M5 iPad Pro After Five Days: Worth the Upgrade from M4?

After using the M4 model for a year, I upgraded to the new M5 iPad Pro, which arrived last week. Here are my early impressions.

For 18 months, my primary computer has been the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro, which featured significant upgrades, including a new chip, OLED display, and ultra-thin design.

The M5 iPad Pro builds upon this foundation, retaining the best features of the M4 while making key improvements. The new model offers seven upgrades over the M4.

While the M5 iPad Pro appears nearly identical to its predecessor, with the only visible difference being the missing 'iPad Pro' text on the back, there are notable internal changes. Whether these changes make a difference depends on individual needs.

Apple packed a ton of upgrades into its M4 model, from the chip, to a gorgeous tandem OLED display, ultra-thin new design, and more.

Author's summary: Upgrading from M4 to M5 iPad Pro offers notable improvements.
