Apple Nears Production of M5 iPad Pro, Launch Expected Late 2025

The M5 iPad Pro, in late testing stages, will feature modest internal upgrades following last year’s major redesign.

Apple is in the late testing phase for the M5 iPad Pro, which is expected to enter production in the second half of 2025.
The device will feature the new M5 chip, fabricated using TSMC's N3P 3nm process, offering modest improvements in performance and efficiency.
No significant design changes are planned for the M5 iPad Pro, as the 2024 redesign with OLED displays and a thinner form factor remains current.
The M5 iPad Pro is expected to launch in late Q3 or early Q4 of 2025, aligning with Apple's typical 18-month product refresh cycle.
Apple is also preparing an M5-powered MacBook Pro refresh for later this year and is developing an M6 iPad Pro with in-house modems for a 2027 release.
