Sounds like the October event is basically centering around the M5 chip with about 10% increase in CPU performance and some extra on the GPU ... perhaps with few other chip refreshment on other product lines .... along with the updated Studio Display .... Well. *Disappointment*
Because he's in Russia. They have no official presence there.
Don't bother. I can understand Russian and this guy is annoying as hell.
Does anyone remember how long it took between the russian Macbook Leak and Apple's official release?
Could be no event at all. Just “New iPad Pros, now with new chips” in a press release.
I'm guessing it will have at least 1 GPU core less than the MacBook Pro variants. This seems like a decent way of using the lower yield products.
I could be 100% wrong.

Yes I'm sure Apple is leaking products to a Russian.
No. 12gb the base and 24gb ram with 1T
The M4 iPads came out months ahead of the Macs. It lends credence to the reports that the Macs won’t come out until next year.
Nice, let’s bring a traffic to the ruzzion trash can. Well done , Joe
Because they can't get Apple products on the legal market, so it's already some grey channel getting these products to Russia.
If this guy ends up getting an iPhone Fold next year also a month before the release date, his YouTube channel will blow up with views!
There hasn't been a groundbreaking reason to buy a new iPad since they first announced the Pros with the pencil, so this tiny performance boost sounds like a weak reason to upgrade.
The Macs running M5 going to get similarly tiny boosts?

not much has changed, my m4 iPad Pro should be good for 3 more years
If the M5 tops at 24 at 2TB, i will sell BOTH my m4 Pro Macbook and M3 Max Macbook.
ALL IN on iPad
Russia and China partnership confirmed.
How many silly posters doubting it this time? LOL
Last time with the MacBook Pro, some people were coming up with ridiculous excuses why it could be fake.

Compare the sound side by side with the M2 Pro. Or don't, because you can't unhear the difference.
I went back and checked.
The M4 Macbook Leak dropped on Oct-6, with Apple making it official on Oct-30th via press release.
Given that OS 26.1 is still on beta 1, i'm more convinced that the M5 will launch on the week of Oct-27th

That's my guess on why Apple moved to the iPad Pros getting the new M chips first - the initial scale-up at TSMC at these advanced nodes likely yields of lot of "defective" chips at first, which can be used in iPads (1 faulty/disabled performance core).
Sort of surprised the RAM has kept in line with iPhone Pro (12 GB) rather than Macs (16 GB) - I would have thought Apple would be pushing iPad Pro as more of an AI tool.
How about an unboxing video of the iPad Mini 8 with OLED and ProMotion?
That better not just have a chip upgrade. It needs a design refresh. Smaller bezels. 2 cameras. Etc etc.
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 and a Smart Connector still visible.
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.
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.
It is likely that Apple will announce the iPad Pro with the M5 chip in October.
