Description
October 2025 brought the M5 chip to the iPad Pro, along with Apple’s N1 wireless chip and, on cellular versions, the C1X modem. The ultra-thin 5.1mm design and tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR panel carried over from the M4 generation, but on-device AI work and graphics got faster and fast charging was added with a high-wattage adapter.

Who it’s for
Choose the 13-inch Pro if you draw, edit 4K video in LumaFusion or Final Cut Pro, or use the iPad as your main computer with a keyboard case. Casual users who mostly read and stream will get similar day-to-day comfort from the 13-inch iPad Air.
What to check before you buy
- Make sure the title says M5, because the M4 model looks almost identical.
- For cellular versions, check that the unit is carrier unlocked; these models are eSIM only.
- Nano-texture glass is only offered on 1TB and 2TB units; confirm what you are getting.
- Accessories such as the Pencil and Magic Keyboard are sold separately.
- Watch for suspiciously cheap listings and read how to spot fake eBay listings.
