New iPad Pro With M5 Chip Leaked in Unboxing Video

[MacRumors]

An apparent unboxing video for an unannounced iPad Pro with the M5 chip was uploaded to YouTube today by Russian channel Wylsacom.

The same YouTube account leaked the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip before it was announced by Apple last year, so this is likely a legitimate leak.

Based on the box shown in the video, this appears to be a 13-inch iPad Pro with an M5 chip, 256GB of storage, and a Space Black finish. The new iPad Pro does not have any noticeable external design changes compared to the current models with the M4 chip, with features like a single rear camera, four speakers, and a Smart Connector still visible. At a glance, it looks like the 13-inch iPad Pro's impressive 5.1mm thinness is preserved.

There does appear to be one change: "iPad Pro" is no longer inscribed on the back of the device.

Based on the Geekbench 6 benchmark result shown in the video, the M5 chip offers up to 12% faster multi-core CPU performance compared to the M4 chip in the iPad Pro. Like the M4 chip, the listing shows the M5 chip has a 9-core CPU with three performance cores and six efficiency cores. As for graphics performance, the M5 chip appears to have up to a 36% faster GPU compared to the M4 chip, based on the Metal score shown.

The benchmark result also shows 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.

Unsurprisingly, the leaked iPad Pro is running iPadOS 26, and the Settings app reveals that the device's battery was manufactured in August 2025.

In addition to the M5 chip, the next iPad Pro is rumored to gain a second front camera, allowing you to easily use the device for video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations. The video does not seem to show a second front camera, but there might be one.

It is likely that Apple will announce the iPad Pro with the M5 chip in October.

This means October release and not early 2026

It’s insane how we went from “hey, look at this unreleased iPhone found in a bar” to “what’s up guys, today, I’m unboxing an iPad that Apple hasn’t even announced yet”

 

[snipr125]

So an October release?

 

[Gengar]

The "World Premiere" tag like it's a music video on MTV or BET 😂

I tried to scan the QR code at 0:50, but it didn't work for me.

4133 single core on an iPad 🤯

The live translation in my airpods only worked in the beginning. After, "Hello my dear friends!" Apple's live translation stopped working

 

[JDHiro]

I'm hoping this means we get the M5 in a MacBook earlier than expected.

 

[chaseqi]

12 gigs of ram is nice I suppose, it's on par with 17 pro

 

[mikethebigo]

Can’t watch the video right now but any RAM details?

M5 with 12 gb ram compared to M4 8gb
So the base will start with 12gb ram as the A19 pro iphones

 

[Adelphos33]

Wasn’t this model going to have an additional front facing camera?

 

[NVDA]

Is the speaker improved at all? Such a horrible, tinny sound on the M4.

 

[nortonandreev]

It’s a bit suspicious that it happens a second time in a row and both times with products which are just a chip upgrade from the previous gen. And these videos don’t get taken down. Something is off…

Thank you. I’m surprised… was really expecting 16 GB to be the base this year.

 

[Ocze]

10% Singlecore 10% Multicore 12 GB Ram and 35% Matalscore is nice.

 

[andrewxgx]

looks like quite big GPU upgrade (but no information in the video about the neural cores added to it, bummer)

 

[Mac mini power user]

This means October release and not early 2026

Indeed, and this also means we will likely get new M5 Macs and possibly other products as part of a pre-recorded event, separate product videos, and/or press releases.

If it has the A19 GPU cores, the big AI upgrade will be the accelerators on the GPU and not necessarily the neural engine itself.

 

[WilliApple]

How has this guy not been found by apple yet let alone got a bounty by apple

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Wasn’t this model going to have an additional front facing camera?

Probably a leak from someone no longer working there? Or a bad description of the front camera on iPhone 17 that can take a “portrait” picture in either orientation.

 

[psingh01]

It mentioned 12gb.

The GPU performance is significantly up.

Eagerly waiting for more awe to drop....
