"But the wait for M5 Pro and M5 Max models may be nearing its end. The tea-leaf readers at MacRumors noticed that shipping times for a handful of high-end MacBook Pro configurations have slipped into mid-to-late February, rather than being available immediately as most Mac models are. This is often, though not always, a sign that Apple has slowed down or stopped production of an existing product in anticipation of an update."
"Aimed primarily at independent content creators that make their own video, audio, and images, the Creator Studio subscription bundles Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, and enhancements for the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps (along with some other odds and ends) for $13 a month or $130 a year. None of these apps require a MacBook Pro, but many would benefit in some way from the additional CPU and GPU power, RAM, and storage available in Apple's high-end laptops."
"Currently, the shipping delays affect the M4 Max versions of both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. If you order them today, these models will arrive sometime between February 3 and February 24, depending on the configuration you choose; many M4 Pro versions are still available for same-day shipping, though adding a nano-texture display or upgrading RAM can still add a week or so to the shipping time."
Shipping estimates for several high-end MacBook Pro configurations have slipped into mid-to-late February. The delays currently affect M4 Max 14-inch and 16-inch models, while many M4 Pro versions remain available for same-day shipping. Upgrading options such as nano-texture displays or additional RAM can extend shipping times. Shipping slips can indicate slowed or halted production ahead of a product refresh, raising expectations for forthcoming M5 Pro and M5 Max releases. Apple could time new Pro hardware to coincide with the January 28 Creator Studio subscription launch. AI-driven RAM shortages and chip production prioritization may also affect availability.
