The iPad Pro M5, expected to launch with Apple’s new M5 chip in October, has already been unboxed ahead of its official release. A recent leak gives a first close-up look at the upcoming device.
The unboxing video, shared by a Russian YouTuber, showcases the design, specifications, and the reviewer’s impressions of the iPad Pro M5—anticipated to be officially announced later this month.
iPad Pro M5 Leaked Video: Key Highlights
In the video, the iPad Pro M5 box prominently features the M5 chip branding. However, the design closely resembles the 2024 iPad Pro M4, including the 13-inch display and the 256GB storage variant. The visuals suggest Apple may not make major design changes for this iteration, likely because the previous generation already received significant updates.
The YouTuber showcases the device in black and also reveals a new 45W charger. The iPad Pro M5 runs on iPadOS 26 and has a battery stamped as manufactured in August 2025. Benchmark tests in the video show only modest performance improvements over the M4, indicating that while the M5 chip may not be a major upgrade, it still offers strong performance for its form factor.
The same YouTuber has previously gained access to unreleased Apple products, lending credibility to this leak. The video suggests the iPad Pro M5 announcement is imminent, likely alongside other Apple releases such as the iPad Mini and potentially the new AirTag 2.
