What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the 13-inch iPad Pro M5's OLED display, fast M5 chip and light, sturdy design, and find iPadOS 26 more capable for multitasking. It is a small update on the M4 model, and both found the tablet and its keyboard and accessories very expensive; Stuff also wanted longer battery life.
