Is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro worth it over the 11-inch?

If you want the mini-LED XDR screen and the brightest HDR playback, yes. The 11-inch Pro uses a standard LCD, so the gap is mostly the display.

How does it compare with the iPad Air?

The Pro adds ProMotion 120Hz, the XDR panel, Face ID and more power. The Air is lighter and enough for notes, browsing and streaming.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?

It works with the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard for this size. Both are sold separately.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates about 10 hours of web or video on Wi-Fi and about 9 hours on cellular. Heavy editing shortens that.

For documents, streaming and cloud photos, yes. Video projects and large art files fill it quickly, so consider more storage if you edit on device.

The iPad, a 1 m USB-C cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. No keyboard or stylus is included.

About the Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is Apple's largest tablet, built around a mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR screen and the M2 chip. The display hits 1600 nits peak in HDR and runs ProMotion up to 120Hz, which makes it the best tablet screen for HDR video and color work. It is heavier than the 11-inch model at 24.2 oz, so it suits desk, studio and couch use more than one-handed reading. Against the 11-inch Pro it adds the XDR panel; against the iPad Air it adds ProMotion, the brighter screen and more power.
