- Is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 5th generation still worth buying?
- Yes if you want a large, fast screen at a lower price than current models. It runs iPadOS well and handles drawing, editing and multitasking. Buy newer only if you need the latest chip or display upgrades.
- How does it compare with the M2 12.9-inch iPad Pro?
- The M2 model adds a faster chip, ProRes video capture and Wi-Fi 6E. The screen, size and accessory support are largely the same. For most buyers the M1 version is the better value.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?
- It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard made for the 12.9-inch Pro. Older first-generation Pencil and older keyboards do not fit.
- What is the battery life like?
- Apple rates it at up to 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy drawing, editing or high brightness will cut that noticeably.
- Is 256 GB enough?
- It is fine for documents, streaming and moderate photo libraries. Video editors and heavy game users should consider more storage, since it cannot be expanded.
