Overview

  • Russian YouTuber Wylsacom posted what appears to be a retail 13-inch, 256GB iPad Pro running iPadOS 26 that reports 12GB of RAM.
  • Geekbench results shown in the video indicate roughly 10% single-core and 15% multi-core CPU gains over M4, with a 34–38% uplift in Metal GPU performance and L2 cache expanding from 4MB to 6MB.
  • The tablet’s exterior closely matches the M4 model, retaining the design, screen sizes, and accessory compatibility, signaling a chip-focused refresh.
  • Outlets note the leaker previously revealed an M4 MacBook Pro early, lending credibility even as Apple has not announced this device.
  • Coverage continues to expect an official iPad Pro announcement in October, while separate code-based reports point to an A19 Pro-powered iPad mini on deck for next year.
