iPad Pro 12.9" 1st Gen 2015 vs iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen 2021

The differences between the 2015 12.9” iPad Pro and the 2021 12.9” iPad Pro are readily apparent in visuals and hardware specifications. The 5th gen iPad Pro has a 12.9” Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology and True Tone, and Apple uses Face ID for device security, rather than Touch ID with a physical home button as found on the 1st generation 12.9” iPad Pro. The 5th gen 12.9” iPad Pro is powered by Apple’s M1 chip with next-generation Neural Engine. It comes with up to 2TB of storage space, a 12MP wide and 10MP ultrawide camera array on the back, and a 12MP TrueDepth ultrawide camera on the front with Center Stage. Other features include a USB-C power with support for Thunderbolt / USB 4, 5G connectivity on the cellular model, and support for the 2nd gen Apple Pencil, Apple Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard Folio.
