It's being reported today that the M5 chip iPad Pro has entered the final testing phase and is scheduled to be released this year . This iPad Pro will be one of the first devices equipped with the next-generation M5 chip, according to Mark Gurman.

The new versions of the iPad Pro (models J817, J818, J820 and J821) are in the final testing stage within Apple and are expected to start production in the second half of this year.

Apple has also begun developing a version of the M6 equipped with an internal modem chip, which is expected to be released in 2027.

Next, the MacBook Pro will launch with an M5 chip version later this year and an M5 version of the MacBook Air is also under development.

Further, Gurman broke the news that Apple plans to expand the Health app into an intelligent health assistant, continue to collect data provided by user devices and use AI coaches to make personalized health improvement recommendations based on this data .

Currently, Apple is using data from its internal doctors to train its AI assistant, and plans to bring in external experts in areas such as sleep, nutrition, physical therapy, mental health, and cardiology to produce health-related educational videos. These videos will help users understand certain health issues and provide suggestions for improving their lifestyles . For example, when the health app detects an abnormal heart rate in a user, a video explaining the risk of heart disease may appear .

To this end, Apple will build a new facility near Oakland, California, for doctors to shoot video content. The company is also looking for a well-known doctor to serve as a host for the new service, which is currently being tentatively named "Health+" within Apple.

Food tracking will be an important part of the new app, a functional area that Apple has not previously been involved in. Although the current health app already allows users to record information such as carbohydrates and caffeine, the AI ​​assistant will also help users better use nutrition-related features .

Apple is also developing new features that use device cameras, such as using the iPhone's back camera to analyze a user's workout and provide suggestions for improvement. In the future, this feature may be integrated with other Apple services.

The project is a priority for Sumbul Desai, a physician who has led Apple's health team for years, and Apple COO Jeff Williams is also deeply involved in the work. Currently, the Apple Health team is " almost all of its energy " devoted to this project, and Desai also hopes to avoid the team's past failures in medical applications.
