A leaked unboxing video has given the first full look at Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro powered by the new M5 chip. The video was uploaded on YouTube by the Russian channel Wylsacom and it showcases the unannounced device in detail.
About the authenticity of this source, this isn’t the first time the channel has revealed Apple products early. Wylsacom previously leaked the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip before its official launch. Adding more credibility to the leak, Bloomberg’s reliable Apple reporter Mark Gurman also shared the video link on X (formerly Twitter).
The unboxing video suggests that the model in question is a 13-inch iPad Pro featuring the M5 chip, 256GB of storage, and a sleek Space Black finish. From the outside, the design looks almost identical to the M4 iPad Pro with familiar elements such as a single rear camera, four-speaker setup, and Smart Connector still present. Apple also seems to have maintained the device’s ultra-thin 5.1mm profile.
One small design change is noticeable, which shows the word “iPad Pro” is no longer engraved on the back of the tablet.
Performance upgrades appear to be the highlight of this generation. Geekbench 6 benchmarks displayed in the video show that the M5 chip delivers up to 12% better multi-core CPU performance compared to the M4 chip. Like its predecessor, it comes with a 9-core CPU configuration, three performance cores and six efficiency cores. The GPU has seen a bigger leap, offering up to 36% faster graphics performance than the M4, based on the Metal score.
Another important upgrade is in memory. The benchmark reveals that the 256GB iPad Pro variant now includes 12GB of RAM, matching the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. In comparison, the M4 iPad Pro with 256GB storage was limited to just 8GB of RAM.
The device in the video is shown running iPadOS 26, and the Settings app indicates its battery was manufactured in August 2025.
Beyond the M5 chip, rumours have suggested that the next iPad Pro could feature a second front-facing camera to improve video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations. However, the leaked unit does not clearly display this addition.
Apple is widely expected to officially unveil the iPad Pro with the M5 chip in October.
