on workload and device.
Where to buy

Quick upgrade tips
- Match device to workload: If you’re a creator/dev, the M5 GPU/Neural Engine may offer the biggest uplift; casual users might find strong value in discounted prior‑gen models.
- Plan storage/RAM now: Most Apple devices aren’t user‑upgradeable—choose enough headroom for 3–5 years.
- Ecosystem fit: Consider accessories (Magic Keyboard/Pencil for iPad, external displays for Mac) and app readiness for M5 optimizations.
