Apple has unveiled the new iPad Pro M5. It delivers the biggest leap in AI performance ever for iPad. With a next-generation GPU featuring a Neural Accelerator in each core, M5 makes the new iPad Pro up to 3.5x faster than M4 and 5.6x faster than M1 for AI tasks.

Built for AI-driven creativity

With M5, iPad Pro brings AI workflows to a new level. The 10-core GPU architecture with Neural Accelerators boosts AI performance up to 3.5x faster than M4. It accelerates image generation in Draw Things and video masking in DaVinci Resolve.

The faster 16-core Neural Engine powers Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground and enables developers to run large on-device models using the Foundation Models framework.

M5 also integrates a third-generation ray-tracing engine. It provides up to 1.5x faster 3D rendering than the previous iPad Pro. It’s also up to 6.7x faster than M1. It’s ideal for design, gaming, and creative apps like Octane X, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Illustrator.

Smarter performance and seamless multitasking

The M5 chip delivers a major upgrade across the board — faster CPU cores, 30% more memory bandwidth, and 2x faster storage speeds. The 256GB and 512GB models now start with 12GB of unified memory, giving users more headroom for multitasking, AI model processing, and heavy creative projects.

With over 150GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, users can render, edit, and game smoothly, while fast charge support powers the device up to 50% in around 30 minutes using a high-wattage USB-C adapter.

Advanced connectivity and design

The C1X modem brings up to 50% faster cellular data and 30% lower power use compared to the previous generation. The new N1 chip enables Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, improving AirDrop, Personal Hotspot, and smart home connectivity.

Available in 5.1mm (13-inch) and 5.3mm (11-inch) thickness, iPad Pro remains Apple’s thinnest device. The Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology offers 1600 nits peak HDR brightness and 1000 nits sustained brightness. A nano-texture glass option reduces glare for color-critical workflows, while Adaptive Sync enables smoother 120Hz performance on external displays.

Powered by iPadOS 26 and designed for the future

The new iPadOS 26 introduces a redesigned interface, an all-new windowing system, and Liquid Glass effects that react dynamically to user input. It also adds the Preview app for PDF editing, a supercharged Files app, and more automation with Shortcuts and Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence.

Accessories like Apple Pencil Pro, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Folio expand what users can do on iPad Pro — from illustration to professional editing and multitasking.

Built with 30% recycled content, the iPad Pro meets Apple’s 2030 carbon-neutral goals, featuring 100% recycled aluminium in the enclosure, rare earth elements in magnets, and cobalt in the battery.

Price and availability

The new iPad Pro with M5 will be available starting October 22, priced from SGD 1,499 for the 11-inch Wi-Fi model and SGD 1,999 for the 13-inch Wi-Fi model.

Apple has introduced the new 14-inch MacBook Pro M5. It brings faster performance, greater efficiency, and a major leap in AI capability to the Mac lineup.

The next big leap in AI for the Mac

The M5’s 10-core GPU design brings up to 3.5x faster AI performance than M4, and 6x faster than M1. This makes it ideal for everything from text-to-image generation in Draw Things. It’s also great for faster large language model (LLM) processing in LM Studio.

The enhanced 16-core Neural Engine further speeds up AI-driven workflows such as data modeling, video enhancement, and deep learning . Meanwhile, the 2x faster SSD supports up to 4TB of storage for loading large AI models and handling heavy creative projects.

Next-level performance with M5

M5’s world-fastest CPU core drives up to 20% faster multithreaded performance for code compiling, multitasking, and creative apps like Premiere Pro and Blender. Its GPU enables up to 1.6x faster graphics and 1.6x higher frame rates in games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition compared to the previous generation.

For developers and professionals, over 150GB/s of unified memory bandwidth makes it easier to run large AI models or manipulate complex 3D scenes. AI video tools such as Topaz Video now process enhancements up to 7.7x faster than M1, while compiling code in Xcode is up to 2.1x faster.

Big gains for M1 and Intel upgraders

Upgraders from Intel-based Macs will see up to 86x faster AI performance, 30x faster GPU performance, and 5.5x faster CPU speeds. M1 users get up to 6x faster AI, 6.8x faster GPU with ray tracing, and 2x faster CPU performance.

Battery life rises dramatically — up to 14 more hours than Intel models, and four more hours compared to M1. Fast charge powers the MacBook Pro to 50% in 30 minutes using a 96W USB-C adapter.

The 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display hits 1600 nits peak HDR brightness, while the 12MP Center Stage camera, studio-quality mics, and six-speaker Spatial Audio system deliver superior audio-visual experiences.

macOS Tahoe and Apple Intelligence

Running macOS Tahoe, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro brings major updates to Spotlight, Continuity, and Live Activities, alongside a redesigned interface with Liquid Glass effects and new customization options.

With Apple Intelligence, users can summarize messages, translate calls in real time, and automate tasks using smarter Shortcuts and app-integrated models — all while keeping data private and on-device.

Built for sustainability

The new MacBook Pro supports Apple 2030, the company’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across its products and supply chain by the end of the decade. It’s made from 45% recycled materials, including 100% recycled aluminum, rare earth elements, and cobalt. The device is built using 55% renewable electricity and ships in 100% fiber-based packaging.

Pricing and availability

Customers can pre-order the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 starting October 17 at apple.com/sg/store and in the Apple Store app. It will be available in stores and begin shipping to customers starting Wednesday, October 22.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 starts at SGD 2,199, or SGD 2,049 with education pricing, and comes in space black and silver. Configure-to-order options and accessories are available at apple.com/sg/mac.
