When Apple launched the refreshed iPad Pro this 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.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a blog post that Apple won't put the iPad Pro M5 into production until the second half of 2025. This suggests that we won't see the new iPad until the end of 2025, possibly early 2026, though our understanding is that Apple wants the iPad Pro to see annual iterations like the MacBook or iPhone.
