iPad Pro with OLED screen rumored for imminent release as manufacturing of OLED displays commences at Apple factories
📣 Hot off the press! Rumors are swirling that Apple's next big gadget, the M5 iPad Pro, is set to drop in October 2025! 🍏📱
Reports indicate that both Samsung and LG have kicked off mass production of the OLED displays for this baby, which lines up nicely with the October release timeline. Last time around, Samsung handled the 11-inch display duties, while LG took care of the 13-inch panels. This time, it seems like they're both in on the action, helping Apple diversify its supplier network and setting the stage for the 2026 iPad Mini and 2027 iPad Air to follow suit with OLED panels. 🌈
Praise it from the rooftops: Undercover investigators digging through the deets report that the iPad Pro is pegged to be in the advanced testing phase since March. Adding fuel to the fire, the rumor mill churned out intel that Apple started mass-producing the M5 chip in February. If true, we're looking at a device that's dukes-up and ready to dance. 🎉
What's New in the M5 iPad Pro?
Playing coy, the rumor mill isn't revealing a pack-load of juicy new features for this model. But we can count on the M5 chip offering beefed-up graphics and a revamped Neural Engine, which should give Apple Intelligence a serious boost.
On the downside, Apple seems to be facing some obstacles in implementing their fancy 2nm process work. Darn delays. So, the M5 chip might wind up relying on the same 3nm process it used to get its muscle from. No worries, folks, though: that shouldn't stop this iPad Pro from finding its way onto our best iPads list. 🥇
Speaking of hardware, we're also expecting a revised MacBook Pro to be unveiled alongside the M5 iPad Pro. For those keeping score at home, the rumored MacBook OLED display overhaul might not make an appearance until 2026. But when it does, we're expecting a visual feast alongside extended battery life, thanks to the magical power of OLED. 🥳
Stay tuned for more updates on the M5 iPad Pro, including some sweet new features that might make their debut sometime next year. In the meantime, keep refreshing, friends, because the best is yet to come! 💻💡🌟
