What is iPad Pro? Its appeal and the benefits of choosing used

Click here for the iPad Pro 11-inch product page (released in 2018)

The iPad Pro is Apple's high-end tablet model, boasting particularly high performance and versatility. As its name suggests, "Pro," it is designed to meet a wide range of needs, from business use to creative tasks such as graphic design, video editing, music production, and even advanced learning. Compared to the general iPad series, it features a more powerful chip, a beautiful display, and high expandability through integration with dedicated accessories like Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio, which are major attractions.

While new iPad Pros are very expensive, choosing a used one allows you to acquire this high performance at an affordable price. For example, an iPad Pro, which often costs over 100,000 yen for the latest model, can be obtained for almost half price or even less by going back a generation or two. However, when it comes to used items, some may have concerns such as "Will the battery life be poor?", "Will it break down soon?", or "Will there be severe scratches or dirt?". Especially for cautious individuals who prioritize cost-effectiveness but don't want to compromise on quality, these anxieties can be a significant hurdle to purchasing.

Rest assured. At PRODIG, to alleviate the concerns our customers may have about used products, we implement thorough quality control and a comprehensive warranty system. Each used iPad Pro handled by PRODIG is meticulously inspected by specialized staff, checking not only its functionality but also its external condition in detail. We categorize products into clear ranks from S-rank (new, unopened items) to C-rank (items with noticeable scratches or paint peeling but no impact on function), allowing customers to choose the optimal device according to their budget and tolerance. Furthermore, to ensure peace of mind after purchase, we offer a warranty in case of unexpected malfunctions, so even those new to buying used items can consider a purchase with confidence. Choosing a used item is the best option for getting a high-performance iPad Pro smartly and affordably.

iPad Pro 1st Generation (9.7-inch/12.9-inch)

Click here for the iPad Pro 9.7-inch product page (released in 2016)

The first generation of iPad Pro, which marked the beginning of its history, was the 12.9-inch model introduced in 2015, followed by the 9.7-inch model in 2016. The major characteristic of this generation was its support for Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Smart Keyboard. This significantly improved creative tasks such as handwriting notes, drawing, and document creation, which were difficult with conventional iPads, and made it suitable for business use. The 12.9-inch model, in particular, excelled in multitasking, allowing multiple apps to be used simultaneously on its large screen, catering to professional use.

It was equipped with the "A9X" chip, which showed a significant performance improvement compared to the A8X chip in the iPad Air 2 of the time, with CPU performance about 1.8 times faster and GPU performance about 2 times faster. This allowed demanding apps and games to run smoothly, providing a comfortable user experience. The 9.7-inch model was the first to feature a True Tone display, which automatically adjusts the screen's color temperature to match the ambient light, resulting in a more natural display.

Currently, this model is relatively affordable in the used market and is a strong option for those who want to try the iPad Pro for the first time but want to keep their budget low. It performs comfortably enough for basic uses such as web browsing, video viewing, simple document creation, and handwriting notes with Apple Pencil. However, for the latest heavy apps or games that use a lot of 3D graphics, you might feel a lack of processing power. Consider your purpose and budget to choose the optimal device.

iPad Pro 2nd Generation (10.5-inch/12.9-inch)

Click here for the iPad Pro 10.5-inch product page (released in 2017)

The 2nd generation iPad Pro, released in 2017, was a model particularly notable for its display technology advancements. This generation introduced a new 10.5-inch model, which offered a larger screen than the previous 9.7-inch model while maintaining almost the same body size, making it a pioneer of the "narrow bezel design." This display was the first to feature "ProMotion technology," achieving a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This made drawing with the Apple Pencil smoother, and screen scrolling and animations became incredibly fluid, truly earning the description of "silky smooth." This ProMotion technology became a standard feature for subsequent iPad Pro models, significantly enhancing the comfort of professional work.

