Overview

• Russian YouTuber Wylsacom posted an unboxing of a 13-inch iPad Pro labeled with an M5 chip, showing iPadOS 26 and a battery dated August 2025, a leak outlets deem credible yet unofficial.
• Geekbench results shown in the video point to roughly 10–15% faster CPU performance than M4 and about 33–38% higher GPU scores, with a 9‑core CPU and an enlarged 6MB L2 cache.
• The 256GB unit in the video reports 12GB of RAM, suggesting a higher base memory tier than the 8GB seen on comparable M4 iPad Pro configurations.
• External design appears unchanged and existing accessories like the Magic Keyboard and folio cases fit; the back lacks customary ‘iPad Pro’ text and the box looks thinner, with charger inclusion unclear.
• New FCC filings listing model numbers tied to updated iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models reinforce expectations of a near-term launch, though Apple has not announced details or timing.
