Apple iPad Pro, Vision Pro 2 Rumors: M5 Chip On Deck
Apple has just unveiled fresh iPhones, AirPods and Watches for the season, and updates to its other devices could soon follow.
Rumors swirl New MacBooksA new iPad Pro and even an update of the age of almost two years Apple Vision Pro. All these upcoming products could share something that has not yet been announced: an M5 chip. Mark Gurman, a precise source of the future Apple roadmap, has given this work for months.
Apple tends to release its processors from the M series on an annual rate. THE M4 made his debut With the latest version of the iPad Pro in May 2024. While products with new generation fleas tend to obtain versions staggered over time, including variations with additional or RAM treatment nuclei, this year, we can see a certain number of updates at all levels with the M5 chip at once.

I am most interested in Apple’s future computers, the iPad Pro and Apple Vision Pro, which have both been crowned like the next wave beyond Mac at different times in the past five years.
Although the pro vision is always an extremely niche device, iPads regularly become more similar to Mac with operating system changes under the hood. There are an increasing number of possible clues and leaks, from an FCC file for what looks like Pro 2 to what looks like a complete unpacking of the iPad Pro M5 in Russia.
If you plan to buy either, wait. Here is a mixture of what we expect and what I hope will be announced.
The iPad Pro obtained its overhaul last year. This year, are waiting for performance increases and perhaps an update of the camera.
iPad pro m5: focus on pure power
A year ago, the iPad Pro M4 saw a great overhaul: it became thinner, introduced a new pro pencil and added a screen in tandem Oled which still did not appear elsewhere in the line. This fall, I expect to keep this design and exchange in a better chip, with a few camera boosts.
The greatest possible feature is two front cameras that allow both landscape and portrait video cats, which I don’t need, but some professional users could.
Right now, and in recent years I have not found iPad equipment as the limiting factor. It is the software and the operating system that have the impression of being retained, especially since the iPads now have the same treatment power as Mac. Apple does not yet transform iPad into literal macs, but iPados 26 Now has a multitasking system for application windows that looks more like Mac than ever. A larger display and a better processor could pay new ways.
I always would like to redesign the magic keyboard which allows really flat convertible transformations like a case of folio, but if not, the only thing I don’t like in the current iPad Pro line is its price. The M4 chip was not a notable boost of performance on the M3, however, so perhaps this year, the M5 could finally show a jump.
The pro vision could improve in several ways. How much will come this year?
Vision Pro 2: New color, new adjustment and hope for new cameras and IA
While Apple would plan a vision air helmet at a lower cost and smaller in the next two years, the current pro Vision offers still impressive capacities compared to the rest of the VR landscape, but it is far too expensive. His current M2 chip feels well behind the rest of Apple’s products. Visionos, however, continues to become more ambitiousWith mixed reality widgets, impressive virtual avatars and more.
It seems very likely that we will get a pro 2 vision very soon, but the design of the material may not become smaller or cheaper. Instead, new components could keep it ready for late upgrades, such as AI on board.
An M5 chip on a pro vision would give it the most powerful processor on a mixed autonomous reality device, which will probably be much more adjusted to manage the multiple cameras, sensors and graphic functions of the helmet. It should also allow high -end games, something that can be pressure now that the pro vision supports PSVR 2 controllers.
The reports indicate that the new pro 2 vision will be black instead of white and will have a new head strap for a better balanced adjustment. This is good news, because I had to buy head straps so that mine is in good shape. But don’t expect it to be lighter. And the chances are strong, he will always have a battery attached as she does now.
I would like to see improved on -board cameras for better passage video quality. I would also like an improved resolution screen. (Even if those of existing vision are excellent, there are high resolution options that could be adopted.)
In addition, as the Vision Pro Visualization Zone is more limited than that of other VR headsets, an improved field of vision would be welcome. The progress of the hand monitoring of the hands and the precision of the low -light sensors could (and had to) be made.
I would love to see Apple to make its own spatial version of the pencil for art and creative tools, but will it come now? Apple has just announced the support of Third Stylus like that of Logitech, but it could be too early for a real vision pencil. It could come with the air in a few years.
The biggest advance that the M5 could offer is the multimodal AI on board, pushing the means that the helmet could effortlessly recognize foods and passing cameras and helping. Google works on Gemini for the next Moohan mixed reality headset from Samsung, but Apple Intelligence On Vision Pro still has no visual conscience.
Keep an eye in October for updates and new Macs. I am curious to see what the M5 could bring, and if it will make such a big difference as I think.
