The M6 iPad Pro should be released in 2027 as we previously mentioned. What we didn’t say is that the launch could take place during the first half of the year, possibly during the spring. This would dovetail with the launch date of the most recent iPad Pro tablets which were the first Apple slates to feature an OLED display. Powered by the M4 chip, the seventh-generation top-of-the-line iPad Pro tablets hit the shelves last May.
Before the M6 iPad Pro surfaces in 2027, the M5 iPad Pro should begin mass production later this year. Don’t expect a new design for Apple’s priciest tablets since the M4 model not only added the OLED screens, it also made the tablets extremely thin. Apple could release the eighth-generation iPad Pro later this year or, more likely, early in 2026. That would dovetail with the rumored spring 2027 arrival of the M6 iPad Pro.
With the 2027 version featuring a 2nm processor, those looking to update their iPad Pro slate might want to wait a couple of years. The 2nm M6 chip should help the 2027 iPad Pro deliver faster performance and longer battery life.
