Apple prepares major design changes for future iPad Pro tablets that will reduce screen borders dramatically. Current models feature borders much thicker than competing devices from Samsung and OnePlus. The company maintained similar border sizes even after introducing OLED screens to the tablet lineup. Tech industry sources report the redesign will match competitor tablet appearances.
Leaked information from Weibo user Instant Digital reveals Apple will eliminate the front camera notch completely. The design change requires new sensor technology hidden beneath the display surface. LG will supply chip-on-film components that enable the thinner border construction around all edges. Advanced manufacturing techniques make the seamless screen appearance possible.
Apple will release M5 iPad Pro models later this year with minimal external changes from current versions. The company plans to rotate the rear Apple logo to landscape orientation instead of portrait position. Users will see the logo positioned correctly when holding tablets horizontally. Mass production begins during the second half of January for the updated models.
The M5 iPad Pro launch may coincide with new MacBook Pro releases from Apple. Original reports suggested 2026 release dates but production schedules indicate earlier availability. Current M4 iPad Pro tablets measure just 5.1 millimeters thick on the larger 13-inch model. The next generation will maintain similar thickness measurements despite internal component upgrades.
