A new Apple iPad Pro may arrive this week: What to expect
Apple’s M5 iPad Pro could go official this week through a quiet online release. Leaks point to a powerful new M5 chip, design tweaks, and a few subtle upgrades rather than a full redesign. With benchmark scores already surfacing, the new iPad Pro promises more muscle for creative pros and everyday users alike.

Launch Timing
Apple is tipped to launch the M5 iPad Pro this week via online press updates instead of a keynote. Reports from Bloomberg and AppleInsider suggest the new model will debut alongside refreshed Vision Pro and MacBook Pro models, hinting at Apple’s first major hardware drop since the M4 iPads in May.

Performance & Chip
The M5 chip headlines the upgrade, delivering around 12% faster CPU and up to 36% higher GPU performance than the M4. Benchmarks reveal single-core scores surpassing many desktop chips. The iPad Pro may also feature up to 12GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 support, promising serious performance for video editors, designers, and multitaskers.

Design Updates
Apple seems to be keeping the familiar form factor but tweaking details — such as dropping the “iPad Pro” text from the back. Some leaks hint at dual front cameras for better FaceTime framing, though the OLED display and body design are expected to stay largely unchanged from the previous M4 lineup.

Pricing & Availability
Prices are expected to remain close to the M4 range, though upgraded specs may push the higher-end models. If Apple announces it this week, India’s release may trail the U.S. rollout by a few weeks. Watch for potential discounts on current M4 iPads once Apple updates its online store.

Should You Wait?
For those using older iPads or the M2/M3 generation, the M5 version could be a solid jump in speed and longevity. But M4 owners might skip this one, as the performance bump and design tweaks appear incremental rather than revolutionary. The real draw is Apple’s evolving M-series power on a familiar, premium slate.
