I got my hands on the iPad Pro M5, but is it worth the upgrade?

It comes in two sizes and costs the same as the previous-generation iPad Pro - (David Phelan/The Independent)

Apple’s next iPad Pro is almost here, and at first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking nothing’s changed versus last year’s iPad Pro M4. The same thin, flat design. The same silver and space black finishes. Even the same price: £999 for the 11in model and £1,299 for the 13in. But under the surface, it’s had quite the overhaul.

This year’s iPad Pro runs on Apple’s new M5 chip, the same one powering the latest MacBook Pro and Apple Vision Pro headset. There’s faster memory, extra RAM and a new wireless chip with an Apple-designed modem. Basically, all the stuff you don’t see, but definitely feel once you start using it.
