قارن طرازات iPad Pro

Apple usually gives the Pro the newest chips and the best displays first. Typical features include a high refresh rate (ProMotion), very bright, high-contrast panels, fast USB-C ports with Thunderbolt support and four-speaker audio. On top of that come camera features such as LiDAR for AR apps.

Who is the extra cost worth it for? If you draw professionally, edit high-resolution video or work on large RAW photos, you'll make full use of the advantages. For series, browsing and email, on the other hand, a Pro is overkill.

The size names have changed over the years: early models came in 10.5 and 12.9 inches, later ones in 11 and 12.9 inches, and the latest in around 11 and 13 inches. The generation is often given as a number in the listing (e.g. “4th gen”) or can be worked out from the year and chip. Used Pro models from recent years are an interesting route to lots of power – in everyday use an older Pro often outperforms a new entry-level iPad.

Check the screen for pressure marks and dead pixels, ask about the battery capacity and get confirmation that Find My has been turned off and the device removed from the previous owner's Apple Account. With expensive Pro models, dealer listings with a statutory warranty are particularly recommended.

On the iPad Pro, the amount of RAM partly depends on the storage tier you choose: on some generations, the largest storage options come with more RAM. That can matter for professionals with big projects, but the base versions are enough for most users. Check the spec sheet if that extra headroom is important to you.
