Now let's hope they make a video of the 1TB version so that we know how much RAM is in that (16 or 24) and what the full chip performance is.
Got a tip for us?

No one can really stop these Russian leakers, as they're getting hardware in from outside Russia, and with Russia outside international jurisdiction at the moment, the most Apple can do is issue a YouTube takedown. They can't be threatened with legal action because that means squat in Russia coming from Apple at the moment.
It's not about hardware.
I would go on here, but this is such an old topic and nothing has meaningfully changed.
All it really NEEDS is to exist. Anyone that wants a new iPad Pro, will just get with with an updated chip instead of from 12-18 months ago. Nothing wrong with that.
Why not? In another thread someone is claiming to be performing high precision power analysis with an old power strip.
As long as it gets the engagement, that’s all that matters to them!
Now I know this can be said about many things, but this is hands down one of the useless upgrades. I don’t know why they wouldn’t just keep manufacturing the cheaper for them, iPad pros
M5 iPad Pro
12GB much faster RAM
10% to 15% faster CPU
36% faster GPU
I think Ill pass unless its Tandem QD-OLED

It doesn't matter if they are in Russia or any other country, there's no case for legal action here regardless of the jurisdiction. These bloggers didn't sign any NDAs with Apple, therefore they have no obligation to keep their secrets.
So why make the Mac GPU so much more powerful if they’re not going to target AAA gaming ?
So it would seem, but Nintendo sued Genki over them showing a 3D model of a Switch 2 at CES and claiming they had access to a Switch 2 before Nintendo had announced it and confirmed its existence. Nintendo effectively won that case, because they reached a settlement involving Genki paying Nintendo and cease-and-desisting from mentioning Nintendo or Switch 2 in its marketing ever again. Hence the Genki Covert Dock 3 which supports Switch 2 isn't even allowed to mention Switch 2 compatibility on their site.
Poor Qualcomm. Just announced their Snapdragon Elite the other day and M5 leak steals their thunder.
They won’t even have Elite based laptops until early 2026 and it looks like Apple will be shipping much faster M5 devices this Fall.

Looks like it will be a very minor update. The increase in RAM to 12GB for the 256/512, if true will be good. Think the higher storage versions will get 18GB. Also the Apple logo remains as such without being in a landscape position. Don't know whether an event will be there or Apple will release it through an Apple Newsroom press release.
i thought the same since the M2. Sometimes i read that with Tesla too they call it M3 for Model 3 😂😂😂
Unless you upgrade from a much older one and just happen to buy this one, as it will be the same price as the current M4, so why not?
We know a redesign for the MacBook is happening next year, the M4 is already faster than what most people realistically need.
A refresh is there for those that happen to upgrade, just like yearly „disappointing“ iPhone upgrades.
You don’t like it? You don’t buy it.
And you probably don’t need it, too.
Want something exciting? Wait for next year.
