Apple is planning to bring an iPhone 17 Pro-style vapor chamber to the iPad Pro, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explained that with increasingly powerful chips, Apple is planning to bring vapor chamber cooling to the iPad Pro. The new feature could arrive as soon as with the next generation, which will likely feature the "M6" chip made with TSMC's 2-nanometer process. The liquid cooling system would help mitigate throttling, especially as the iPad Pro becomes more capable at handling intense workflows.
If the move to bring a vapor chamber to the iPhone and iPad Pro prove successful, Apple could turn its attention to bringing the technology to other passively cooled devices like the MacBook Air. Apple is now seemingly operating an approximate 18-month refresh cycle for the iPad Pro, so next-generation model should arrive in the spring of 2027, according to Gurman.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today further outlined what to expect from the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 set to be unveiled on September 9.
While it was initially rumored that Touch ID may be coming to the Apple Watch this year, Gurman reiterated that he does not expect the Series 12 or Ultra 4 to have any major design changes compared to the current Series 11 and Ultra 3 models.

Following some recent speculation that Apple could release its foldable phone under the "iPhone Duo" name, it appears that will indeed be the case, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
For months now, the foldable iPhone has generally been referred to as the "iPhone Ultra," even internally, but Apple is apparently going in a different direction for the official name, emphasizing the...
Awesome, I was hoping Apple would implement this on the iPad Pro. And hopefully more memory while we are at it.
With the iPad Pro getting more and more capable, my 11" with a Magic Keyboard is my go-to computer for everything when away from my desk. Rarely touch my MacBook.
So if the ipad pro cannot deal with the heat from M6...then also the macs needs a better cooling solution starting with the M6 Macbook air and so on since for the M5 Macbook air is too late
About time! I thought this years M5 iPad Pro would come with one. Although now that I think about it, the Apple logo has copper for a better heat transfer, since the M4 iPad Pro.
But now… now I think: what about the MacBook Air? It’s been demonstrated that the M5 consumes more power and need a higher heat dissipation… so from my point of view, the M5 MBA will be the perfect time to equip a vapor chamber to better dissipate heat.
We keep enjoying the USB-C to SD Card reader dongles. Honestly, SD Card slots are a wasted input on MacBook Pro as this is meant for photographers and creative illustrators for those that need storage on the go. No one uses it.
