The journalist claims that the purported M5 iPad Pro model will only likely receive a specifications bump and its overall design could remain identical to the current model.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Apple refreshed its M4 iPad Pro in May 2024 and it became the first iPad in the company&#8217;s lineup to feature an OLED screen. It also came with a new landscape front camera and a thinner profile. Except for the new M5 SoC, the purported M5 iPad Pro is speculated to retain these design elements.<\/p>\n<p>At present, there are four variants of the tablet under testing \u2014 J817, J818, J820 and J821. They are said to be on track for production in the second half of 2025.

Meanwhile, Apple is also reported to be working on M6 chipset-powered iPad models although the development is still in early stages. Gurman suggests they could be equipped with the company&#8217;s proprietary modems.<\/p>\n<p>With the debut of <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/apple-iphone-16e-price-in-india-130887\">iPhone 16e<\/a> in February, the Cupertino-based tech giant <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/mobiles\/news\/iphone-16e-c1-5g-modem-specifications-launch-apple-7751110\">introduced<\/a>\u00a0its in-house C1 modem to power cellular connectivity.
