M5 Chip Performance
Built on 3nm technology, the M5 delivers a major jump in performance—up to 3.5x faster AI processing than the M4 and 5.6x faster than the iPad Pro with M1. Its 9-core CPU combines three performance cores with six efficiency cores for complex workloads such as 4K video rendering. The 10-core GPU introduces 3rd-generation ray tracing, Dynamic Caching for better graphics efficiency, and enhanced gaming performance. A dedicated 16-core Neural Engine powers advanced AI tasks at unprecedented speed.
Ultra Retina XDR Display
The 11″ Ultra Retina XDR display uses a tandem OLED configuration to deliver exceptional color, HDR performance, and brightness. With a 2420 x 1668 resolution, P3 wide color, and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, it produces deep blacks and precise highlights. HDR content reaches 1600 nits peak brightness, with 1000 nits sustained. Apple’s ProMotion 10–120 Hz adaptive refresh rate ensures smooth, responsive visuals whether editing video, illustrating, or gaming.
Mobile Video Studio
With up to 4x faster AI image generation and 1.6x faster GPU performance than the M4 version, the iPad Pro is built for intensive media tasks. Its Advanced Media Engine supports hardware-accelerated AV1, enabling efficient playback and editing of high-resolution content. You can play back and edit up to five 4K ProRes streams, with full hardware acceleration for 8K H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW.
Neural Engine Support
The 16-core Neural Engine accelerates creative AI workflows—from isolating subjects in 4K footage with Final Cut Pro to separating instruments in a music track or generating musical notation in real time.
Pro Camera System
12MP Rear Camera
Capture sharp 4K ProRes 60 fps video and detailed Smart HDR stills with improved color, texture, and low-light performance.
Smart Scanning
An adaptive True Tone flash uses AI to detect documents and eliminate shadows by stitching together multiple exposures for cleaner scans.
LiDAR Scanner
The built-in LiDAR sensor enhances AR and 3D workflows, enabling rapid spatial mapping and accurate depth data for use in apps like SketchUp.
Stay Front and Center
The landscape-oriented 12MP Center Stage front camera keeps you framed during video calls. It automatically adjusts as you move and expands or tightens the view as people join or leave the frame. Integrated True Tone and Retina Flash ensure natural-looking skin tones. The TrueDepth camera also enables secure Face ID authentication.
Powerful Audio System
Four studio-quality microphones—designed to isolate voices—and a four-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system deliver immersive sound for streaming, recording, and creative work.
Fast Connections
A Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port supports up to 6K 60 Hz or 4K 120 Hz displays and allows transfers up to 40 Gb/s with compatible storage devices. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 ensures exceptionally fast wireless performance with supported networks.
iPadOS
Designed to take full advantage of the M5 chip and Ultra Retina XDR display, iPadOS offers intuitive multitasking with resizable windows, Split View layouts, background task processing, and Live Activities for real-time app control. This iPad ships with iPadOS; the latest version is available via software update.
Apple Accessories
Apple Pencil Pro
Squeeze gestures bring up quick tool palettes, double-tap switches between tools, and built-in haptics provide tactile feedback. A gyroscope enables barrel rotation for precise control over pen and brush shapes. Pencil hover previews strokes before you mark the screen, and magnetic charging keeps it ready to use. Lost your pencil? Locate it through the Find My app.
Magic Keyboard
The redesigned Magic Keyboard features a slimmer profile, an aluminum palm rest, a function row, and a large glass trackpad with haptic feedback. Its comfortable, laptop-like typing experience pairs seamlessly with the iPad Pro for productivity on the go.
