iPad Pro 11-inch (M5)
The M5 chip brings a big AI and graphics boost to Apple's smallest Pro tablet, but the tandem-OLED screen, 444g body, and cameras are unchanged from the M4 generation — a chip-only refresh at the same $999 starting price.
Pros
- Same tandem-OLED Ultra Retina XDR display as the M4 model, still stunning
- M5's new 10-core GPU delivers up to 3.5x faster on-device AI performance than the M4
- 256GB and 512GB configs now start with 12GB RAM, up from 8GB on the M4
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, plus optional fast-charging up to 50% in about 30 minutes
- Same 444g, 5.3mm body keeps Thunderbolt/USB4 and Apple Pencil Pro support
Cons
- Design, cameras, and the 31.29Wh battery are identical to the M4 model it replaces, which launched just 17 months earlier
- Starting price stays at $999 for only 256GB of storage
- iPadOS still limits how much of the M5's extra power creative apps can use
Very good
