The new M5 iPad Pro’s biggest change isn’t the M5 chip
Apple’s all-new M5 iPad Pro is here — and while everyone’s talking about the new chip, the real story is something else entirely. The most eye-catching upgrade isn’t inside the device, but right on the surface: the world’s first Tandem OLED display and the thinnest design ever on an Apple product.
A display that feels alive
The new Ultra Retina XDR display on the M5 iPad Pro uses two OLED panels stacked together, delivering incredible contrast, brightness, and color depth. Blacks look truly deep, whites pop off the screen, and HDR content looks almost lifelike. Apple calls it the most advanced display they’ve ever made, and it’s easy to see why.
Thinner than ever before
At just 5.1mm, the new iPad Pro is Apple’s slimmest device ever — even thinner than the iPhone 15. Despite the razor-thin frame, it still feels solid and premium, thanks to Apple’s precision-engineered aluminum body.
M5 power with better efficiency
Yes, the M5 chip brings improved performance and efficiency, especially for creative professionals. But compared to last year’s M4, the jump isn’t revolutionary. The focus this year is clearly on design and display quality — areas where Apple wanted to make a bold visual statement.
The iPad that redefines “Pro”
With its stunning new display, impossibly thin design, and the power of M5, Apple’s latest iPad Pro feels like the start of a new chapter. It’s not just a tablet — it’s a showcase of what Apple’s future devices might look like.
