The Apple iPad Pro (M5), announced October 15 and released October 22, 2025, is the eighth-generation iPad Pro. It keeps the thin tandem-OLED chassis introduced with the M4 but upgrades the internals: the new M5 chip, a higher 12GB base memory (up from 8GB on the M4), Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via Apple's new N1 wireless chip, the C1X cellular modem, and faster charging. It comes in two sizes — the 11-inch (2420 × 1668) and 13-inch (2752 × 2064) — in Silver and Space Black, and carries the Pro-tier hardware: Face ID, a LiDAR Scanner, and a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port. As on the M4, the silicon is tied to storage: 256GB and 512GB tiers get a 9-core CPU with 12GB RAM, while 1TB and 2TB get a 10-core CPU with 16GB RAM.

Identify your exact iPad Pro (M5)

Pick your screen size and connectivity, then confirm with the model number. Open Settings > General > About > Model Number and tap once to reveal the A-number, or read the small text on the back:

11-inch (M5)

  • Wi-Fi: A3357
  • Wi-Fi + Cellular: A3358 (China: A3359)
  • Ultra Retina XDR, 2420 × 1668

13-inch (M5)

  • Wi-Fi: A3360
  • Wi-Fi + Cellular: A3361 (China: A3362)
  • Ultra Retina XDR, 2752 × 2064

The M5 Pro looks identical to the M4 Pro (Apple even dropped the engraved "iPad Pro" logo from the back), so the A-number is the only sure tell between the two generations. Need help locating it? See our guide to finding your gadget's model.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the iPad Pro (M5), not the M4, and which size?
Open Settings > General > About and check Model Name — it should read "iPad Pro (11-inch, M5)" or "iPad Pro (13-inch, M5)." Tap the Model Number once to reveal the A-number: the 11-inch is A3357 (Wi-Fi) or A3358 (Cellular), and the 13-inch is A3360 (Wi-Fi) or A3361 (Cellular). This matters because the M5 Pro is physically identical to the 2024 M4 Pro — Apple even removed the engraved "iPad Pro" logo from the back of the M5 — so the A-number is the reliable way to tell them apart. The M5 Pro is eSIM only on cellular units. See our guide to finding your gadget's model for help.
02 Why does my storage size affect the chip and RAM?
On the M5 iPad Pro, the silicon is tied to storage. The 256GB and 512GB models use an M5 with a 9-core CPU and 12GB of RAM, while the 1TB and 2TB models use an M5 with a 10-core CPU and 16GB of RAM. (Note the M5's base RAM is 12GB, up from 8GB on the M4.) That makes the higher-capacity tiers genuinely more capable, not just roomier — which is why they also command stronger resale value. Selecting your exact storage above captures this automatically.
03 How do I wipe my iPad Pro before sending it in?
Back up to iCloud first, then go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content and Settings. This signs you out of iCloud, turns off Find My, and removes Activation Lock so the device is ready for its next owner. A tablet still locked to an Apple ID has no resale value, so don't skip this step. Our team also runs certified data sanitation on every incoming device — see our data erasure protocols page, and our guide to wiping an iPad before selling for step-by-step help.
04 Which configurations raise my iPad Pro (M5) trade-in value the most?
Three factors drive value: the 13-inch size carries more than the 11-inch, higher storage (1TB and 2TB — which also bring the full 10-core M5 and 16GB RAM) pays more than 256GB or 512GB, and Wi-Fi + Cellular fetches more than Wi-Fi-only. A 13-inch, 2TB, Cellular model in flawless condition — especially with the nano-texture glass option — sits at the very top of the range. As the current flagship iPad Pro, the M5 holds value strongly. For more on maximizing your payout, see our guide to selling a used iPad for maximum profit.

After you accept your offer, we email a free, fully insured shipping label. Once your iPad Pro arrives and our intake team finishes functional and cosmetic testing, payment is approved within two business days. We pay via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or ACH transfer, with a mailed paper check also available. Your offer stays valid for 30 days from checkout.
