Apple's M5 iPad Pro Reportedly Delayed Until Late 2025
The next iPad Pro is expected to feature Apple's M5 chip but will likely see no major design changes from the current model.
- Apple's M5 iPad Pro is rumored to enter mass production in the second half of 2025, with a potential launch in late 2025.
- The device will reportedly be the first to debut the M5 chip, offering modest performance and efficiency improvements over the M4 chip.
- The M5 chip is expected to utilize TSMC's advanced 3nm process with System on Integrated Chip (SoIC) technology but will not adopt the newer 2nm process due to cost considerations.
- Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests the M5 iPad Pro will not feature significant design changes, as the current model already introduced a slimmer profile and OLED displays earlier this year.
- The M5 chip is anticipated to later appear in other Apple products, including the 2025 MacBook Pro and potentially the next-generation Vision Pro.
