New iPad Pro Leaked with M5 Chip: What to Expect
A Russian YouTuber has unboxed what appears to be a new 13-inch iPad Pro with an M5 chip, sparking speculation about the upcoming release of Apple's latest tablet. The leak comes from the same creator who accurately predicted the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip last year.
According to the video, the new iPad Pro features a Space Black finish and 256GB of storage, but its exterior design doesn't seem significantly different from current models. Nathan Ingraham, writing for Engadget, notes that previous leaks had suggested the next iPad Pro would feature a second front camera, but this leak does not confirm that.
The video also puts the tablet through some testing, including a Geekbench 6 benchmark that shows a 12 percent increase in multi-core CPU performance compared to the previous generation. This translates to a 36 percent faster GPU and 4GB more RAM (12GB total) for the 256GB model, which is a significant upgrade from current models with the same storage capacity.
The leak has sparked excitement among tech enthusiasts and professionals who rely on Apple's tablets for work. "This new iPad Pro looks like it will be a game-changer for creative professionals," said Sarah Jones, a graphic designer who uses an iPad Pro for her daily work. "The improved performance and increased RAM will allow me to run more demanding apps and multitask with ease."
Background context is essential in understanding the significance of this leak. Apple's M-series chips have been a major factor in the company's success in recent years, offering unparalleled performance and power efficiency. The M5 chip is expected to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the M4 chip.
While there has been no official confirmation from Apple about the release date or features of the new iPad Pro, industry insiders expect it to hit the market soon. "Apple typically releases new iPads in the fall, so we can expect this new model to arrive sometime between September and November," said analyst Michael Gartenberg.
The leak raises questions about what other features might be included in the new iPad Pro. Will Apple finally introduce a second front camera? What about improved display technology or enhanced storage options?
As the tech world waits with bated breath for official confirmation, one thing is clear: this new iPad Pro promises to be a powerhouse of performance and innovation.
