Leaked M5 iPad Pro Unboxing Video Reveals All
▼ Summary
– A Russian YouTuber has leaked an unboxing video of the unannounced M5 iPad Pro, similar to last year’s M4 MacBook Pro leak.
– The M5 iPad Pro design is nearly identical to the M4 model, with an ultra-thin chassis and a single rear camera, though it’s unclear if it has dual front cameras as rumored.
– Benchmark results show the M5 chip has a 9-core CPU and offers a 10% single-core and 15% multi-core performance improvement over the M4, with L2 cache increased from 4MB to 6MB.
– Graphics performance is significantly enhanced, with a 38% improvement in Geekbench Metal tests and an 8% GPU boost in AnTuTu compared to the M4.
– The leaked 256GB model has 12GB of RAM, suggesting lower storage M5 iPad Pro variants may feature more RAM than their M4 counterparts.
A new unboxing video has surfaced, providing an early look at the unannounced M5 iPad Pro and revealing key details about its performance and specifications. The video, shared by Russian YouTuber Wylsacom, mirrors last year’s early leak of the M4 MacBook Pro, offering a comprehensive preview ahead of Apple’s official launch.
Visually, the M5 iPad Pro maintains the same ultra-thin design as its predecessor, complete with a single rear camera. One detail that remains uncertain is the presence of dual front-facing cameras, a feature previously rumored by Bloomberg for this model.
Benchmark results featured in the video highlight the performance improvements delivered by the new M5 chip. The processor includes a 9-core CPU, matching the M4, but demonstrates a 10% increase in single-core performance and a 15% boost in multi-core tasks on Geekbench. Additionally, the L2 cache has been upgraded from 4MB to 6MB.
Graphics performance sees an even more significant leap. Metal benchmarks show a 38% improvement over the M4 iPad Pro, while AnTuTu results indicate an 8% gain in GPU performance.
The unit shown is a 256GB model equipped with 12GB of RAM, a notable upgrade from the 8GB offered in equivalent M4 configurations. This suggests Apple may be increasing the base memory across several storage tiers for the M5 generation.
Other observations from the video include the device running iPadOS 26.0, the absence of “iPad Pro” branding on the rear casing, and a slightly slimmer retail box.
Apple is anticipated to officially introduce the M5 iPad Pro in October.
The repeated appearance of unreleased Apple hardware on the same YouTube channel raises questions about supply chain security, especially considering Apple’s current absence from the Russian market.
