Here's Every New Apple Product That Leaked Yesterday

[MacRumors]

A handful of upcoming Apple products leaked yesterday, through a combination of YouTube videos out of Russia and U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents that were released, despite Apple's confidentiality requests.

The leaked products include an iPad Pro with an M5 chip, as well as updated MacBook Pro and Apple Vision Pro models. All of these devices had already been rumored previously, and only minor spec bumps are expected for each of them, so the leaks did not reveal any major new details. Still, the leaks provide additional evidence that the products are in Apple's pipeline, with at least some likely to be announced this October.

It is unclear if Apple plans to host an event this October, or if the company will announce its latest products with a series of press releases and product videos. However, an October event seems likely if the M5 chip debuts this month, as the standard version of the M1 through M4 chips were all unveiled during events. There is no guarantee that pattern will continue, of course, but an October event seems more likely than not at this point.

• Apple Event in October? Here's What to Expect

Below, we have recapped details about the Apple products that leaked yesterday.

iPad Pro

Unboxing videos for what appears to be an iPad Pro with the M5 chip were uploaded to YouTube by Russian channels Wylsacom and Romancev768.

The same YouTube channels leaked the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip before it was announced by Apple last year, so these latest leaks are likely legitimate.

According to the Geekbench 6 benchmark result shown in one of the videos, the 9-core M5 chip offers up to 12% faster multi-core CPU performance compared to the 9-core M4 chip in the current iPad Pro. As for graphics performance, the M5 chip appears to have up to a 36% faster GPU than the M4 chip, per the Metal score shown.

The benchmark result also showed the iPad Pro with 256GB of storage will have 12GB of RAM, just like the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. iPad Pro models with the M4 chip have only 8GB of RAM when equipped with 256GB of storage.

Based on the videos, the next iPad Pro models will not have any obvious external design changes, aside from "iPad Pro" no longer being inscribed on the back of the device. A spec bump from the M4 chip to the M5 chip is the key change expected.

It was previously rumored that the next iPad Pro models will have two front cameras, instead of one, making it easy to have video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations. One of the unboxing videos seems to indicate that this rumor is true, but it is not entirely clear, so we shall see what Apple's eventual announcement says.

MacBook Pro

FCC documents that were accidentally released to the public, despite Apple's confidentiality requests, revealed a regulatory label for an unreleased MacBook Pro with a model identifier of A3434. This is likely one of the updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips that are rumored to launch in late 2025 or early 2026. No other major changes are expected beyond the faster chip options.

Not much can be gleaned from the documents, aside from there being no references to Wi-Fi 7 support in them. Instead, the documents suggest the next MacBook Pro models will remain limited to Wi-Fi 6E, based on the tests that were completed. Wi-Fi 7 support is not entirely ruled out yet, but keep your expectations low for now.

If you can wait, rumors suggest bigger changes are planned for the two-generations-away MacBook Pro models in late 2026 or early 2027.

Those rumored changes include an OLED display for improved contrast ratio, a touch screen, a thinner design, and M6/M6 Pro/M6 Max chips fabricated with TSMC's latest 2nm process, for more significant year-over-year performance improvements.

It has also been rumored that Apple might add cellular connectivity to Macs, so perhaps the MacBook Pro models with an OLED display will be equipped with a similar custom-designed modem as the C1 chip in the iPhone 16e or C1X chip in the iPhone Air. Plus, the notch surrounding the front camera might get smaller on the OLED models.

Vision Pro

Finally, FCC documents also revealed an updated version of the Apple Vision Pro headset, with a model identifier of A3416. According to the documents, it appears the headset will continue to support Wi-Fi 6, instead of Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7.

A spec bump from the M2 chip in the current Vision Pro to the M5 chip is the key change expected with the updated model. Other rumored changes include... Click here to read rest of article

[SteveJobs2.0]

I disagree. The key change for iPad Pro is the move from 8GB to 12 GB RAM. That will have far more impact for the average user than a CPU/GPU performance jump.

