The iPad Pro is a series of tablet computers, positioned as the premium line of Apple's iPad brand. Models run iPadOS, a tablet-optimized fork of the iOS operating system. Early models were distinguished from other iPads by their ability to use the Apple Pencil stylus and their larger screen size. As other iPads have gained these features over time, the latest eighth-generation iPad Pro is notable among other features for its powerful processor (the M5) and being the thinnest Apple product ever released.
The original iPad Pro was introduced in September 2015 and ran iOS 9. It had an A9X chip, and came in two sizes: 9.7-inch (250 mm) and 12.9-inch (330 mm); the 9.7-inch (250 mm) came out in March 2016. The second-generation iPad Pro was unveiled during the June 2017 WWDC event. It came with an upgraded A10X Fusion processor and superseded the 9.7-inch (250 mm) model with a 10.5-inch (270 mm) model. The third-generation iPad Pro was announced in October 2018 with a new screen design. As a part of the redesign, the home button was removed in favor of Face ID. It comes in 11-inch (280 mm) and 12.9-inch (330 mm) models.
The fourth-generation iPad Pro, introduced in March 2020, includes the A12Z chip, and was introduced alongside the Magic Keyboard for iPad. The fifth-generation iPad Pro, announced in April 2021, incorporated Apple's M1 processor, making it the first iPad model to not use an A-series processor. The sixth-generation iPad Pro was introduced in October 2022 alongside the 10th-generation iPad. It includes the M2 processor, Apple Pencil Hover, and ProRes video. The seventh-generation iPad Pro was introduced in May 2024 alongside the sixth-generation iPad Air, launching with the M4 processor, Apple Pencil Pro, a new Magic Keyboard with function keys and is the first iPad with an OLED display. The 12.9-inch (330 mm) model was replaced with a 13-inch (330 mm) model while keeping the 11-inch (280 mm) model; they would both be the same screen sizes used by every subsequent model to date.
The current eighth-generation iPad Pro was announced in October 2025 and added the M5 processor, being the first product to use the new chip alongside the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the second-generation Apple Vision Pro.
