A Giant Leap in AI & Efficiency
The 2025 iPad Pro 11 is built for the era of Apple Intelligence. The M5 chip introduces a dedicated Neural Accelerator in each GPU core, making it a beast for on-device diffusion models and real-time AI video masking in apps like DaVinci Resolve.
Despite being just **5.3mm thin**, Apple has improved the internal thermal architecture, allowing the M5 to maintain peak performance longer. For those working in bright environments, the 1TB and 2TB models offer a Nano-texture glass option to virtually eliminate glare.

The iPad Pro 11 is sleek, super fast with the M5 chip, and its OLED display looks amazing. It’s expensive, but if you want a tablet that feels like a laptop replacement, this one really delivers.
I’ve been using the new iPad Pro 11 for a bit, and honestly, it feels like Apple has taken something already great and just made it faster. The M5 chip is a beast — apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and even heavy creative work or gaming doesn’t slow it down. The OLED Ultra Retina XDR display is gorgeous, with colors that pop and deep blacks that make movies and design work look stunning. Battery life is solid, lasting me through a full day of mixed use.
