Next Year's iPad Pro Likely to Feature Vapor Chamber Cooling System

[MacRumors]

Apple will add a vapor chamber cooling system to the iPad Pro as soon as next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says an iPhone 17 Pro-style vapor chamber is something Apple has been working to bring to the ultra-thin iPad Pro, and it could debut in the next model, which is expected to arrive in spring of 2027.

Apple overhauled the thermal design of the iPhone 17 Pro models to include a vapor chamber cooling system, where a small amount of deionized water moves heat away from the A19 Pro chip and distributes it throughout the iPhone's aluminum unibody frame. Apple says the design allows for 40 percent better sustained performance for demanding tasks.

The next generation iPad Pro model will likely feature Apple's M6 chip made with TSMC's 2-nanometer process. The liquid cooling system would help mitigate throttling, especially as the ‌iPad Pro‌ becomes more capable at handling intense workflows.

M6 iPad pro not this year that suck i'am really waiting for upgrade from iPad air M2

Thermal throttling has not been the limitation of my iPad (even for gaming). It’s iPad OS and restricting software to the app store that’s the “throttle”.

Sudo and root file system access please Apple (never gonna happen).

Not a feature, but more a fix for overheating processors as they continue to make them more compact and faster.

As far as features go, whatever happened to the rumored dual front-facing cameras/faceid so I can unlock my device in portrait-orientation without moving my thumb?

Can't see any reason to want another ipad after i got m4 oled one.

Powerful hardware with a Fisher-Price OS.

What use is all that power and speed when we can't do any real work on it? Just let us install MacOS on it already.

Finally, a solution to the overheating I experience on my iPad Pro from the intensive software.

Really? Has Apple run out of ideas.

I appreciate people have distortion reality syndrome so look away. Steve Jobs lost touch in the 80s and needed to get the boot from Apple as he was making expensive crap no one wanted it’s time for Cook to go!

Apple copying Samsung once again? Samsung started using Vapor Chamber (VC) cooling systems in Galaxy Tabs in S9 (2023).

No need for vaporware!! just keep warm for cat naps, or overclock normal for fried egqs.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

Yeah! Can't wait for a New Year's iPad Pro!

Was expecting the next iPad Pro only in 2027. With M6 launching this year most probably, the iPad Pro won’t be the first device with the new chip. Addition of vapor chamber is good but currently not facing any thermal issues with my M4 iPad Pro except when using Pencil with the Notes app for some time.

 

[CATiNTHESTORE]

no sense for iPad from constructive perspective

 

[grammatica]

I guess this is cool, but the issue is the software! My M5 iPad Pro sometimes lags or becomes unresponsive. This should not be happening.

“Hey, remember how spot on I was about exactly what was going to be released this past week, even going as far as knowing that more people were going to be rushing to stores this week (even though anyone paying attention knows Apple usually does preorders the week of, then has items in stores the following week)? Well, you’ll want to subscribe to read about my NEW dreams! Actually, you’ll don’t really need to subscribe, just wait for someone else to post a link to the details. Anything to keep ‘Gurman’ and ‘Bloomberg’ showing up well in search results!!”

Nope, governments don’t want there to be any way for people to figure a way around their non-anonymity legislation! 😉
