As the title suggests, are there any rumors/release date of the next ipp? I currently own a m4/1tb/wifi-cellular ipp..
Will there be a new display to get excited about? Only get about 8 hours on battery, looking for improvement. Will there be a new cellular chip?

I use my ipp heavily for all the usual reasons, slide show movie creation, photo editing, tv show/movie watching and a lot of laptop replacement chores. Looking for any improvements that will affect my use case.

When would be the release date? Any thoughts on price?

Anyone else looking for a new ipp?

If it has a vapor chamber it's an instant buy for me. I think the m6 chip will push the gpu power to 90-100k on Geekbench. Which means that it will be on par with a M1 Max which means that it will be close to current gen consoles
 
Don't expect one before 2027, it's on an 18 month upgrade cycle. Also I would not expect major hardware updates, Apple tends to do them every 3 generations

The M5 IPP is relatively new, I wouldn't expect a refresh for a while.

With rumors suggesting the next iPad mini 8 later this year & M5 iPad Airs next year will be getting single panel OLED screens & possibly 120hz pro motion… it should be interesting to see what features the M6 iPad Pros in 2027 get to make them worth the higher price compared to the Air. 🤔 Yes the Tandem OLED screens will still be brighter than the single panel OLED screens. But is that enough to make people choose the more expensive M6 iPad Pro? I’m sure nano texture will still be exclusive to the pros & they’ll still have a faster thunderbolt port. But what else? Anything new? Probably more ram than the Air & of course the M6 chip will be faster. But it seems like the gap btwn the Air & the Pro ipads will be narrower than ever next year.
 
The iPad Pro has been on a 1.5 year release schedule for a while now. So, we’re about a year out from the next generation if tradition holds.

  • M1: May 2021
  • M2: October 2022
  • M4: May 2024
  • M5: October 2025

The vapor chamber and M6 are the only rumored upgrades so far. Probably could anticipate C2X modem assuming it’s being released in the iPhone 18 Pros later this year.

MacRumors does a good job with their Buyer’s Guide and Roundup for questions like these.
