An Apple Premium Reseller reports dwindling MacBook Pro stocks, as the release of new M5 Pro and M5 Max models of Apple’s popular laptop looms on the horizon, reports MacRumors.
The third-party Apple reseller reports that MacBook stock is low due to imminent new product unveilings. Apple typically controls product availability ahead of a new model launch to avoid leaving resellers with too many outdated machines.
Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that new MacBook Pro models will debut alongside the release of macOS Tahoe 26.3, which is expected to be released sometime this month or next. Apple has yet to seed a macOS Tahoe 26.3 Release Candidate. It’s possible the RC contains code that identifies upcoming new MacBook Pro models that it doesn’t want to be revealed as yet.
Apple could debut new MacBook Pro models as soon as tomorrow, then release the RC. We could have to wait a week or two before the actual release of new MacBook Pro models, especially if the RCs aren’t quite ready to go.
Apple already released the standard 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro, but higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch models have yet to be revamped.
The reseller also told the publication that HomePod mini supplies continue to dwindle, with many models completely sold out. However, it isn’t clear if that’s due to an upcoming update or if Apple is experiencing supply chain issues with the smart speaker.
