Overview
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is working to integrate a vapor chamber cooling system into the next iPad Pro.
- The goal is to curb thermal throttling during demanding workflows and gaming by improving heat dissipation in a slim design.
- On the iPad Pro’s roughly 18‑month update cadence, the upgrade could arrive around spring 2027 with the M6 refresh, not the newly released M5 models.
- Gurman says the next model is expected to feature an M6 chip likely fabricated on TSMC’s 2‑nanometer process.
- The approach builds on the iPhone 17 Pro’s vapor chamber, which reporting says cut overheating, and could extend to other passively cooled Macs if successful.
