New iPad Pro M5

The new iPad Pro featuring Apple’s M5 chip represents the most powerful and versatile iPad experience to date. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, this next-generation device combines ultra-thin industrial design with desktop-class performance, making it the go-to choice for professionals, creators, students, and anyone who needs speed, intelligence, and portability in one.

With major gains in AI processing, graphics rendering, and multitasking efficiency, the iPad Pro with M5 is engineered for the future. Whether you're editing 4K video, generating content with AI apps, working on architectural plans, or running multiple pro apps simultaneously, this iPad is built to keep up without compromise.

Breakthrough AI and Performance with the M5 Chip

At the heart of the new iPad Pro is the M5 chip, Apple’s latest generation of custom silicon. Designed specifically for AI and pro workflows, it features a new 10-core GPU with Neural Accelerators in each core, delivering exceptional speed for machine learning, creative tasks, and real-time rendering.

Compared to previous models, the M5 delivers up to 3.5 times faster AI performance than the M4-powered iPad Pro, and up to 5.6 times faster than M1. This means that tasks like image generation, video masking, LLM text processing, and animation previews can now run directly on-device at lightning speed, no cloud processing required.

The chip also features a 16-core Neural Engine optimized for Apple Intelligence and foundation model frameworks in iPadOS 26. Performance is further enhanced by up to 150GB/s of unified memory bandwidth and significantly faster SSD read and write speeds, resulting in minimal lag even under heavy multitasking. Models with 256GB or 512GB of storage now start with 12GB of memory, a 50% boost over previous generations.

Whether you're editing in Final Cut Pro, working with 3D environments in Octane X, or switching between SketchUp, Illustrator, and Zoom, the M5 chip keeps everything fluid, responsive, and battery-efficient.

Stunning Visuals with Ultra Retina XDR Display

The new iPad Pro features the most advanced display Apple has ever made — the Ultra Retina XDR. Powered by tandem OLED technology, this display delivers an extraordinary viewing experience for professionals and content creators alike. Both the 11-inch and 13-inch models support full-screen SDR and HDR brightness up to 1000 nits, with peak brightness reaching 1600 nits in HDR mode.

Visuals are further enhanced by ProMotion technology, which provides a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for ultra-smooth motion whether you're drawing, scrolling, or watching high-frame-rate video. With P3 wide color and True Tone, color accuracy is top-tier, making this display ideal for photo editing, VFX, and animation.

For users working in bright studios or on-location, Apple also offers a nano-texture glass option. This matte-like finish reduces glare while maintaining color fidelity and contrast, providing a premium viewing experience in any lighting environment.

A Thinner, Lighter iPad Pro That’s More Capable Than Ever

Despite the power packed inside, the new iPad Pro is the thinnest Apple product ever. The 11-inch model measures just 5.3 mm thick, while the 13-inch model is only 5.1 mm — making both incredibly portable and comfortable to use on the go.

Apple has re-engineered the chassis to accommodate the new M5 chip and thermal system while improving energy efficiency. The result is a device that runs cooler, faster, and longer than previous generations. With fast charge support, you can go from 0 to 50% in around 30 minutes using Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter or another high-wattage USB-C charger.

In terms of workflow, users will immediately notice the faster app launches, smoother app switching, and near-zero latency when interacting with complex files or multitasking across apps. Whether you're sketching, presenting, editing, or just browsing, everything feels immediate and fluid.

Supercharged Productivity with iPadOS 26

The power of the M5 chip is amplified by iPadOS 26, which brings a refined multitasking experience and new AI-powered tools. The OS introduces a redesigned windowing system, giving users more precise control over how they organize and switch between apps. The new menu bar and updated Files app make it easier than ever to navigate complex workflows.

Users can now:

• Set default apps for opening file types
• Access folders directly from the Dock
• View and edit PDFs with the new Preview app
• Manage large downloads and shared content more intuitively

For creative professionals, iPadOS 26 also unlocks local audio input management, background processing for render queues, and new Pro camera and capture tools. Together, these features help transform the iPad Pro from a powerful tablet into a full creative workstation.

Apple Intelligence features are now deeply embedded into iPadOS 26. These include systemwide Live Translation, AI-generated content suggestions, improved Shortcuts automations, and the ability to interact with files, messages, and content using natural language. All of this runs on-device, maintaining Apple’s industry-leading standards for privacy and performance.

Precision Accessories for Drawing, Typing, and Creating

To take full advantage of the new iPad Pro, Apple has redesigned its accessory lineup to meet the needs of professionals and creatives.

The new Apple Pencil Pro includes squeeze gestures, haptic feedback, tilt and pressure sensitivity, and a hover preview feature. This allows artists and note-takers to work with pixel-level precision, mimicking the feel of pen on paper. The Pencil integrates tightly with pro apps like Procreate, Illustrator, and Notes, while remaining easy to charge and store magnetically.

The Magic Keyboard has also been updated with a floating cantilever design, full function row, aluminum palm rest, and a precision touchpad. It brings a laptop-like typing experience to iPad, complete with backlit keys and gesture support. This makes it ideal for students, business professionals, and creators who use their iPad as their primary computer.

Smarter Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7 and Next-Gen Cellular

Apple has introduced two new wireless components with this iPad: the N1 chip for wireless networking and the C1X modem for cellular models. The N1 enables support for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and improves performance for AirDrop, Personal Hotspot, and Sidecar. The C1X modem brings up to 50% faster 5G data performance, along with 30% lower power consumption when compared to previous models.

With support for eSIM and global 5G bands, users can easily add a data plan and stay connected wherever work takes them. GPS and location services are also built in, making this iPad Pro ideal for travel, fieldwork, and on-site professional use.

Designed to Last and Built with the Planet in Mind

As part of Apple’s commitment to environmental responsibility, the new iPad Pro includes:

• 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure
• 100% recycled rare earth elements in magnets
• 100% recycled cobalt in the battery
• 100% fiber-based packaging

Manufactured with 55% renewable electricity, this iPad Pro meets Apple’s standards for energy efficiency and longevity, and supports the company’s goal to be carbon-neutral across its entire product lifecycle by 2030.
