Should I buy the MacBook M5 Pro now or wait for the next generation

I am learning AI/ML, doing some development work, and will probably get deeper into heavier workloads in the future. I checked the differences between the M4 Pro and M5 Pro, and honestly the jump doesn’t seem massive to me. I can still afford the M5 Pro, but I’m confused whether it’s worth buying right now.

What’s making me hesitate is all the talk about the M6 generation potentially bringing a much bigger upgrade OLED display, redesigned chassis, better efficiency, and overall a more significant leap from Apple compared to the current generation.

My concern is simple

If M5 Pro is already more than enough for AI/ML and long-term usage, I’ll buy it now.But if M6 is expected to be a major generational jump, maybe waiting would make more sense.

Had a terrible experience with Aptronix.

Ordered a MacBook Pro M4 for ₹2L+ using ICICI Bank credit card because they showed it “in stock.” Next day, they called saying it’s not available.

After that, it was weeks of follow-ups with no proper updates, constant “wait 2 more days” excuses, and at one point they even said they don’t have funds to process the refund.

Had to raise a dispute with ICICI, and after 1 month, finally got my money back.

Don’t trust Aptronix online listings. Stick to reliable sellers like Vijay Sales or buy offline.

most funny part is on their web my order is still processing
