Landscape or portrait? Both will soon be fine.

Overview

  • It reportedly adds a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge to ensure reliable Face ID and improve video calls when held vertically.
  • The update will preserve last year’s M4 iPad Pro design and OLED display with no major external changes.
  • The upcoming model is expected to debut Apple’s next-generation M5 chip, promising noticeable performance and efficiency improvements over its predecessor.
  • Supply chain reports suggest M5 iPad Pro units will enter mass production in the second half of 2025 ahead of a late-year release.
  • The dual-camera layout addresses user feedback about blocked sensors and awkward selfie angles in portrait orientation.
