New iPad Pro with M5 Chip Leaked: What to Expect
A Russian YouTuber has unboxed what appears to be a new 13-inch iPad Pro with an M5 chip, sparking speculation that Apple may release the device soon. The leak comes from a creator who accurately predicted the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip last year.
The unboxing video shows a tablet with an M5 chip and 256GB of storage in a Space Black finish. While the exterior design doesn't seem to have changed significantly, it's unclear whether this model will feature a second front camera as previously rumored. The tablet still has a single rear camera, four speakers, and a Smart Connector.
According to Geekbench 6 benchmark results shown in the video, the new iPad Pro boasts a 12 percent increase in multi-core CPU performance compared to its predecessor. This translates to a 36 percent faster GPU, making it a significant upgrade for users who rely on graphics-intensive tasks. The 256GB model is also expected to come with 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB in current models.
The leak suggests that Apple may be preparing to release the new iPad Pro soon, potentially as early as this quarter. If true, it would mark a significant upgrade for the tablet line and provide users with improved performance and capabilities.
Industry experts say the M5 chip will bring substantial benefits to creative professionals who rely on the iPad Pro for tasks like video editing and 3D modeling. "The increased CPU and GPU performance will make the iPad Pro an even more compelling choice for those who need a powerful mobile device," said Daniel Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush Securities.
Apple has not officially confirmed the existence of the new iPad Pro or its release date. However, if the leak is accurate, it would be one of the most significant updates to the tablet line in recent years.
The next development will likely come from Apple's official announcement, which could happen as early as this quarter. Until then, users and industry experts alike will continue to speculate about the features and capabilities of the new iPad Pro with an M5 chip.
