The iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) is Apple’s top tablet of 2025. It is 5.1 mm thick and the Wi-Fi version weighs 579 g.

Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M4, Wi-Fi)

The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) is Apple’s first iPad Pro with an Ultra Retina XDR display that stacks two OLED layers, released in May 2024. At 5.1 mm thick and 579 g it offers 10–120 Hz ProMotion, 1,000 nits SDR and 1,600 nits peak HDR brightness, the M4 chip, a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port, a landscape 12MP front camera and four speakers. Independent testing found very good colour accuracy and HDR brightness close to Apple’s figure, with a warning that the display dims using 240 Hz PWM, which may affect light-sensitive users. Owners praise the screen, light weight and speed; the most common criticisms are price and iPadOS limits.