Equipped with the "A10X Fusion" chip, performance was further improved from the previous generation's A9X chip. This provided the processing power to handle more specialized tasks such as 4K video editing and complex graphic processing. Camera functions also evolved, featuring the same 12MP rear camera and 7MP FaceTime HD camera as the iPhone 7. The utilization of AR (augmented reality) applications also became a serious consideration.

In the used market, it's a very popular option for its cost-effectiveness, offering the significant benefit of ProMotion technology at an affordable price. It delivers sufficient performance for web browsing, video viewing, as well as creative tasks like illustration, photo editing, and presentation creation. If you're not particular about the latest model, this generation is likely to provide high satisfaction.

iPad Pro 3rd Generation (11-inch/12.9-inch)

Click here for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch product page (released in 2018)

The 3rd generation iPad Pro, released in 2018, marked a significant turning point in the history of the iPad Pro. The most notable aspect of this generation was the complete design overhaul. It adopted an "all-screen display design" with the home button removed and significantly thinner bezels. This allowed for a compact body while increasing the screen size from the traditional 10.5-inch to 11-inch, and the 12.9-inch model also became more compact. The authentication system also changed from Touch ID to "Face ID," enabling more intuitive and secure unlocking. Furthermore, a major highlight was the switch of the charging and data transfer port from Lightning to the versatile "USB-C," which facilitated easier output to external monitors and connection to various peripherals.

Equipped with the "A12X Bionic" chip, the same generation as the iPhone XS, it boasted a significant performance increase compared to the previous A10X Fusion chip: 35% in single-core performance and 90% in multi-core performance. This powerful processing capability allowed professional apps like Adobe Photoshop CC to run smoothly on the iPad Pro, delivering performance comparable to a desktop PC. The Apple Pencil also evolved to the 2nd generation, significantly improving convenience by magnetically attaching to the side of the device for wireless charging.

In the used market, this 3rd generation model offers a design and performance close to current models. Especially before the M1 chip models were introduced, it was positioned as the top-tier iPad Pro, and its performance is still perfectly viable today. For those who want to perform demanding creative tasks such as professional illustration, video editing, music production, or 3D modeling, but cannot afford the latest model, this generation is a very attractive option. PRODIG offers a wide selection of high-quality used iPad Pro models, so please consider them.

iPad Pro 4th Generation (11-inch/12.9-inch)

The 4th generation iPad Pro, released in 2020, followed the refined design of its predecessor while focusing on enhancing camera performance and AR (augmented reality) capabilities. The most significant feature of this generation was the inclusion of a "LiDAR Scanner" in the rear camera. The LiDAR Scanner uses light reflection to precisely measure distances, dramatically improving the accuracy of AR applications. This made the recognition of virtual objects placed in the real world more precise, and its application was anticipated in AR games, educational apps, and even in architecture and design fields. Furthermore, the addition of an "ultra-wide camera" alongside the wide-angle camera allowed for wider-angle shots, expanding the range of expression in photography and video recording.

Equipped with the "A12Z Bionic" chip, which further enhanced graphics performance based on the previous generation's A12X Bionic chip. This provides a very smooth and comfortable user experience, even with 4K video editing and multitasking with multiple apps. Support for Wi-Fi 6 also contributed to faster wireless communication and improved stability for downloading large files and online meetings.

In the used market, its price has become more affordable since the introduction of M1-chip models, making it easier to acquire. This model is particularly recommended for those interested in AR apps that utilize the LiDAR Scanner, or for those who are particular about photography and video recording. It also possesses sufficient processing power and functionality for professional creative tasks such as video editing and illustration. PRODIG offers a wide selection of these 4th generation iPad Pro models, all provided with assured quality.

iPad Pro 5th Generation (11-inch/12.9-inch)

Click here for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch product page (released in 2021)

The 5th generation iPad Pro, introduced in 2021, can be said to have revolutionized the iPad series. Its greatest advancement was the inclusion of Apple's self-developed high-performance "M1" chip. The M1 chip, also adopted in MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, brought overwhelming processing power to the iPad Pro, enabling it to deliver performance beyond the conventional tablet framework. CPU performance improved by up to 50% and GPU performance by up to 40% compared to the previous generation's A12Z Bionic, allowing even desktop-class applications to run comfortably. This made it possible to complete professional tasks such as 4K and 8K video editing, complex 3D rendering, and large-scale music production projects entirely on the iPad Pro.

