In a bid to enhance the performance of its iPad Pro, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly planning to incorporate a vapor chamber into the device. This feature has been instrumental in improving the performance of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models.

Apple is preparing to bring the iPhone 17 Pro’s vapor chamber cooling system to the iPad Pro, with the change likely landing in the 2027 model, according to Bloomberg. The feature, already rolled out on this year’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max,

Apple plans to introduce vapor cooling in the next iPad Pro, following its successful implementation in the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. This technology aims to address overheating issues during demanding tasks while enhancing performance.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) (AAPL:CA) is developing a new vapor chamber cooling system for an upcoming iPad Pro, targeting a launch as early as 2027, as part of a broader push to enhance device performance and differentiate its premium tablets from the iPad Air,

To help differentiate the lineup from the iPhone Air, the M6 iPad Pro is expected to get the same cooling technology that's in the iPhone 17 Pro in the spring of 2027.
