Background Information

The 2022 12.9" iPad Pro is Apple's iPad that directly replaces the 2021 model and launched alongside the new 10th generation iPad.

While the device shares many of the specs of the previous generation 12.9" iPad Pro, there are some noticeable improvements, the most noteworthy being the inclusion of the new M2 Processor. The Second Generation Apple Pencil is compatible with this device and has a new Hover feature. This allows the iPad to recognize the Apple Pencil without surface contact.

The 6th gen 2.91" iPad Pro comes in two colors, Space Gray and Silver, and is available with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, or 2 TB of internal storage. Naturally, there are two connectivity options: a Wi-Fi-only model and a Wi-Fi with Cellular.

The 6th generation 12.9" iPad Pro starts at $1099.