Notably, the 12.9-inch model was equipped with a "Liquid Retina XDR display" featuring mini-LED technology. This achieved extremely high contrast ratios and a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits, providing a more vivid and realistic visual experience for HDR (High Dynamic Range) content. For photographers and video creators, color accuracy and brightness are extremely important, and this display precisely met professional demands. Furthermore, the inclusion of a Thunderbolt/USB 4 compatible USB-C port improved connection speeds with external storage and high-resolution monitors, further streamlining workflows.

In the used market, the availability of M1-chip equipped iPad Pros has significantly increased their "value for money." For those who wish to obtain performance comparable to the latest models at an affordable price, this 5th generation iPad Pro is truly a prime target. PRODIG offers a wide selection of M1-chip equipped iPad Pros, all available for purchase with our thorough inspection system and warranty, ensuring peace of mind.

iPad Pro 6th Generation (11-inch/12.9-inch)

*iPad Pro 12.9-inch (pictured), released in 2022

The 6th generation iPad Pro, announced in 2022, is a model that further enhanced processing power by featuring the "M2" chip, following the M1 chip. The M2 chip boasts up to 15% faster CPU performance and up to 35% faster GPU performance compared to the M1 chip, allowing for more advanced tasks and multitasking to be handled comfortably. Notably, it supports "ProRes video recording" for video editing, making it possible to shoot and edit higher quality footage directly on the iPad Pro. This is a highly attractive feature for professional video creators.

One notable new feature in this generation is the "Apple Pencil hover feature." The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) can now detect surfaces up to 12mm away from the display, enabling more intuitive and efficient operation, such as previewing tools before touching the screen or automatically expanding text fields. This improves the precision of illustration and design work and further streamlines creative workflows. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E, achieving faster and lower-latency wireless communication when paired with a compatible router.

The 6th generation iPad Pro is the optimal choice for users seeking cutting-edge features, such as the overwhelming performance of the M2 chip and the Apple Pencil hover feature. If you want to acquire a device with virtually the same user experience as the current model but at a significantly better value than a new one, a used 6th generation iPad Pro is very appealing. PRODIG performs thorough inspections and quality control, offering a wide selection of high-condition 6th generation iPad Pros, so please check our online store.

iPad Pro M4 Model (11-inch/13-inch)

*iPad Pro 13-inch (pictured), released in 2024

The latest iPad Pro, released in 2024, is drawing significant attention for its performance as the first model to feature Apple's latest "M4" chip. The M4 chip has evolved significantly from the previous generation's M2 chip, with its Neural Engine, responsible for AI processing, boasting about twice the speed of the M2 chip.

This enables various tasks, such as AI-driven image processing, video editing, and real-time translation, to be executed at unprecedented speeds. Furthermore, GPU performance has dramatically improved, with support for ray tracing, allowing for more realistic gaming experiences and 3D graphics rendering.

The display has also seen significant advancements. The newly developed "Ultra Retina XDR display," by layering two OLED panels, achieves brightness, contrast, and color accuracy that surpass previous Liquid Retina XDR displays.

Especially for HDR content, it provides an astonishingly vivid and realistic visual experience. The device's design has also become even thinner and lighter, making it the thinnest Apple product ever. This enhances portability, allowing you to take your iPad Pro anywhere to enjoy creative work and entertainment.

The M4 model is the pinnacle of the iPad Pro line-up at present, ideal for users seeking cutting-edge technology and the best performance.

