Apple M5 MacBook Pro Leak: Is the 'Pro' Chip Gone? ๐Ÿšจ

About this video

The MacBook Pro lineup is usually predictable... but the latest iOS 26.3 code leaks have just exposed something massive. If you are thinking about buying an M4 Pro today, you are making a huge mistake. According to new backend code found in the Release Candidate, the "M5 Pro" chip might not even existโ€”at least not in the way we think. Weโ€™re digging into the code:
๐Ÿšซ ** The Missing Chip** - Why is there no code identifier for the M5 Pro?
๐Ÿคฏ ** The "Single Die" Theory** - Is Apple killing the dedicated Pro chip to save money?
๐Ÿš€ ** M5 Ultra Early Launch** - Evidence suggests the Mac Studio might arrive months early.
๐Ÿ“‰ ** Inventory Warning** - Stock is drying up NOW. A launch is imminent (Feb/March).
๐Ÿ’ธ ** Price & Strategy** - Why the "binned" Max chip could actually be good news for thermals.

Soโ€ฆ is Apple simplifying the lineup, or just cutting costs at our expense? And where is the actual hardware?

๐Ÿ’ฌ QUESTION FOR YOU: If the M5 Pro is just a "failed" M5 Max with cores turned off, does that bother you? Or do you just care about the performance? Let me know in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡
