An unboxing video for Apple’s unannounced M5 iPad Pro surfaced on Russian YouTube channel Wylsacom, the same source that leaked the M4 MacBook Pro last year. While Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the upcoming M5 iPad Pro will have two front cameras – one on the landscape edge and another on the portrait side, the leaked footage shows no evidence of this dual-camera setup.

The Two-Camera Mystery
There is no evidence of a second front camera in the unboxing videos, with only an ambient light sensor visible in the top bezel. This contradicts earlier reports claiming Apple would add dual front-facing cameras to accommodate both landscape and portrait orientations.
The design confusion raises questions about whether Apple changed its plans or if the leaked units are early prototypes without final camera configurations.
M5 Chip Performance
The unboxing provides the first look at benchmark results from the unannounced M5 chip. While specific numbers weren’t detailed in available footage, the M5 represents Apple’s next-generation silicon expected to power multiple product lines including the iPad Pro and MacBook Air.
Design Consistency
The M5 iPad Pro is almost identical to the M4 model in terms of design, featuring the same ultra-thin chassis with a single camera on the back. Apple appears to be prioritizing internal performance upgrades over external redesigns for this generation.
The leaked 256GB model features 12GB RAM, an upgrade from the M4 iPad Pro’s 8GB configuration at the same storage tier, suggesting improved multitasking capabilities.
What This Means for Users
If Apple implements dual front cameras as rumored, it would address a long-standing complaint about FaceTime positioning. The current landscape-edge camera placement works great for desk use but feels awkward in portrait mode. A dual-camera system could provide optimal video call framing regardless of orientation.
