Description
The smaller iPad Pro shares nearly everything with its 13-inch sibling. Since its October 2025 refresh it runs on the M5 chip, uses Apple’s N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and on cellular units relies on the Apple-designed C1X modem. Its tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display, Face ID and Thunderbolt port make it the most capable compact tablet Apple sells.

What to check before you buy
- Confirm the chip is M5 and not the previous M4 model.
- Cellular units use eSIM only; check that the tablet is unlocked and not tied to a carrier.
- Check storage, because memory and CPU core count change with the 1TB and 2TB tiers.
- Look for a sealed box and ask the seller about the warranty start date.
- Buying across the border? Our guide for Canadian buyers explains duties and shipping.
