r/iPadPro on Reddit: Is it worth upgrading from the 2021 ipad pro 12.9 5th gen to the new ipad pro 13?
March 8, 2025 -

Hi, in 2021 of december I got the 12.9 inch ipad pro, it's done it's job well, but I'm thinking of upgrading this month, it still works fine, minus being bent. So, should I purchase a new ipad? I realize it hasn't been years since I got the first, but I'd like to have a new one, is it a worthy investment if I have the money?

November 17, 2021 - I enjoy the great screen, the sound, and the size. I had a 2017 12.9 Ipad Pro. The bottom of the screen was spotlighted horrendously. I traded it for the 2021 12.9 Ipad Pro 256GB. Update: I am now seeing a black dot/smudge on the lower left hand side in the Landscape Position.

PERFORMANCE The third-generation 11-inch iPad Pro runs on Apple's proprietary M1 chip, an eight-core CPU with an additional 8-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine. This chipset is also used in modern MacBooks, and represents a new design introduced in 2020 with a larger die size and more memory bandwidth. That gives Apple fans and new users alike a lot to love about the iPad Pro 11 3rd generation with all its modern features for image, video, and more!

Should I buy an iPad Pro 2021 with an M1 chip, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB version? - Quora
Answer (1 of 2): 128GB at best. Why? Simply because, despite Apple’s bold claims, this is still an iPad. It doesn’t have good peripheral, or mouse/keyboard support, doesn’t allow access to the File System, doesn’t allow you to install apps of your choice.
