In order: iPad launches spanning the years 2010 to 2025
Apple has announced that the next generation of its iPad Pro is set to launch in the fall of 2025. The new device is expected to bring significant improvements in performance, versatility, and connectivity.
The heart of the new iPad Pro will be the M5 chip, built on an advanced 3-nanometer process. This chip is expected to deliver substantial improvements in CPU, GPU, Neural Engine performance, and likely enhanced AI capabilities.
One of the most noticeable changes will be the addition of dual front-facing cameras. Unlike the current model with a single front camera optimised for landscape mode, the 2025 iPad Pro will have two front cameras. One will be on the landscape side, and the other on the portrait side. This will allow video calls and photography to work seamlessly in either orientation and may enable new features such as Desk View or multi-cam functionality.
Another key update is the increase in standard RAM. The 2025 iPad Pro will come with 16GB RAM across all configurations, not just high-storage models. This will support iPadOS 26’s productivity features and AI demands.
In terms of design, the 2025 model will retain the OLED display and slim chassis introduced last year, without major design changes or bezel reductions expected for this generation.
The iPad Pro has always been a powerhouse device, and the 2025 model is set to continue this trend. With its focus on performance improvements, versatility in use orientations, and better connectivity, the new iPad Pro is shaping up to be a formidable tool for creatives, professionals, and everyday users alike.
The first iPad Pro, launched in 2015, marked a significant departure from the original iPad with its larger 12.9-inch Retina Display. Since then, Apple has continued to innovate, introducing features such as the Apple Pencil and a keyboard for Apple's tablet. The iPad Pro (11-inch and 12.9-inch, 4th generation), launched in 2020, upgraded to the M1 silicon, the company's first desktop-class processor in an iPad.
The iPad Pro is not the only device in Apple's lineup to receive regular updates. The iPad mini, first launched in 2012, has also seen numerous iterations, each bringing improvements in performance and design. The iPad mini (7th generation), launched in 2024, moved to the A17 Pro processor that allowed it to run the full Apple Intelligence experience. The iPad mini packed an iSight camera and next-gen network hardware for improved wireless speeds.
The iPad Air, first launched in 2013, has also undergone several updates, each bringing improvements in performance and design. The iPad Air (5th generation), launched in 2022, shifted from A-series mobile processors to the desktop-tier M1 chip.
In conclusion, the upcoming iPad Pro in 2025 will be a powerful device, with its M5 chip, dual front-facing cameras, and 16GB of standard RAM. It is expected to launch in the fall of 2025, positioning itself as a leading choice for those seeking a versatile, high-performance tablet.
