The new M5 iPad Pro is thin—even slimmer than the latest iPad Air —and it packs the same tandem OLED display and 11- and 13-inch flavors. It may essentially be a spec bump over last year’s Pro model, but if you were planning on running endless tiled windows with iPadOS 26 , that still makes it your best bet.

The new M5 chip is the highlight. It promises faster AI performance than its M4 predecessor thanks to new neural engines built into each of the 10 GPU cores. That could lead to 3.5 times better performance when using apps that leverage AI. The new iPad Pro also includes what appears to be the same 10-core CPU—with four performance and s
