Apple’s Next-Gen iPad Pro to Feature M6 Chip and Advanced Vapour Chamber Cooling, Reports Mark Gurman

/in /tarafından

Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce a vapour chamber cooling system in the next-generation iPad Pro, slated for release in spring 2027. The technology, similar to the system used in the iPhone 17 Pro, aims to improve thermal management, allowing the device to sustain peak performance without excessive throttling. This upgrade is expected to complement the new M6 chip, built on TSMC’s 2-nanometer process, which promises significant gains in speed and efficiency over its predecessor. Devamını Oku

Apple unveils new M5 chip powering upgraded MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro

/in /tarafından

Apple introduced its latest generation of hardware on Wednesday, rolling out new versions of the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro headset, all powered by the company’s most advanced M5 chip. The updates reinforce Apple’s push to stay ahead of rivals like Qualcomm and Intel, which have recently launched AI-optimized processors.

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M5 chip marks a significant upgrade from last year’s M4 lineup. Built using an advanced 3-nanometer process, the M5 delivers greater speed and energy efficiency, enabling devices to run large language models directly on the device. Despite the leap in performance, pricing remains unchanged — the MacBook Pro starts at $1,599, the iPad Pro at $999, and the second-generation Vision Pro headset at $3,499.

Apple said the new hardware lineup targets creative professionals and developers seeking on-device AI capabilities. The company’s decision to debut the M5 in its high-end products mirrors its strategy from previous years, prioritizing premium models before bringing the chip to other devices.

The Vision Pro, launched in 2023 as Apple’s first major new product in a decade, has received positive reviews for its visual quality but limited adoption. The updated version aims to attract more users with better performance and smoother app integration. Meanwhile, iPad sales are projected to grow about 6% in fiscal 2025 after a multi-year slump, aided by lower-cost models and a recovery in global electronics demand.

Apple Reportedly Testing M5-Powered iPad Pro for 2025 Launch

Apple is said to be in the late stages of testing a new iPad Pro powered by the upcoming M5 chipset, according to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The new tablet is expected to be among the first devices to debut with the next-generation Apple Silicon. Production of the M5-equipped iPad Pro could begin in the second half of 2025, with four different models reportedly in development.

Gurman shared these insights in his latest Power On newsletter, where he noted that while the M5 iPad Pro will see internal upgrades, the external design is likely to remain largely unchanged. This suggests Apple may be focusing more on performance improvements rather than a major design overhaul for this generation. The four versions currently undergoing testing are codenamed J817, J818, J820, and J821.

The new model will follow the M4 iPad Pro, which launched in May 2024 and introduced a number of significant upgrades, including OLED displays, a thinner chassis, and a front-facing camera repositioned to landscape orientation. Early speculation indicates that the M5 version will retain these design features while building on the performance and efficiency improvements of the newer chip.

In addition to the upcoming iPad Pro models, Apple is also reportedly working on refreshed MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops that will be powered by the same M5 chipset. These laptops, like the iPads, are expected to retain their current designs. Gurman also mentioned that Apple has begun early development of M6-powered iPads, which may feature custom-built Apple modems—though those are not expected to arrive anytime soon.
