According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Apple is in “late testing” phases for the new M5 iPad Pro. The M5 iPad Pro will reportedly be one of the first devices powered by Apple’s new M5 silicon.
This new M5 iPad Pro will likely just be a spec bump to the new M5 chip. iPad Pro just received its redesign last year, where it switched to OLED, incorporated a thinner design, and implemented a new front facing camera in landscape position. The codenames for the new M5 iPad Pro are J817, J818, J820, and J821, per Gurman.
The M5 iPad Pro is in “late testing”, and is “on track for production in the second half of this year.”
Apple is also working on a new M6 iPad Pro, which’ll incorporate its new in house modems. Those won’t debut until 2027, however. It’s also working on new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with M5, neither of which will receive a redesign. Gurman also reaffirms that MacBook Pro will receive an overhaul in 2026.
