Is the 9.7-inch iPad Pro still worth buying?

Only as a cheap used or refurbished tablet for reading, video and light notes. For current apps and games, a newer iPad is a better buy.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil?

Yes, it supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, which charges by plugging into the Lightning port. The second-generation Pencil does not work with it.

What is the newest iPadOS it runs?

It tops out at iPadOS 16. Newer apps that require later versions will not install.

How much storage should I get?

Skip 32 GB unless the tablet is only for streaming. 128 GB is the practical minimum for apps, photos and offline video.

Is the 4G model worth it?

Only if you need data away from Wi-Fi. Otherwise the Wi-Fi model is cheaper and you can tether from a phone.

What comes in the box?

Used listings vary. Expect the tablet and a Lightning cable or charger at most; the Pencil and Smart Keyboard are sold separately.

About the Apple 9.7-inch iPad Pro

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is Apple's 2016 mid-size tablet, with a 2048 x 1536 Retina display, an A9X chip, 2 GB of RAM and support for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. It stands out for its True Tone display, a 12 MP rear camera with 4K video and a thin 15.4 oz body. It shipped in 32, 128 and 256 GB Wi-Fi and 4G versions. It is long discontinued, so shoppers compare it against newer iPads and the used and refurbished market rather than a live retail range.
