| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Tuesday, October 7th, 2025. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:12.2 | Leading off today, Apple is widely expected to announce at least new iPad pros and a new Vision |
| 0:17.6 | Pro sometime as soon as this month. |
| 0:20.2 | One lingering question is whether or not that |
| 0:22.9 | M5 iPad Pro will have two front-facing cameras. This is something that Bloomberg's Mark |
| 0:28.7 | German had reported a couple months ago as being in development, but recent hardware leaks have |
| 0:33.8 | failed to show a clear indication of whether or not that's true. In his power on |
| 0:38.4 | a newsletter, here's what Garmin says about whether or not the new iPad Pro will have those two |

| 0:50.2 | the second lens. There is, however, a history of Apple testing features at an advanced stage |

| 1:13.9 | feature a second front facing camera. |
| 1:16.6 | As for when to expect the M5 iPad Pro to be released, if you look on Apple's website today, |
| 1:22.4 | inventory levels for the iPad Pro are starting to dwindle, with current shipping estimates for most configurations |
| 1:28.6 | showing mid to late October. Generally, this is viewed as a sign that an announcement of |
| 1:34.4 | new products is imminent. Supply levels for the base model MacBook Pro powered by the M4 are |
| 1:40.6 | also starting to dwindle, but availability for the M4 Pro and M4 Max's configurations remains strong. |
| 1:48.0 | Whether or not Apple releases new MacBook Pros this year remains to be seen, |
