As happened last year, Apple's new chip, in this case the M5I would arrive before the iPad than the Mac, this tablet being the one that premiered the processor that during all these months, the brand is improving to have the fastest in the market, or at least try.
That is why, although obviously they will reach all the devices, we will not see it in a MAC first, as if it happened with the M1, M2 and M3, although we already saw the change the previous year, which seems to like the company, which will repeat the same play.
M5 launch in iPad Pro
Apple will repeat the play last year and the new M5 chip will debut before in the iPad Pro that in the Mac. The presentation is expected to September 2025and will mark the second time that the company gives priority to the iPad in its new generation of processors.
The difference with the M4 is that, in 2024, the Mac had to wait about six months to receive it. Now, exclusivity will be much shorter, since we talk about just three or four months, so the first Mac with M5 could reach the beginning of 2026.
The great novelty is not only in the chip, but in that Ipados 26 It will arrive ready to squeeze it from day one. Until now, the iPad Pro received plenty of power, but the operating system was not entirely prepared to take advantage.
With this version, Apple introduces a more flexible window system, advanced multitasking, menus bar, app improvements
Archives, background tasks, Live Activities and more complete audio tools, and all presented at the same time as these devices, so we understand that they will be more than adapted to it. In the end we will see a software at the height of the hardware.
In addition, it is rumored that the new iPad Pro with M5 will include a double front camera, one in horizontal and another vertical position, to improve the video calls and the face ID regardless of how you hold the device.
In short, this fall will have a very powerful iPad Prowith a system that can really take advantage of it, and without that long wait to see the same chip in the Mac. If Apple's plan works, it could mark a before and after how it distributes its novelties between iPad and Mac, and leave September as date not only of the iPhone, but also of the iPad, the new systems, and the new processors, that is, a great month for the brands of the brand.
And you, would you prefer to come out before in the Mac, or really do not care if the new chip is better than the previous one? We are at all to verify it, with the first tests that indicate how much it has improved in 2025, although it will be Apple who shows it to us in the presentation, especially if the data is good. Leave us a comment with your valuation on the subject, and if you will finally buy an iPad with this chip, or wait for the next.
