We know that Apple is working on new versions of its MacBook Pro laptop computer. The company launched a new 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip in October, but never followed through with a more powerful, 16-inch version.

Now, however, the company might have dropped a clue as to when the new 16-incher will arrive, and it lies in the company's recently launched Creator Suite.

The Creator Suite is a subscription package that bundles a bunch of video and audio tools aimed at professionals, including Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. It's launching on January 28, and therein lies the clue.

According to Macworld, this could very well also be the date the company plans to launch new MacBook Pro devices. Why? Well, because Apple does often launch pro-grade software tools in connection to pro-grade hardware devices.

Furthermore, January 28 is a Wednesday, and that is typically the day in the week (besides Tuesday) when Apple launches new hardware.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and we will know whether it's true when Apple says so.

As for what kind of hardware we can expect from Apple on the date, we'll probably get the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops, powered by the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. These probably won't bring any massive architectural changes; they'll simply be faster and more powerful than the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the regular M5 chip.
