Who knows when they will arrive?

The announcement of Apple Creator Studio has already got people excited to see what will happen with Apple's creative lineup soon. Its announcement has come with a bit of a shock to the Apple community, as a subscription model is still not something that everyone is a fan of. However, it is clear that this bundle for now is a very good value, at only $2.99 for students for apps that would have previously cost hundreds of dollars.

So, along with that software, where is the new hardware? We already have the start to the next generation of chips with the M5 MacBook Pro, so where is the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro? Well, it could be sooner than we thought originally. Macworld's Roman Loyola suggests a January 28th date. Why? Because that is the release date of Apple Creator Studio.

Apple Creator Studio is set to launch on January 28th, which lines up with previous rumors and Apple release patterns. Apple often releases products towards the beginning of the week (Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and January 28th is a Wednesday. It also lines up with the fact that all Apple Silicon M Pro MacBook Pros have either been released in October or January, so since the M5 chip has already been announced in October, the M5 Pro must come out in January.

So, January 28th is a very likely date for the release, unless it is a week early to prepare for the launch so they can both launch on the same day. Either way, it is very likely that a new MacBook Pro will come in the next 2 weeks or so.

The M5 Pro MacBook Pro will be a great MacBook Pro and will build off of the already large performance gains of the M5 MacBook Pro released in October. We will have to wait and see what Apple does soon.
