Apple’s latest iPad Pro largely mirrors last year’s model, retaining the 11- and 13-inch designs and starting prices of $999 and $1,299. The main updates are inside: an M5 chip and Apple’s in-house C1X and N1 networking, yielding modest everyday gains and bigger GPU improvements. A new 40W charger can briefly hit 60W, taking the device to 50% in 30 minutes. iPadOS 26 brings more Mac-like features, including free-form multitasking, a menu bar, and a better Files app. The hardware remains excellent, though the package is costly—especially once accessories are added.
