Which is better for drawing and note-taking?

Both run Apple Pencil Pro on the same 11-inch 120Hz display. Pick A for the clear 256GB spec, or B if you want cellular for syncing sketches on the go.

Is the 512GB model worth the same price as the 256GB one?

At $1,139 each as of November 8, 2026, 512GB plus 5G would be the better value. Confirm the storage with the seller first, because B's spec sheet says 256GB.

Both use the M5 chip and iPadOS 26, so software support should match. Storage decides useful life: 512GB lasts longer than 256GB if you keep large files.

Do I need the cellular model?

Only if you work away from Wi-Fi often. Otherwise A's Wi-Fi model saves the data plan and keeps the same performance.

Can I use a Magic Keyboard with both?

Yes. Both are 11-inch iPad Pro M5 models, so the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch fits either.

Which has the better screen?

They should be identical: 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR with ProMotion. A lists 120Hz and 264 PPI explicitly; B lists only the resolution.

Apple 11-inch iPad Pro (M5) vs Apple iPad Pro 11 (M5)

Both listings land at $1,139 at Amazon as of November 8, 2026, but they are not the same configuration. Product A is the 11-inch iPad Pro (M5) with 256GB and Wi-Fi only; Product B is labeled 512GB but its spec sheet says 256GB storage, 12GB RAM and 5G cellular. Buy A if you want the plain Wi-Fi 256GB model at a known price. Buy B only after confirming the actual storage and cellular band support with the seller.
