Apple just dropped the new M5 chip — and it’s changing everything.
From the M5 iPad Pro to the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and even the 2nd-gen Vision Pro, Apple’s latest silicon is built entirely around on-device AI performance. In this video, we break down what makes the M5 chip such a massive leap over M4, how it powers each of Apple’s new products, and why this might be Apple’s most important hardware generation yet.

We’ll cover:
⚙️ M5 chip specs and performance upgrades (AI per watt, 4x GPU boost, 16-core Neural Engine)
📱 iPad Pro M5 — faster AI workflows, new N1 + C1X chips, Wi-Fi 7, and 120Hz external display support
💻 MacBook Pro M5 — 24-hour battery life, faster SSDs, and macOS Tahoe with Apple Intelligence
🕶️ Vision Pro 2 — M5 + R1 power combo, 120Hz refresh rate, Dual Knit Band, and new immersive apps

And finally, how Apple’s entire ecosystem is now becoming AI-first — not chatbot-focused, but built to make your life easier every day.
