iPad Pro 12.9" 1st Gen 2015 vs iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd Gen 2017

The 1st generation 12.9” iPad Pro was introduced in 2015 and the 2nd generation model was introduced two years later, in 2017. Overall, these two models share the same exterior look and were available in Silver, Space Gray, and Rose Gold. Both iPads have a physical home button with a Touch ID fingerprint reader for security. Under the hood though, there are several key improvements on the 2nd generation such as Apple’s A10X Fusion chip, a 120 Hz high refresh rate display with ProMotion and True Tone, and internal storage doubling to a max of 512GB. The cameras were also upgraded, going from an 8MP to a 12MP camera on the back, and from a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera to a 7MP FaceTime HD camera on the front. Otherwise, the 2nd gen 12.9” iPad Pro features support for the 1st gen Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard.
