"What do you get the tablet that has everything? Last year, Apple debuted a massive overhaul to the iPad Pro, with a thin new design, a gorgeous new screen, a bunch of updated accessories, and a speedy new chip. I called it the best iPad ever. I also wondered how it could even get much better. The answer, at least this year, is apparently it couldn't."
"Inside, there's more change to similar effect. The latest Pro has a new chip, the M5, and Apple swapped in its own networking chips - the C1X for cellular connection and the N1 for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and (theoretically) Threads. As you'd expect, everything's a little faster, and as you'd expect, none of it makes any practical difference in your day-to-day use of the iPad."
"And yet, after spending the better part of a week using a 13-inch iPad Pro, I'm more compelled by it than I expected to be. The biggest reason by far is not the new hardware but iPadOS 26, which finally imbues the iPad with some PC-like powers, from the free-form multitasking to the menu bar to the massively improved Files app."
Apple's latest iPad Pro keeps the prior redesign, offering 11- and 13-inch sizes with starting prices of $999 and $1,299 and two color options. The device receives an M5 processor and new Apple networking chips — C1X for cellular and N1 for Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and Threads — delivering modest performance gains that rarely affect everyday use. iPadOS 26 introduces PC-like capabilities such as free-form multitasking, a menu bar, and a significantly improved Files app. Some workflows remain easier on a Mac, and Liquid Glass is regarded as a misstep, but iPads are shifting toward Mac-like functionality.
