For those looking to replace an older iPad, now is an excellent time to check out the deals on Amazon, where the most powerful Apple tablet is being offered at a record low price in both available sizes.
Currently, the 11-inch M5 iPad Pro is available for $899, and the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro is on sale for $1149. These prices are the lowest I have seen for these models.
The M5 processor was the headline upgrade from the M4 iPad Pro and Apple’s latest silicon shines no matter what you throw at it.
Designers, coders and content creators won’t see a hint of lag while they’re in the flow and thanks to the efficiency of the chip (and iPadOS 26 on board) the battery life is excellent. You can expect will over 13 hours of life from the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro and 11 hours from its smaller sibling.

The performance is one thing, but it’s the screen through which you view it that had us rocked back on our heels with amazement when we tested the M5 iPad Pro.
Super screen
As with the M4 iPad Pro, this remains Apple’s only OLED tablet. And what you get from the Ultra Retina XDR panel is incredible image quality with deep blacks and bright whites served up at a crisp 2,360 x 1,640 resolution and 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
With all this praise, is there anything to be wary about with the M5 iPad Pro? Kinda. We only docked it a point in our review for the expensive peripherals and accessories.
Which is a fair point — to get the best from this device you’re going to want to invest in a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil at the very least.
The good news is that with the money saved thanks to this deal, it’s much more affordable to do that than it was just three short months ago when Apple launched this tablet.
