What I'm really curious to see is if it has an x80 Qualcomm 5G modem like the 17 /17 pro and will it bring back mmWave support...... or if apples C1X chip is making it's ipad debut??
If I had to guess I would say it’s the X80 because it’s an iPad Pro.
It's a funny yet informative video. Its like he doesn't care but he is still doing a review.
That was on 6 October 2024, 24 days before the unveiling. If the past two years are an indication, any date of the week of 27 October is likely.
EDIT: hovscorpion12 was ahead of me
I don’t think any rumors have addressed the nano display option. One reason Apple might keep it at 1 TB is to prevent a flood of trade ins from people who don’t need 1 TB but bought one solely for the nano display. It would be a pleasant surprise if all configurations offered nano.
I do respect Apple for not giving in to leaks. Especially when 99% of the full product is revealed and showed off. Most companies would have caved and said "OK here you go" and start taking the $$$. Apple making us wait a full month.
Fake. Apple wouldn’t use the same box art as the M4. They update it with every upgrade to match the background art. Always been like this.
Probably games are more constrained by the limited for factor and lack of active of cooling.
People said the same when they leaked the M4 MacBooks
It’s not fake. 100% real mate
I do believe it has 2 cameras... if you look at the video at 4:09 you can barely see the shimmer of the lens. You can also see it at 7:56 to 8:06... Both times you can see it slightly to the "right", so not centered for some reason. Might be just wishful thinking but there is definitely something there, and it doesn't look like "smudge" etc. Regardless, we will know soon enough
They literally did this last year with the M4, when it leaked we thought it was fake, but it wasn't. I don't see how you would explain the Geekbench scores being higher than any existing iPad. Is what we're seeing so hard to believe? A 10% increase in single-core, 15% in multi-core, and 37% increase in GPU? We knew these things from the A19 Pro benchmarks which form the basis of the M5 chip.
Too be honest, after being stung buying an M1 the week before the M2 iPad Pro launch (Because there was no mention of it at the WWDC) I’m happy we get these leaks now.
i mean.. it's a basic spec bump from iPad M4. there's no reason at all to buy it if you have the M4 iPad.
Why are we referring to *Russian* channels? Seriously...
Apple should just pull out of the Russian Empire completely. Clearly nothing is safe in Russia.

I assume it's easier to hide from an American cooperation somewhere in an even more detached, through war, russia than it is to in North America. Apple has not even officially been selling product there since 2022.
What if they replaced the TB4 port with a.........................TB5 port!!
And bumped the RAM to 24GB, 4TB SSD, increased memory bandwidth & Vapor Chamber.
They officially did in 2022. Stores there source product via third-party nations. Demand remains high. I doubt apple hates this as they still sell Apple TV subscriptions and offer the App Store ect.
In theory there is no Apple Hardware supply chain in russia right now. It's all grey imports. I hope you see how that opens the door wildly for a video like this to happen. If everything is build on grey networks anyway you might as well just hand out the product weeks early if it's already in the truck that is going to end up in russia anyway.
