Apple may announce new products through a series of weekly press releases starting as early as Monday, according to a dubious claim published on Korean blog Naver.

The account on Naver, yeux1122, which aggregates and does not create rumors about Apple, claims that the company will unveil products with the M5 chip every week via updates on its website, instead of holding an event in October.
The leak mentions a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip, iPad Pro M5 , and M5 Vision Pro as upcoming releases. The post also mentions Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini 2 , and AirTags 2.Announcements are said to begin next Monday or Tuesday.
The source – and therefore the credibility – of the claims remains unclear, and the account's history is mixed.

However, it is expected that Apple will refresh several products as early as this month. We have already seen an unreleased iPad Pro with an M5 chip apparently leaking through a Russian channel on YouTube. Meanwhile, an updated version of Apple's Vision Pro has been accidentally confirmed by FCC documents. The new Vision Pro is expected to have a faster processor and a more comfortable head strap.
The MacBook Pro models with M5 chip are said to also enter mass production, although their release time remains uncertain. New Macs are often unveiled in October, but there is precedent for a release next year – Apple announced MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in a press release in January 2023.
In other Apple products, Apple TV is rumored to receive an A17 Pro chip with support for the updated version of Siri that will be released next year, which will be powered by Apple Intelligence, and the HomePod mini could get an S9 chip or newer. A second‑generation AirTag with increased range is also believed to be close to launch.

While the rumor remains unconfirmed, the prospect of immediate announcements from Apple now seems more realistic with each passing day. Without stronger evidence, we will simply have to wait and see.
