Apple iPad 10.9-inch vs Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch M1

The iPad Pro 12.9-inch M1 is the stronger tablet on every spec that matters: bigger XDR screen with ProMotion, M1 chip, Thunderbolt, Face ID, four speakers and 128GB base storage. The iPad 10.9 is lighter, simpler and the easier pick for a student, a kid or a casual reader who wants a current iPad with a warranty and no cosmetic wear. Reviewers rate both highly, but the Pro listing here is a used unit in great condition with light scratches, so buy it for the hardware and accept the wear.

• Choose the iPad 10.9-inch if you want a light, current iPad for notes, streaming, browsing and schoolwork, and you prefer a new unit over a used one.
• Choose the iPad Pro 12.9-inch M1 if you edit video, draw, run heavy apps or want the best screen and speakers, and you are fine with a used device in great condition.
