FCC Filing Reveals New MacBook Pro Details
▼ Summary
– The FCC has leaked details about upcoming Apple products through documents referencing unreleased model numbers.
– Model number A3434 corresponds to an unreleased MacBook Pro, likely an M5 model currently in development.
– Several model numbers (A3357-A3362) are identified as upcoming M5 iPad Pro models in different sizes and connectivity options.
– The FCC filings suggest these products are nearing launch, as such documents are typically submitted weeks before product debuts.
– Additional leaks include an unboxing video of the M5 iPad Pro and FCC schematics for the iPhone 16e and updated Apple Vision Pro.
A recent filing with the United States Federal Communications Commission has shed light on Apple’s upcoming hardware plans, revealing several unreleased products including a new MacBook Pro model. These regulatory documents, which precede product launches, list model numbers that do not match any current devices available on the market.
For instance, the model number A3434 is linked to an unannounced MacBook Pro, which industry observers believe is one of the forthcoming M5-powered versions. Other identifiers point to new iPad Pro models also expected to feature the next-generation M5 chip. While the FCC filings do not explicitly name the products, the model numbers can be cross-referenced with Apple’s existing lineup for identification.
The list includes A3357 for an 11-inch Wi-Fi iPad Pro, along with A3358 and A3359 for the cellular variants of the same size. For the larger model, A3360 corresponds to a 13-inch Wi-Fi iPad Pro, while A3361 and A3362 are designated for the 13-inch cellular versions. Although the documents provide limited technical details, they serve as a reliable confirmation that Apple is actively developing these new devices.
Such regulatory approvals typically occur just weeks before a product’s official release, offering a potential clue to the launch timeline. Interestingly, the documentation suggests that the new M5 iPad Pro models will include support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, a feature notably absent from the listed M5 MacBook Pro model.
This regulatory leak coincides with other recent developments, including an unboxing video of the M5 iPad Pro that surfaced on YouTube. Persistent rumors indicate that these new iPad Pro models could make their debut before the year concludes.
Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly finalizing development on its M5-series chips for the MacBook Pro line. Mass production is poised to commence in the near future, with refreshed models featuring M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips expected to hit the market between late 2025 and early 2026.
In a related disclosure from earlier this week, the FCC also published an extensive 163-page document containing detailed schematics of the iPhone 16e, information that Apple likely intended to keep confidential.
In a subsequent update, FCC documents have also indicated the existence of a revised version of the Apple Vision Pro.
