New rumor that iPad Pros could launch with M4 chip on May 7, but we don’t buy it

• A prominent Apple leaker says that the iPad Pros launching on May 7 could have the as-yet-unreleased Apple M4 chipset.
• This would be an unexpected development as the M3 launched just six months ago.
• For this and other reasons, we don’t buy this rumor. We expect the iPad Pros to launch with an M3 variant.

When it comes to Apple leaks, few leakers are trusted as much as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. However, even the best leakers can be incorrect, and we think Gurman is likely wrong about today’s rumor.

In Gurman’s weekly Power On newsletter today — which focuses on Apple-related news from the past week as well as new leaks and rumors — he states that “there is a strong possibility that the chip in the new iPad Pro will be the M4, not the M3.” For those unaware, Apple is throwing a “Let Loose” event on May 7, which is widely expected to include the debut of a new iPad Pro refresh, which last saw an update in October 2022. Up until today, pretty much everyone expected these iPads to come with Apple’s M3 processor, which launched six months ago.
