Overview

• Unboxing videos from Russian YouTube channels Wylsacom and Romancev768 show an M5 iPad Pro with at least 12GB of RAM, including a 256GB unit, and no major external redesign beyond dropping the rear "iPad Pro" inscription.
• Geekbench screenshots in the leaks indicate roughly 12% faster multi-core CPU performance and about 35–36% higher GPU scores versus the M4 models from 2024.
• The rumored second front camera remains disputed, with Bloomberg reporting internal prototypes included it, earlier leaked units showing only an ambient light sensor, and a newer clip claimed to depict two lenses without functional confirmation.
• Apple’s online store now lists up to three-week deliveries for some M4 iPad Pro builds and constraints on custom base 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro orders, and recent FCC filings for multiple new iPad models point to an imminent refresh.
• Reporting from Bloomberg and analysts indicates Apple may stagger the M5 rollout, starting with iPad Pro and potentially the entry-level MacBook Pro this month, with higher-end MacBook Pro chips to follow later.
