As before, the 11-inch iPad Pro costs $999 and the 13-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,299. They’re compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil USB-C, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Folio.

The New MacBook Pro
Interestingly, Apple did not completely revamp its MacBook Pro lineup with the M5 chip. Instead, there’s just one new model: a 14-inch MacBook Pro with four storage options (512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, or 4 TB) and three unified memory options (16, 24, or 32 GB). The base version starts at $1,599, like before, but if you max out all of the upgrades, it can cost as much as $3,369. We’ll likely see M5 Pro and M5 Max chip options in 2026 alongside a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
You’ll see similar speed increases like on the iPad Pro M5—3.5x faster AI performance, 1.6x faster graphics over the prior M4-powered MacBook Pro, and 2x faster SSD performance. Otherwise, this is the same 14-inch MacBook as before, with the claimed “24-hour” battery life, mini-LED display with the nano-texture glass option, a six-speaker system, and a 12-MP webcam. There are three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI, an SDXC slot, a headphone jack, and the MagSafe charging port.

The New Vision Pro
Widely regarded as a miss with consumers, Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset is back but with no major changes to the hardware. Well, there’s a new headstrap: the Dual Knit Band. It’s included in the box and Apple says it’s soft and cushioned, allowing for a comfier fit. The headset is now powered by the M5 chip, which enables faster performance, sharper details throughout visionOS 26, and better battery life. Specifically, Apple says the M5 renders 10 percent more pixels on the micro-OLED displays than before, and the refresh rate can also jump up to 120 Hz.
Battery life is now two and a half hours of general use, as opposed to just two hours on the original Vision Pro. That extends to three hours with video playback.
Unfortunately, the price remains firm at $3,499. It’s arriving right before Samsung is expected to unveil its Android XR mixed reality headset, Project Moohan, which will hopefully come with a lower price tag.
