Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch its most powerful iPad yet, alongside new versions of the Vision Pro and MacBook Pro, all powered by the company’s next-generation M5 chip. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will make these announcements quietly this week through press releases and online videos, rather than holding a traditional launch event.
M5 Chip Takes Center Stage
The new M5 chip marks Apple’s latest leap in silicon innovation, delivering up to 12% faster multi-core CPU performance and an impressive 36% GPU boost compared to the M4. Built for power efficiency and improved thermal management, the M5 will drive Apple’s next wave of productivity-focused devices.
Gurman noted that the updates will include:
- iPad Pro (M5) – Featuring 12GB RAM (up from 8GB), faster processing, and the same sleek design but without the “iPad Pro” branding on the back.
- Vision Pro (M5) – A refreshed version of Apple’s mixed-reality headset aimed at improved performance and extended battery life.
- 14-inch MacBook Pro (M5) – A likely spec refresh to complete Apple’s transition to the new M5 series.
No Grand Launch Event
Apple will skip its usual on-stage event this time, opting instead for a digital rollout via its Newsroom and YouTube channels. This approach continues Apple’s recent trend of unveiling iterative upgrades quietly, aligning with its strategy to push availability before the festive shopping season.
Early Leaks and First Look
Unboxing videos from Russia have already revealed early units of the M5 iPad Pro, confirming the new specifications and showing minor design changes. The expected dual front-camera feature, rumored earlier, appears to be missing — indicating that Apple may be reserving that upgrade for future models.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming M5 lineup could be Apple’s final hardware release of 2025, paving the way for a major AI-focused update in 2026. Apple is reportedly working on integrating on-device AI features into the next iterations of macOS and iPadOS, signaling a major software shift next year.
With the M5 rollout, Apple continues to refine performance and efficiency across its ecosystem — reaffirming its leadership in custom silicon as the company enters another phase of hardware evolution.
