Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ (Wi-Fi Only – 3rd Gen) 64, 256, 512 GB; 1 TB Specs

Note that this Wi-Fi Only model does not support cellular connectivity or A-GPS.

The iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (Wi-Fi Only – 3rd Gen) features a fully-laminated, antireflective 12.9″ LED-backlit 2732×2048 “Liquid Retina” display (264 ppi, 600 nits) surrounded by a thin black bezel and packed in a slim case with rounded corners and flat sides. The back is offered in either silver or a darker “Space Gray” color. Unlike earlier iPad models, this iPad has no “Home” button, either.

This iPad Pro is powered by an eight-core 2.5 GHz Apple A12X Bionic processor, an “embedded M12 coprocessor” and a “Neural Engine” for “machine learning in everything from photography to AR [augmented reality]”. It was offered with either 64 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage and 4 GB of RAM or 1 TB of flash storage and 6 GB of RAM.

Other notable features include “Face ID” authentication, support for a new Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, US$129) that charges via a clever magnetic connection on the side of the device and support for a new “Smart Keyboard Folio,” as well. It also has dual cameras (12 megapixel rear, 7 megapixel front) and a USB-C port. This is the first series of iPad models to provide USB-C and it supports charging and connectivity to cameras and some other peripherals as well as external displays up to 4K in dual display mode.

In addition to USB-C, other connectivity includes dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with HT80 with MIMO capability and Bluetooth 5.0. It has four microphones and a four speaker system, too.

The battery life of this iPad Pro model is reportedly 10 hours “surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music.”

Compared to its predecessor, the iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (Wi-Fi – 3rd Gen) — and its cellular-equipped siblings — are roughly the same physical size, but have a larger display (made possible by the removal of the Home button and smaller bezels), as well as a more powerful and advanced architecture, support for an improved Apple Pencil (which is not compatible with earlier models), and USB-C support.
