A report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicates that several Apple products are approaching mass production. The new devices include M5-powered MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, along with a refresh for the Studio Display. These products are anticipated to launch between the end of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
In the latest Power On newsletter, Gurman specified that Apple is nearing mass production for its next MacBook Pro models, codenamed J714 and J716, and the MacBook Air, codenamed J813 and J815. Additionally, two new 27-inch Mac monitors, codenamed J427 and J527, are also in the same stage of development.
Gurman stated, “Beyond the fairly imminent debut of new iPad Pro and Vision Pro models, Apple is nearing mass production of its next MacBook Pros (code‑named J714 and J716), MacBook Airs (J813 and J815) and two new Mac monitors (J427 and J527). These devices are still slated for release between the end of this year and the first quarter of next year, but it’s exciting to know these are nearing a key stage.”
Other products are also expected to launch by the end of the year. These include an M5-powered Vision Pro and an M5-powered iPad Pro. Refreshes for the Apple TV and HomePod mini are also reportedly planned for the same timeframe.
While the production status does not confirm a launch by the end of this year, the report suggests a slight possibility for some of these products to be released earlier than an initial predicted timeframe of Q1 2026. However, an October or November launch is considered unlikely.
Looking further ahead, Apple is reportedly planning several other devices. These include a new iPhone 17e model, a new budget iPad, and a new iPad Air, which is expected to be powered by an M4 chip. Gurman reports these products are scheduled to launch during the first half of the next year, with a spring release being probable.
