Apple will add a vapor chamber cooling system to the iPad Pro as soon as next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says an iPhone 17 Pro-style vapor chamber is something Apple has been working to bring to the ultra-thin iPad Pro, and it could debut in the next model, which is expected to arrive in spring of 2027.
Apple overhauled the thermal design of the iPhone 17 Pro models to include a vapor chamber cooling system, where a small amount of deionized water moves heat away from the A19 Pro chip and distributes it throughout the iPhone's aluminum unibody frame. Apple says the design allows for 40 percent better sustained performance for demanding tasks.
The next generation iPad Pro model will likely feature Apple's 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.

Apple plans to adopt OLED panels capable of displaying a much wider range of colors, according to a new report from research firm TrendForce.
The new panels would cover 95% of the BT.2020 color standard, which describes a far broader spectrum of colors than the DCI-P3 standard Apple's screens currently target. In practice, that means deeper, more accurate reds, greens, and blues. Reaching...
Apple is planning to release new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in spring 2027, reports Bloomberg. No major design changes are expected, with Apple focusing on internal upgrades.
The iPad Pro models could use either M6 chips or M7 chips. Apple will introduce the M6 chip as soon as this year in an updated 14-inch MacBook Pro model, but it is aiming to release the M7 chip in the first...
Thermal throttling has not been the limitation of my iPad (even for gaming). It’s iPad OS and restricting software to the app store that’s the “throttle”.
Sudo and root file system access please Apple (never gonna happen).
“Hey, remember how spot on I was about exactly what was going to be released this past week, even going as far as knowing that more people were going to be rushing to stores this week (even though anyone paying attention knows Apple usually does preorders the week of, then has items in stores the following week)? Well, you’ll want to subscribe to read about my NEW dreams! Actually, you’ll don’t really need to subscribe, just wait for someone else to post a link to the details. Anything to keep ‘Gurman’ and ‘Bloomberg’ showing up well in search results!!”
Was expecting the next iPad Pro only in 2027. With M6 launching this year most probably, the iPad Pro won’t be the first device with the new chip. Addition of vapor chamber is good but currently not facing any thermal issues with my M4 iPad Pro except when using Pencil with the Notes app for some time.
Finally, a solution to the overheating I experience on my iPad Pro from the intensive software.
Really? Has Apple run out of ideas.
I appreciate people have distortion reality syndrome so look away. Steve Jobs lost touch in the 80s and needed to get the boot from Apple as he was making expensive crap no one wanted it’s time for Cook to go!
