The M5 iPad Pro is already queued for mass production, with an estimated release window in the second half of 2025.

Apple won't introduce a new chip with its best iPad lineup, as it did with the M4 iPad Pro. Here's when to expect the M5 iPad Pro.

Apple's next update to the iPad Pro line with an M5 chip is quite a way from release, an analyst claims, with mass production of the tablet expected to happen in late 2025.

While previous M-series chips debuted in a Mac, Apple surprisingly launched the M4 in the iPad Pro several months before it appeared in a Mac. With the first M5 Macs expected to launch in late 2025, the M5 iPad Pro may arrive in September alongside the iPhone 17.

An iPad Pro equipped with Apple's next-generation M5 processor is expected to enter mass production in the second half of next year, according

Chi Kuo, Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its next iPad Pro in fall 2025, and it’s going to boast an M5 chip.

We've already heard several rumors pointing towards a 2025 launch for an M5-powered iPad Pro and an Apple smart home display – potentially mashing together an iPad and a HomePod – and now a leading Apple analyst has added to the prediction pile.
