iPad Pro could feature a camera on the top as well as the side bezel.
Landscape or portrait? Both will soon be fine.
If you were waiting for deals to come along on Apple's best tablet, now's the time.

Overview

  • According to Bloomberg’s reporting, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge to complement the landscape-facing sensor and improve Face ID reliability and vertical video calls.
  • The new M5 chip, built on TSMC’s third-generation 3nm N3P process, is expected to deliver faster performance and enhanced power efficiency compared with the current M4 model.
  • Beyond the camera and chipset updates, the 2025 iPad Pro is believed to retain the same OLED display, ultra-thin chassis and overall design introduced last year.
  • Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo forecasts that mass production will begin in the second half of 2025, paving the way for a likely September or October launch.
  • The dual-camera addition reflects Apple’s effort to address user feedback on orientation-based usability without altering the tablet’s established form factor.
