- The M5 iPad Pro in 11‑ and 13‑inch sizes gains the N1 chip for Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread, the C1X modem on cellular versions, faster charging to about 50% in around 30 minutes, and 12GB RAM on 256GB and 512GB configurations.
- The updated Vision Pro moves to M5 with a new Dual Knit Band, renders roughly 10% more pixels, supports refresh rates up to 120Hz, and extends battery life to about 2.5 hours of general use or 3 hours of video.
