Revolution in the tablet market: iPad Pro M5 sets new standards!
On November 1, 2025, technology enthusiasts can look forward to the launch of the new iPad Pro with the M5 chip. Apple introduced the device on October 15, 2025, and it raises the bar for tablets even higher. With significant improvements in AI performance and storage speed, it's not just attracting the attention of creatives and tech enthusiasts.
The M5 chip, manufactured with TSMC's advanced 3nm technology, ensures optimized heat dissipation and increased energy efficiency. A leap in performance: The new chip offers up to 3.5 times better AI performance compared to the previous model M4 and even up to 5.6 times faster speeds compared to the M1. This advancement is particularly attractive for users who use graphically demanding applications.
Model variants and prices
The iPad Pro comes in two sizes, 11 and 13 inches, and is available in Space Black and Silver. Prices start at $999 (11-inch, Wi-Fi) and $1,299 (13-inch, Wi-Fi). Features range from 256GB to an impressive 2TB, with the 1TB and 2TB models boasting a 10-core CPU and 16GB of RAM. None of the models come with a mobile connection as standard, which represents an additional cost factor if you want comprehensive connectivity.

The 1 TB and 2 TB models offer a very special feature: a nano-texture glass ensures a matt black display that reflects less and is easier on the eyes - ideal for long work sessions.
New software and features
To accompany the new hardware release comes iPadOS 26, which offers a fresh design aesthetic with the new “Liquid Glass” that dynamically adapts to lighting conditions. Users can look forward to macOS-like multitasking, which includes, among other things, flexible windows and a swipe menu bar. A PDF preview app, a diary app and an improved Games Hub with Apple Arcade are also new.
The developers have outdone themselves: Advanced audio settings optimize sound handling, while Apple Intelligence integrates contextual recommendations and smart help into apps. This promises to work with greater efficiency and a more creative flow.
The new hardware is also environmentally friendly as it consists of 30% recycled material. Apple aims to be completely carbon neutral by 2030. Pre-orders for the iPad Pro started on October 15th and sales began on October 22nd.
With a knack for innovation, Apple launches the new iPad Pro, ushering in a new era for both creatives and technology lovers. And this paves the way for higher quality digital experiences.
