CUPERTINO, October 15 — Apple today introduced the all-new iPad Pro powered by the groundbreaking M5 chip, marking the most advanced iPad experience to date.
With a next-generation 10-core GPU featuring Neural Accelerators in each core, the M5 chip delivers up to 3.5 times faster AI performance than the M4 and up to 5.6 times faster than the M1, redefining creativity, productivity, and on-device intelligence.
Available in sleek space black and silver finishes and in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, the new iPad Pro also debuts the Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology for unmatched brightness and contrast, while the new C1X modem and N1 wireless chip bring Wi-Fi 7 and up to 50% faster cellular speeds.
John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, said the new iPad Pro “unlocks endless possibilities for creativity and productivity — with a huge leap in AI performance, superfast wireless connectivity, and game-changing iPadOS 26 features.”
The iPad Pro’s thinner, lighter design, faster memory bandwidth, and up to 2x faster storage performance make it ideal for professional and creative users alike. Paired with iPadOS 26 and advanced accessories like Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.
The new iPad Pro sets a new benchmark for power, versatility, and intelligence in a portable device. Pre-orders begin today, with availability starting October 22.
