FCC hints at new MacBook Pro models powered by Apple M5

Recent FCC filings have surfaced model numbers that align with unreleased MacBook Pro units, strongly suggesting Apple is working on new MacBook Pros using the next-generation M5 family (M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max). The filings themselves do not provide technical specs, but the timing and model IDs match previous patterns where regulatory listings appear shortly before an official announcement.

Key points

• FCC documents list new Apple model numbers (e.g., an A3434-type ID reported by outlets) that don’t match current MacBook models.
• Multiple reports indicate M5 chip variants (M5 / M5 Pro / M5 Max) are in development and that mass production may be nearing.
• Launch window is widely reported as late 2025 to early 2026.
• Rumors include features such as possible 5G cellular options for Mac, but that remains unconfirmed by the filings.
