Apple’s 13-Inch M5 iPad Pro Drops to Lowest Price Ever at $1,149

Apple’s 13-Inch M5 iPad Pro Drops to Lowest Price Ever at $1,149

Apple’s latest flagship tablet just hit a new all-time low. The 13-inch M5 iPad Pro is now available for $1,149, down from its regular $1,299 price. That’s a $150 discount and the best deal we’ve seen since the device launched late last year.

This marks the lowest price yet for Apple’s most powerful iPad.

Why the M5 iPad Pro Is a Big Upgrade

Apple released the M5 iPad Pro in October, and it represents one of the biggest updates to the lineup in years. At the heart of the tablet is the M5 chip, built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology.

Key performance highlights include:

  • 10-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing
  • Dedicated AI hardware delivering up to 3.5× faster AI performance than M4
  • 12GB of RAM on base 256GB and 512GB models (up from previous generations)

These changes make the M5 iPad Pro far more capable for creative work, multitasking, and on-device AI features.

Ultra-Thin Design With a Stunning Display

Despite being just 5.1mm thin, the 13-inch iPad Pro still packs Apple’s Ultra Retina XDR display using tandem OLED technology. It delivers:

  • Up to 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness
  • Excellent contrast and color accuracy
  • A noticeably brighter and more consistent OLED experience

Even with its slim profile, Apple improved durability and internal layout.

Best Repairability Score Ever for an iPad

In a surprising win for longevity, an iFixit teardown awarded the M5 iPad Pro the highest repairability score ever for an iPad. The praise focused on:

  • More modular internal components
  • Better internal access
  • Improved repair documentation

That’s a rare highlight for a device this thin and powerful.

New Wireless Chip and Better Camera Placement

This generation also brings several practical upgrades:

  • Apple-designed wireless chip with support for Wi-Fi 7, offering faster speeds and lower latency
  • 12MP Ultra Wide front camera moved to the landscape edge, making Center Stage feel natural during video calls
  • Runs iPadOS 26 out of the box
  • Full support for Apple Pencil Pro
