00:00MacBook upgrades get incremental as Apple preps next-gen displays.
00:05According to Bloomberg, Apple's M5 MacBook Pro and Air are now expected in late 2025
00:11or early 2026, marking a shift away from the usual annual M series cycle.
00:16This delay suggests more than supply chain issues.
00:19Apple appears to be responding to a slowing silicon race.
00:23The M5, built on TSMC's N3P process, promises a modest 15% to 25% performance boost over
00:30the M4.
00:32For M4 users, the upgrade may not be worth the wait, while Intel and M1 users will need to
00:37weigh their options more carefully.
00:40The M5 MacBook lineup will retain the current design, with major visual changes reserved
00:44for the M6 generation and its OLED displays.
00:48Instead, Apple is focusing on internal upgrades like standardizing Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 5.
00:55It's a refinement phase, similar to an iPhone S year, with improvements in battery efficiency,
01:00AI processing for Apple intelligence, and better thermal management, offering meaningful but
01:05incremental enhancements.
01:08Apple is ramping up its display lineup with two new monitors, codenamed J427 and J527,
01:14now entering production.
01:16The J427 is expected to replace the current studio display, featuring mini-LED backlighting,
01:22higher resolutions, and up to 32-inch panels.
01:25The J527 remains unclear, but may be a high-end display rivaling the Pro Display XDR, likely
01:32with ProMotion and Thunderbolt 5 support.
01:35These upgrades aim to meet creators' demands for premium external displays.
01:40This move reflects Apple's broader strategy, slower hardware refreshes, tighter software integration,
01:46and calculated product timing.
