A Russian YouTuber just posted a video unboxing what appears to be an unannounced iPad Pro with an M5 chip. Rumors have indicated that Apple would launch an M5 iPad Pro as early as October, and this video could be our first look at the actual product.
Externally, this new M5 iPad Pro doesn’t appear to have major differences from the M4 iPad Pro released in May 2024. Based on what’s shown in the video, the new device is still a big, thin tablet with a relatively unobtrusive bezel, and it once again looks to only have one camera on the back. The M5 iPad Pro is rumored to get a portrait front camera in addition to the landscape front camera available on the M4 model, but in the video, it’s difficult to see if this alleged new iPad has both of those cameras.
The iPad in the video is also missing the “iPad Pro” text found on the back of the M4 model — the only things you can see on the back of the new tablet are the antenna line, the camera system, and the Apple logo.
The YouTuber, Wylsacom, also ran some Geekbench 6 tests on this alleged M5 iPad Pro and an M4 iPad Pro to compare benchmarks across the two models. For the CPU tests, the M5 iPad Pro got a single-core score of 4,133 and a multi-core score of 15,437, while the M4 iPad Pro got a single-core score of 3,718 and a multi-core score of 13,324. For the GPU tests, the M5 iPad Pro got a score of 74,568 and the M4 iPad Pro got a score of 55,702.
Apple didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. And Wylsacom leaked M4 MacBook Pros last year ahead of their official announcement. If Apple is indeed going to launch an M5 iPad Pro sometime soon, we may not have to wait too much longer to see if the tablet in this video is the real deal.
