Is the M5 iPad Pro worth it over the M4?

If you already own an M4 iPad Pro, the jump is modest for everyday use. Buy the M5 if you want the extra AI performance, Wi-Fi 7, or the 16GB memory on 1TB and 2TB models.

How much memory does it have?

12GB of unified memory on 256GB and 512GB models, and 16GB on the 1TB and 2TB models.

Does it come with a keyboard or Apple Pencil?

No. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro are sold separately.

What is the battery life?

Apple rates it at up to 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy editing and AI work will drain it faster.

Which storage size should I pick?

256GB suits streaming and documents. Choose 1TB or 2TB if you edit video, keep large app libraries, or want nano-texture glass and 16GB of memory.
