Unboxing Video and FCC Filings Point to Imminent M5 iPad Pro, With Hints of M5 MacBook Pro and Vision Pro Refresh

Benchmarks point to a GPU‑focused performance bump, with Apple yet to confirm specifications or launch timing.

Overview

  • Russian YouTube channel Wylsacom posted what appears to be a 13-inch, 256GB Space Black iPad Pro identifying an M5 chip and iPadOS 26, and the channel previously leaked the M4 MacBook Pro accurately.
  • Geekbench results cited across reports show roughly 10–15% higher CPU scores and about 34–36% faster GPU performance versus M4, with the leaked 256GB model listing 12GB of RAM and a 9‑core CPU (3 performance, 6 efficiency).
  • The tablet’s exterior closely matches the M4 design, with no clear confirmation of the rumored second front camera and a back panel that drops prior iPad Pro branding.
  • Newly published FCC documents list multiple unreleased model numbers tied to iPad Pro variants (A3357–A3362), a MacBook Pro identifier (A3434), and a head‑mounted device consistent with a Vision Pro update.
  • Outlets say the filings and video strengthen expectations for announcements as early as October, though Apple has not formally disclosed dates or detailed specifications.
