Apple iPad Pro 12.9" M1 2021 at a glance 🔍

Which iPad Pro in the series is right for you?
The 12.9" M1 (2021) sits between older and newer models. If you prefer a smaller screen, consider the 11" M1 (2021). If you want the latest chip, the 12.9" M2 (2022) improves performance and introduces newer features.
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9" M2 2022 (6th Generation) — faster for pro video and graphics work; usually priced higher.
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9" 2020 (4th Generation) — still capable but lacks mini‑LED screen; often costs less used.
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9" Cellular M1 2021 (5th Generation) — same core hardware with cellular connectivity for mobile data.
Choose the M1 12.9" if you want the best mix of display quality and value. Pick M2 if you need extra raw GPU power. Choose the 2020 model when you want to save and can compromise on HDR display quality.
