"The last time Apple upgraded the iPad Pro was in May of 2024, and that device was a huge change from what had come before. That Pro came with a new, thinner design, an OLED screen upgrade, new accessories, and a much-improved camera setup. It was also the first device to run the M4 processor; Apple is apparently making a habit out of debuting new chips and new tablets together."
"Adding even more power to the iPad Pro makes sense, as Apple continues to turn the device into something a lot more like a laptop. With iPadOS 26, you can now do almost free-form multitasking on the iPad, and paired with the (also very good) Magic Keyboard accessory it can do a lot of MacBook things. We've said for years that the iPad's bleeding-edge hardware has been held back by its hand-holding software, but the platform seems to be opening up more and more."
Apple announced an updated iPad Pro featuring the new M5 chip and internal upgrades. The previous Pro, released in May 2024, introduced a thinner design, OLED screen, new accessories, improved camera, and the M4 processor. The M4 Pro became the market-leading tablet despite high prices reaching around $2,000 for premium configurations. The M5 increases processing power as Apple shifts the iPad toward laptop-like functionality. iPadOS 26 adds near free-form multitasking, and pairing with the Magic Keyboard enables many MacBook-style workflows. The platform's software is opening up, making it more feasible to fully utilize the M5's capabilities.