Particularly for those who want to perform AI-related tasks on an iPad Pro or desire the ultimate display experience, this M4 model will be the top choice.

While it has just been released and the number of M4-equipped iPad Pros available in the used market is still small, PRODIG plans to start handling them in the future. If you want to get your hands on one early, be sure to regularly check the PRODIG online store for great deals.

iPad Pro (2025 Model / M5: 11-inch, 13-inch)

The 2025 model iPad Pro features the M5 chip, with overall improvements across AI processing, 3D rendering, and communication. Apple's official announcement states that AI performance is up to 3.5 times faster than M4, and up to 5.6 times faster than M1, significantly reducing "wait times" for short AI tasks such as summarization, captioning, and image generation in daily use.

Choosing the Right iPad Pro for You: Recommended Generations by Use Case

With so many generations of iPad Pro available, it can be quite challenging to choose the perfect one for you. However, by clarifying your main uses and budget, you can narrow down the optimal model. Here, we'll introduce how to choose an iPad Pro for specific uses from three perspectives: "want to save money," "creative work/business use," and "prioritize portability." Find the most efficient and satisfying iPad Pro that fits your lifestyle and work style.

 

Recommended Models for Those Who Want to Save Money

If you want an iPad Pro but are looking to save as much money as possible, a used iPad Pro from an older generation is recommended. Specifically, the iPad Pro 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation (models released between 2015 and 2018) are good targets. While these models may not match the performance of the latest M-chip models, they function perfectly well for everyday tasks such as web browsing, video streaming (YouTube, Netflix, etc.), e-book reading, simple document creation, email checking, and social media.

In particular, the ProMotion technology (up to 120Hz refresh rate) on the 2nd generation iPad Pro significantly contributes to a smoother screen experience, offering a comfort level you won't want to give up once you've tried it. With an Apple Pencil (you'll need to choose a model that supports either the 1st or 2nd generation), you can also enjoy taking handwritten notes and creating simple illustrations.

In the used market, these generations of iPad Pro can sometimes be found for tens of thousands of yen, often for about 1/3 to 1/4 the price of a new iPad Pro. PRODIG offers these generations of iPad Pro after thorough inspection and quality control. You can find a model that fits your budget by checking the battery condition and exterior grade. There's no need to compromise just because it's used. Why not get a high-quality iPad Pro that meets PRODIG's strict standards at a great price?

Recommended Models for Creative Work and Business Use

For those planning to use an iPad Pro for video editing, graphic design, 3D modeling, music production, or business scenarios that require running multiple apps simultaneously, a model with high processing power and ample memory is essential. For these uses, iPad Pro models equipped with the M1, M2, or M4 chip (5th generation and later) are highly recommended. These models leverage Apple's proprietary high-performance chips to deliver performance comparable to desktop PCs.

The 5th generation iPad Pro with the M1 chip can smoothly handle multi-track 4K video editing and layered editing of high-resolution image data. The 12.9-inch model's Liquid Retina XDR display, in particular, excels at displaying HDR content, which is useful for accurately checking colors in photos and videos. The 6th generation iPad Pro with the M2 chip offers even further improved performance over the M1 chip and supports ProRes video recording, making it ideal for those who want to do more professional video production on an iPad Pro. The latest M4 chip model has significantly enhanced AI performance, possessing the potential to support future AI-driven creative tools.

Used M-chip iPad Pros are a highly attractive option for cost-conscious creators and business professionals, as they offer performance sufficient for professional work at a significantly lower cost than new models. PRODIG offers a wide selection of these high-performance models, allowing you to find a device that confidently supports your creative work and business endeavors.

Recommended Models for Portability

For those who want to use their iPad Pro for work on the go or carry it around casually every day, the 11-inch model is highly recommended. The 11-inch iPad Pro is lighter and more compact than the 12.9-inch (or 13-inch) model, while still offering a sufficient screen size and high processing power. Its ease of handling stands out in various situations, such as working in a cafe, reviewing documents while commuting, or using it by your bedside at home.

