M5 iPad Pro Expected in Fall 2025

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the next iPad Pro will arrive in Fall 2025, featuring the M5 chip. This aligns with Apple's typical 18-month update cycle.

Kuo also reports a delay for a HomePod with a display, pushing it to the second half of 2025. It's unclear if this is the same device as the rumored "HomePad" smart display.
