Leaked Videos Point to M5 iPad Pro With Higher Base RAM as Second Front Camera Looks Unlikely

Bloomberg reports internal prototypes included a second lens, raising the prospect of a late cut before an expected October reveal.

Overview

  • Unboxing footage from Russian YouTube channels Wylsacom and Romancev768 shows an iPad Pro labeled with Apple’s M5 chip and a minimum of 12GB of RAM.
  • Geekbench 6 screenshots in the leaks indicate roughly 12% higher multi‑core CPU performance and about 36% faster graphics versus the M4 models from 2024.
  • The videos show no second front camera, contradicting a report that internal M5 test units at Apple carried a dual‑lens setup.
  • Design changes appear minimal, with the back reportedly dropping the “iPad Pro” inscription after last year’s OLED and thin‑chassis overhaul.
  • The leakers have a track record of accurate Apple hardware reveals, and multiple reports suggest Apple is likely to announce the new models later this month.
