Apple is reportedly preparing major upgrades for its iPad Pro lineup in 2027, with the introduction of a new cooling system and a next-generation chip.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming iPad Pro will be equipped with a vapor chamber, designed to significantly improve thermal performance and overall efficiency.
The vapor chamber technology will allow the high-end tablet to remain cooler during heavy workloads such as gaming, video editing, and multitasking. This upgrade is expected to help the iPad Pro deliver sustained peak performance without overheating—an issue common among powerful, thin devices.
Apple iPad Pro 2027 to Feature M6 Chip
In addition to the new cooling system, Gurman reports that the 2027 iPad Pro will be powered by Apple’s M6 chip, built using TSMC’s advanced 2nm process. The M6 SoC (System on Chip) is expected to offer improved speed, power efficiency, and AI capabilities compared to the current M5 chip found in the 2025 iPad Pro models.
Apple’s ongoing collaboration with TSMC ensures that the M6 will be among the first consumer chips manufactured using the cutting-edge 2nm process, marking another milestone in Apple’s silicon innovation.
Current iPad Pro 2025 Features
The latest iPad Pro 2025 lineup, launched earlier this month, already introduced several notable upgrades. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch variants, these models feature the M5 chip, the N1 wireless networking chip, and Apple’s in-house C1X modem. They also come with 12GB of RAM as standard and support faster charging speeds.
However, with the 2027 model, Apple seems focused on pushing the iPad Pro even closer to laptop-level performance, while maintaining its sleek and lightweight design.
If Gurman’s report proves accurate, the 2027 iPad Pro will not only be faster but also much cooler and more efficient, setting a new benchmark for tablet performance in Apple’s ecosystem.
