If you need a powerful tablet that can step into your laptop’s footsteps when necessary, an iPad Pro is your go-to. It features a 9.7-inch Retina display, WiFi connectivity, and all the usual Apple apps you already know and love. It runs on an A9X processor, which is no M1 chip, but should still power up your everyday tasks just fine. There’s a 1.2MP front-facing camera and a 12MP rear camera on board, which can capture 4K videos at 30 fps and live photos, but is otherwise unremarkable. If FaceTime calls and snapping quick pics and videos on the go is what you’re after, it can get the job done.
As a WiFi-only model, you can only browse the web and stream videos with an internet connection (no data). But if you don’t want to purchase a separate data plan, that’s kind of a win. You can also connect to a hotspot if there’s no WiFi available, anyway.
Six years may seem old, but it’s not obsolete yet in Apple’s eyes. That means it’s still eligible for hardware service and parts, which can offer some peace of mind to the skeptics. Plus, it’s capable of upgrading to the latest iOS.
For a limited time, you can save hundreds by opting for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro from 2016(opens in a new tab) rather than purchasing a brand-new device. Your carbon footprint will thank you.
