In Bloomberg 's Power On newsletter, analyst Mark Gurman said Apple could launch three new devices this week. The products are expected to be announced via press release rather than a grand event like the iPhone 17 in September.
“With the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and AirPods Pro 3 already announced, Apple will focus on the rest of its fall products this week,” Gurman shared.
Based on rumors, the devices that are about to appear in the next few days include iPad Pro M5, MacBook Pro M5 and Vision Pro M5. Of which, iPad Pro and Vision Pro are in mass production, just waiting for the official launch. Here is the latest information about upcoming products from Apple.
iPad Pro M5
The iPad Pro M5 is on the list of expected devices to be launched by Apple this week. If the information is correct, this will be the first device to use the M5 chip. Apple has applied a similar strategy, equipping the iPad Pro with the M4 chip before bringing it to Mac computers.
In the video shared by Wylsacom (Russia) on September 30, the basic capacity options on iPad Pro M5 will have RAM increased from 8 to 12 GB, while the remaining versions will remain at 16 GB.
The overall design of the iPad Pro M5 is expected to remain unchanged from its predecessor. The small distinguishing detail comes from the back when the word “iPad Pro” is removed, leaving only the Apple logo in the middle.
Previously, Gurman said that the iPad Pro M5 will have an additional selfie camera on the top bezel (when holding the device vertically), in addition to the current horizontal camera.

In the past, iPad models always had a selfie camera on the top edge of the screen. Since the iPad Pro M4, Apple has moved the camera position to the right edge (from vertical to horizontal), creating a natural position for users who often hold online meetings.
Coming to the iPad Pro M5, rumors predict that Apple will integrate a second selfie camera in the same position. This could help users make FaceTime calls and take better photos in both directions, especially if they like to hold the device in portrait position.
In the video, the benchmark measured by Geekbench 6 shows that the M5 chip is still equipped with 9 CPU cores, including 3 high-performance cores and 6 energy-saving cores. The M5's multi-core score is 12% higher, while the GPU score is 36% higher than the M4.
In addition to the processor chip, software is also a factor worth waiting for on the iPad Pro M5 when iPadOS 26 switches to the Liquid Glass interface, adding a menu bar and a window multitasking system similar to macOS.
Vision Pro M5
In mid-July, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple was developing a new version of Vision Pro. The device is likely to use the M5 processor instead of the M2, with other parameters unchanged.
The Vision Pro upgrade has been rumored for a long time. Previously, it was said that the glasses would be equipped with an M4 chip, but the latest rumors predict that the device will use the M5.
In addition to the M5 chip, MacRumors predicts that the product will be equipped with an R2 chip, which will help improve the ability to process input signals. Some rumors say that the R2 is manufactured on TSMC's latest 2nm process, but the first chips using this process will not be released until next year.

According to Gurman, the product will come with a new Dual Knit Band for more comfortable wearing, and also add a Space Black color option.
According to leaked documents from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the device still uses the Wi-Fi 6 standard instead of Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7.
It’s unclear whether these changes are enough for Apple to consider calling this the Vision Pro 2. Previously, rumors said the company had paused development of the Vision Pro and Vision Air (a thin and light version) to focus on building smart glasses similar to Meta.
MacBook Pro M5
According to Gurman, Apple may also introduce the MacBook Pro M5 this week. Previously, the Bloomberg writer predicted that the product would appear early next year because the M5 Pro and M5 Max versions could not be mass produced.
“However, the standard M5 version seems to be complete because this chip is also present in the new iPad. That means the MacBook Pro M5 (14-inch screen) is also ready to launch, with the biggest change coming from the processor chip,” said Gurman.

Gurman further cites the fact that the current MacBook Pro M4 version is in short supply, while the M4 Pro and M4 Max models are still in regular supply. Shortages are often a sign that a newer version is coming soon.
The MacBook Pro M5 may be the last generation to retain the current design. Starting with the M6 series, the company is expected to switch to a new design, using an OLED screen similar to the iPhone and iPad Pro.
Gurman's post also revealed some upcoming Apple products like AirTag, HomePod mini and Apple TV. Other devices include iPad Air, standard iPad, 2 screens, MacBook Air M5 and iPhone 17e. These products are expected to launch early next year.
