Apple's 2025 iPad Pro arrives with the M5 chip, and it is the most powerful tablet Apple has built. I lived with it for several weeks, pushing it through work and play. It delivers on the promise, full stop. It feels like a step forward in tablet computing, the kind that finally gives the hardware the performance headroom it deserves.
Faster charging is a practical perk for anyone constantly moving. Grabbing 50 percent in roughly half an hour changes how you plan power stops between shoots, meetings, or classes.
The bigger picture: iPad Pro's evolving role
The M5 iPad Pro is more than a spec bump, it shows how hardware and software can line up to reshape day-to-day use. With iPadOS 26 adding Mac-like multitasking, a better Files app, and more desktop-class touches, the software finally uses what the chip can do, as reported by Tech Buzz. Together, they create a feel that Tech Buzz describes as a super-fast laptop that never seems to slow down, according to Tech Buzz.
For creative pros, developers, and power users who can lean on the M5's AI chops and graphics muscle, this iPad Pro earns its keep. The tandem OLED display still outclasses any MacBook Pro screen, as noted by Gizmodo, and the whole package remains the standard-setter for premium tablets.
On paper some of these upgrades look incremental. Together, they add up to a more capable, future-ready device that pushes what a tablet can be. Bottom line, if you are coming from an M1 iPad Pro or earlier, the upgrade makes strong sense. The mix of faster AI, more memory, quicker storage, and better wireless connectivity delivers a meaningfully better experience. If your M4 is humming along, wait another round unless you need the AI leap or the faster charging the M5 brings.
