M5 iPad Pro reportedly leaked in unboxing video

Apple just launched a new lineup of flagship iPhones, but it's probably not done releasing new products this year. We could still get new AirTags, MacBooks, or even iPads.

To be clear, nothing is officially announced as of yet, but Apple watchers are paying close attention to a new leak that suggests something might be unveiled soon. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman spotted an unboxing video on YouTube for a new M5 iPad Pro. The video, uploaded by a Russian account called Wylsacom, features about 13 minutes of very explicit, up-close footage of a new iPad that Apple fully hasn't said anything about yet.

To be clear, we can't independently verify that this M5 iPad Pro is legit, but Gurman is a reliable source of Apple news.

If the product in the video is real, the new model looks physically identical to the M4 iPad Pro released a year ago. It's very thin with a single camera on the back, just like its predecessor. One thing that stands out (apart from the fact that at one point in the video the YouTuber smells the tablet, for some reason) is that it's purportedly a 256GB model with 12GB of RAM. Previously, the M4 iPad Pro with 256GB of storage only had 8GB of RAM, so that would be an upgrade. According to the YouTuber, the new Apple tablet also outperforms the old one in benchmark tests, which is not a surprise.

There are a couple of weird things to note here, as pointed out by 9to5Mac. First, Apple doesn't sell its products in Russia, so it's hard to figure out how this guy got his hands on a new, unannounced iPad. Second, this isn't the first time this has happened. The same account did the same thing with the M4 MacBook Pro last year.

Go figure.
