The new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models are expected to be launched soon, according to information shared by. MacRumors<\/em> through an Apple Premium reseller.<\/p>\n Apple’s third-party retailer said MacBook Pro stock is very low right now because a new product introduction is imminent. Apple usually coordinates the supply of stores and stores before the launch of a new model to avoid leaving retailers with many outdated devices.<\/p>\n At the weekend, Bloomberg<\/em> he said the new MacBook Pros will launch alongside macOS Tahoe 26.3 sometime in February\/March, and we’re getting closer to the software release date. Today’s launch of Xcode 26.3 release candidate also suggests that the debut is not far off.<\/p>\n It’s rare for Apple to launch an Xcode release without providing release candidates for iOS and macOS, and we haven’t seen iOS 26.3 or macOS 26.3 RCs yet. Holding back a macOS release is sometimes an indication that the RC contains information that Apple doesn’t want to leak. If the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models will be released alongside macOS Tahoe 26.3, it is possible that macOS Tahoe 26.3 RC includes new model identifiers that could give away the upcoming launch.<\/p>\n Apple often holds back macOS releases for a few days to a week. Before the new M3 Macs came out in October 2023, for example, Apple offered iOS 17.1 and the Xcode release candidate on October 17, but held back the macOS 14.1 release candidate. The new Macs were launched on October 23, and then macOS 14.1 RC came out on October 24. Apple followed the same pattern before the first M1 Macs in November 2020, and the M2 Mac mini in October 2022. All the time, Apple held the macOS RC while launching iOS and Xcode RCs.<\/p>\n The exception in this case is that we haven’t seen iOS 26.3 RC, so the catch-up time is not that clear. Apple may release new MacBook Pro models soon, and release both RCs. There is also the possibility that we have to wait a week or two before the new MacBook Pro models come out, especially if the RCs are not ready to go and another beta update is planned.<\/p>\n It’s not entirely clear why Apple released Xcode 26.3 RC now instead of holding it back, but it includes agent coding tools that Apple has worked with Anthropic and OpenAI to implement, so it’s possible that Apple has committed to a specific operating system.<\/p>\n All signs suggest that we will get the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models soon. Apple has already released the standard M5 \u200cMacBook Pro 14-inch, but the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch models have not been updated.<\/p>\n The salesman you spoke to MacRumors<\/em> it also said that HomePod mini accessories are stopping with most models already sold, but there’s no official word on whether that’s due to supply chain issues or an upcoming update. HomePod mini stock has been dwindling since October 2025, so the continued dwindling doesn’t give us any new information about the HomePod mini 2, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models are expected to be launched soon, according to information shared by.
