When Apple launched therefreshed iPad Prothis past spring, it became the first to feature the M4 processor.
Next year’s Apple tablet is expected to feature the new M5 chipset.
However, a new report claims we won’t see the next SoC until the back half of 2025.
“The iPad Pro equipped with the M5 processor is expected to enter mass production in 2H25.
At the time, Gurman said the M5 would debut in 2025 on the iPad Pro.
Unfortunately, we don’t know much more about the M5 chip.
The M4 was seemingly rushed out the door, but previous chips had an 18-month cycle.
A delayed M5 looks like Apple may be attempting to return to that pattern.
This year’s model became slimmer and lighter while getting an altered camera placement.
Apple might be okay with that status quo for a couple more iterations.
