New iPad Pro 2020 deals are finally starting to crop up this week, despite Apple’s brand new flagship tablet being barely over a month old. All the big retailers are currently vying for that cheapest price hotspot and we’re starting to see a shift in the iPad market overall, as last generation iPad Pros start to see their prices being slashed as well.
It’s a great time to be shopping around for an iPad Pro overall as not only do you have a shiny new model to consider, but you’ve also got some fantastic deals on older models. In this article, you’ll find the best IPad Pro 2020 prices available, a specs breakdown, and also a convenient comparison to the last generation – everything you need to know before you make your purchase.
Two brand new Apple iPad Pros for 2020 were launched in mid-March of this year replacing the capable, but venerable 2018 iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9. These new top of the line iPads contain some brand new features and tec, that we’ll briefly go over on this page. Most importantly however, we’ll be comparing them to the last-gen and asking ourselves the question – are these brand new tablets from Apple worth it?
Currently, you can order the all-new iPad Pro online at Apple.com in the US, UK, and Australia. If you’re not going to buy from the official Apple store then the good news is many retailers are now also beginning to stock these new devices. In the US, BestBuy and Adorama have launched them on their websites, and BHPhoto has even offered some tidy discounts, so definitely consider these options. In the UK, we’ve seen Currys, John Lewis and Amazon all offer the new tablets at launch prices currently, though stock remains an issue at Amazon. Note – Apple is only offering their orders directly from their websites right now, as their physical stores remain closed due to the ongoing coronavirus situation.

These iPads come with a selection of storage sizes (128, 256, 512GB, and 1TB) and in two colors (Silver, Space Gray). All variations and sizes feature the brand new Liquid retina display and A12Z Bionic chip – which the company claims is excellent for “editing 4K video or designing 3D models”.
If you go for the 11-inch screen, you’ll get yourself a 2388 x 1668 resolution, while the bigger 12.9-inch model has 2732 x 2048 standard. Both screen sizes offer 264 pixels per inch and a rapid 120HZ refresh rate, which should provide a smoother viewing experience when scrolling or watching over the normal 90HZ rate.
These iPads are also the first to feature two rear cameras and the new LiDAR Scanner – which aim to improve depth-sensing capabilities for portraiture and improved augmented reality app support. The cameras will also handle 4K – if you want to shoot footage directly from the iPad itself for ease of use.
Software-wise these new 2020 iPad Pros come with the latest iPadOS 13.4 and can, of course, be expected to be supported with the latest upgrades from Apple for many years to come. iPadOS 13.4 specifically comes with trackpad-like support, which Apple claims will enable more fluid switching between apps.
What about older Apple iPad Pro prices?
A new iPad launch is also great news if you’re looking for something a little older – specifically the last generation models, which are sure to have some nice little price drops to make way for the newer, shinier offerings.
When looking at iPad Pros, you should definitely consider the 2018 iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9. At their current price, you can hope to save around $50 / £50, depending on your country and which retailer you go for. These iPads are still great buys, despite being a little older, as they still retain top of the line specs and components under the hood.
