Which is better for drawing and note-taking?

The iPad Pro 11-inch. Its 120Hz screen makes the Apple Pencil feel more responsive, and it supports the second-generation Pencil, which charges magnetically on the side. The iPad 10.9-inch works with the first-generation Pencil through a USB-C adapter.

Which has the better front camera for video calls?

The iPad 10.9-inch. Its 12MP landscape Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage keeps you in frame as you move. The Pro's 7MP front camera is older and lacks Center Stage.

The Pro should stay fast for more years because of its much stronger chip and 8GB or more of RAM. The iPad 10.9-inch is fine for light tasks but will feel its age sooner with heavy apps.

Is the Pro worth stepping up to?

Yes if you edit video, draw seriously, play demanding games or want the best screen and speakers. If you mainly browse, stream and take calls, the iPad 10.9-inch covers it.

Do both run the same apps?

Yes. Both run iPadOS and the same App Store apps. The Pro runs heavier apps more smoothly and can drive external displays and fast storage over its USB-C port.

Which is easier to carry?

The iPad 10.9-inch. It is lighter and slightly smaller, which matters for reading and one-handed use. The Pro is noticeably heavier.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch vs Apple iPad 10.9-inch

The iPad Pro 11-inch is the better tablet: a 120Hz ProMotion display, M-series-class performance, Face ID, quad speakers and Apple Pencil 2 support put it well ahead of the iPad 10.9-inch on screen, speed and build. The iPad 10.9-inch is the simpler, sturdier-feeling choice for light use, with a newer front camera and Center Stage for video calls. Owners of the Pro praise the screen and speakers; owners of the 10.9-inch praise reliability and ease of use, though many wish it had more base storage.

Choose the iPad Pro 11-inch if you want the best screen, the fastest chip and a tablet that will stay quick for years.
Choose the iPad 10.9-inch if you mostly browse, stream and take video calls and want a simple, dependable tablet.
