The eighth-generation iPad Pro, marketed as the iPad Pro (M5), is a line of tablet computers developed and marketed by Apple as part of their iPad brand. They were announced on October 15, 2025, and released on October 22.

Key improvements include an update to the processor from Apple M4 to M5, increased default RAM to 12 GB for base models (with 1 TB and 2 TB models retaining 16 GB), and 45% improved graphics performance. The M5 variant also features enhanced memory bandwidth of 153 GB/s compared to 120 GB/s on the M4 and up to two times faster storage read and write speed, along with upgraded wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and support for Thread networking technology. The display now dims to 1 nit minimum brightness.