 

[Robert.Walter]

I won’t be surprised to learn that it was no leak, it was deliberate.

 

[progx]

Was really hoping for the Vision product that will compete with those new Meta Lens. Guess that might be further down the road for Apple and its Vision products

 

[GianL]

As someone already mentioned: A**34 was used for prior 12" MacBook...

 

[JPack]

Basically “chip and ship” updates.

I’m a little surprised Vision Pro doesn’t get N1, but then again it’s a commercial failure so the SoC update is really just to keep it from becoming a brown banana.

 

[Rychiar]

if they drop a new vision that still has wifi 6 its just pathetic. Of all the devices that should gave had wifi 7 from the start it should be in this device you can't plugin. If he only update is a cpu bump it obviously serves no purpose other than that they stopped making m2 chips cus who's gonna buy it? it will be years before any software specifically requires said chip bump as they barely have software for the m2 which will have a much higher if still meager user base... hell most quest games even still support the 2

 

[Rafagon]

Apple's confidentiality requests. 😂😂

Shows how seriously people take Cook.

 

[Astuces iOS]

Bro I think Apple wants to leak.

 

[Compile 'em all]

Where are the airtags? 😳

 

[turbineseaplane]

My summary of the leaked products:

Big, huge, yawn.


Said best here 👇

Basically “chip and ship” updates.

 

[OGdrknight]

Great, no new Apple TV 4K for X’mas again!

 

[jz0309]

It amazes me that back in the Mac Intel days people were outraged when the updates between models were up to 2 years or so cause of lack of intel updates.
Now Apple seems on a somewhat yearly cycle and everybody goes "yawn, boring".

 

[dcingie]

Will the M5 still sputter and stutter and hang up when you swipe right to the App Library? Bc my god I can’t believe we have the world’s most powerful processor and it can’t load a screen smoothly

Apple software quality is not just in the toilet, it's further down the pipe in the actual sewer.

This is the really depressing part of all this hardware horsepower they keep shipping. It's needed to keep up with their bloated garbage software quality.

 

[Lioness~]

Give me a Black iPad mini Pro!

I know they call the current 7, iPad mini (A17 Pro) - but it’s not the iPad mini Pro.
If it was Apple would’ve called it Pro.

Give next mini a M-chip!

My hands don’t what a bigger iPad, just more power.

 

[Galas]

I'm way more excited for all the 'secondary' products, like the ATV and airtags.

 

[paulcons]

Imma holding out for a M5 Pro Mini base w/512k storage.

I alway call the iPad „mini“ the 9“ iPad Air. So, I agree with you. An 9“ iPad Pro is missing.

A big nothing nothing burger.

 

[acblue94]

Great, no new Apple TV 4K for X’mas again!

What’s wrong with the latest version?

 

[thejadedmonkey]

All we're missing is an elevator, really.

Does anyone have a copy of that elevator leak pic from like 20 years ago?

 

[indefinite]

They need to account for the fact that current iPhone 17 Pros outperform iPad Pros with 8 GB of RAM, especially the M2 iPad Pro. It noticeably lags on iPadOS 26.

 

[Apple Fanboy333]

A 36% faster GPU in the M5 compared to the M4 is pretty significant! I got my Mac Studio M4 Max at launch and was blown away by the GPU performance, so it’s crazy that the M5’s GPU is already that much more powerful. Unless I’m missing something, e.g. the 36% being a total performance bump rather than per-core.

 

[Happy_John]

If a leak contains what was expected already, is it really a leak? I mean - there's going to be a new iPad Pro, a new Apple TV, an M5 chip etc - aren't all these things already a given? MacBook Pros will get an OLED screen, but not in the next iteration but instead at some vague point in the future, Ram will increase in iPads just as RAM has already been increased in iPhones (Air and pro), the M5 chip will be faster than the M4 chip. Anyone who vaguely follows Apple could release these assumption as a "leak" and be confident that most of the assumptions will be proven correct.
