In an unexpected turn of events, Apple’s supply chain has encountered another hiccup, as an unreleased 13-inch M5 iPad Pro surfaced in the hands of a YouTuber prior to its official announcement.
M5 iPad Pro Design: Familiar Look, Noteworthy Upgrades
YouTuber Wylsacom has showcased the 256GB model of the M5 iPad Pro, echoing his previous experience when he unveiled the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro before its launch. The design of the new iPad appears strikingly similar to the M4 iPad Pro, suggesting that this iteration mainly focuses on chipset enhancements rather than aesthetic changes. This might explain Apple’s measured approach to the release, possibly viewing the M5 as an incremental upgrade.
Delving into the specifications, many tech enthusiasts are keen to uncover the benchmark results that highlight the performance upgrades. Overall, the M5 iPad Pro demonstrates an improvement over the M4 iPad Pro but does not revolutionize the user experience. The most pronounced advancement is observable in the Metal benchmark of Geekbench 6, where the M5 achieved over a 30% increase in performance compared to its predecessor. Conversely, a more modest enhancement can be seen in AnTuTu tests. Below are the detailed scores and comparative metrics.
