Apple’s new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is great but not worth the upgrade

When Apple released its iPad Pro last year, it came with a ton of new and worthwhile upgrades: dual cameras, a LiDAR scanner, trackpad support with iPadOS, and a new chipset. But the same can’t be said for this year’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro. 

The latest iteration of Apple’s workhorse tablet only brings along its M1 chip, a mini-LED display, and an upgraded front-facing camera with a new feature for video calls.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021)
$1,099 (starting)
The Good

Heavier than previous model • Pricey • Lack of Portrait mode on rear cameras

The Bottom Line

The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is proof that Apple can deliver yet another powerful tablet. But its incremental updates aren’t worth the upgrade.
