iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)
Apple's largest iPad Pro gets the M5 chip for a big jump in on-device AI and graphics performance, while the 13-inch tandem-OLED display, 579g chassis, and $1,299 starting price all carry over unchanged from the M4 model.

Cons
- Body, cameras, and the 38.99Wh battery are unchanged from the M4 generation
- Starts at $1,299 for just 256GB of storage
- iPadOS still caps how far creative pros can push the extra silicon
Very good