In particular, 11-inch iPad Pros from the 3rd generation onwards feature an all-screen design, Face ID, and a USB-C port, making them extremely convenient to use. The ability to attach the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) to the side of the device means you can quickly jot down ideas or start sketching whenever inspiration strikes, which is another appealing feature.

For those who want professional performance but find heavy and large devices inconvenient, the 11-inch iPad Pro is the ideal choice. Various generations of 11-inch models are available in the used market, allowing you to choose one that balances your budget and performance needs. For example, an 11-inch 5th-generation model with the M1 chip offers performance comparable to the latest models, yet can be acquired at a significantly better price than new. PRODIG stocks a wide range of high-quality 11-inch iPad Pros, so please take a look. You're sure to find a device that makes your mobile work more comfortable.

Leave Your Used iPad Pro Purchase to PRODIG! Reasons for Peace of Mind and Services

"Used items are cheap and attractive, but I'm still anxious..." Many people probably feel this way. Especially when it comes to an expensive iPad Pro, concerns about post-purchase issues are common. However, at PRODIG, we have implemented thorough quality control and a comprehensive warranty and support system to ensure our customers can purchase used iPad Pros with confidence. We believe that "peace of mind" is paramount for used items, and we offer a variety of services to ensure our customers are satisfied.

 

Thorough Quality Control and Inspection System

One of the biggest reasons PRODIG can offer "peace of mind" to our customers is our thorough quality control and inspection system. Every iPad Pro handled by PRODIG undergoes a strict multi-point inspection by expert staff before it reaches the customer's hands.

Specific inspection items include:

• Operation Check
  We verify all basic operations, such as whether the power turns on, the screen display is normal, touch operations are smooth, and all buttons respond.

• Function Check
  We carefully check every function, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, cameras (front and rear), speakers, microphone, fingerprint authentication (Touch ID) or facial recognition (Face ID), charging port, and Apple Pencil connection, to ensure they are all working correctly.

• Battery Condition
  We check the maximum battery capacity and grade it according to our condition ranking standards.

• Appearance Check
  We visually inspect for scratches or cracks on the display, dents on the body, paint peeling, and other details, and determine the condition rank (S, A, B, C).

  • S Rank: New, unopened item.

  • A Rank: Very good condition. Very minor scratches or signs of use, but overall clean.

  • B Rank: Good condition. Visible scratches or small dents from general use, but no issues with operation.

  • C Rank: Good condition. Noticeable scratches or paint peeling, but no impact on functionality.

• Initialization/Data Erasure
  To protect customer privacy, we ensure all data is completely erased and the device is initialized to factory settings.

Only iPad Pros that clear these strict standards are listed on PRODIG's online store. Customers can check the condition rank and specific details of any scratches (sometimes with photos) on each product's detail page, minimizing the risk of receiving something "not as expected." While the anxiety about used items often stems from unseen aspects, PRODIG provides trust by thoroughly "visualizing" these "unseen aspects" for our customers.

Q: What are the differences between each generation of iPad Pro?

Please refer to the "Thorough Explanation of iPad Pro Generations: Evolution and Features" section of this article to compare details and find the performance that suits your needs.

Q: How is the battery life of the iPad Pro?

A: The battery life of an iPad Pro varies depending on the model generation, the chip installed, and usage conditions. Generally, it is said that about 10 hours of use is possible for web browsing and video playback. For used products, the maximum battery capacity may be reduced compared to new products, but PRODIG checks the battery condition during inspection and uses it as a reference for ranking. If you are concerned about battery consumption, it is a good idea to choose a relatively newer generation model or consider using a mobile battery.

Q: Where can I get my iPad Pro repaired?

A: iPad Pro repairs can be carried out at an Apple Store Genius Bar, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or a third-party repair shop.
