Apple M5 comes close: Is the change for Mac and iPad at the door?
Apple attracts attention with the M4 series processors, has accelerated its preparations for the M5 series. The new generation of chips, especially CPU and GPU design will contain significant changes. According to the latest information, Apple will use M5 processors on MacBook Pro models first. Here are the latest details.

iPad Pro update can hang to 2026

According to Mark Gurman’s latest report, Apple will first offer M5 chips on MacBook Pro models. The new generation MacBook Pro’lar will not bring major changes in design. Instead, the focal point will be the increase in performance and power efficiency. At this point, the M5, which will undergo the N3P production process of TSMC, is expected to offer a 5 %to 10 %less power and 5 %performance increase than the previous generation N3E.

Gurman also claims that the iPad Pro will remain with the M4 chip for 2025 and the M5 version can only be released in 2026. Apple’s iPad Pro will not redesign the iPad Pro this year. The model, which has undergone a major change with its ultra thin design, may remain stable for a while in terms of hardware updates. This strengthens the possibility that the iPad Pro, a M5 processor, can be postponed to 2026.

For the kidnappers, Apple’s use of SOC (System-on-A-Chip) design on the M series chips is now a well-known strategy. However, there are allegations that this approach can change with the M5 series. According to Ming-Chi Kuo’s previous statements, Apple plans to use TSMC’s SOIC-MH (System-on-on-in-the-chips-Molding-Horizontal) packaging technology in Apple, M5 Pro, M5 MAX and M5 ultra models.

This method will increase thermal efficiency by covering 30 %to 50 %less space than traditional SOC designs. Thus, the chips are expected to work with full performance for longer. Finally, Apple also renewed Mac mini and probably the imac models plan to update with the M5 chip said. These upgrades are expected to take place in the last quarter of 2025.
