Just when you thought it was safe to unlock your wallet, Apple releases a bunch of new iPads. Fresh out of Apple’s iPad farm are the new iPad Pro and new basic iPad, and while the iPad is one of the best tablets around, it’s the iPad Pro you should look to if you want the very best tablet experience Apple has to offer. Armed with Apple’s M2 laptop-level processor, the iPad Pro is available in 11-inch and 12-inch variants and comes with Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard support. When using iPadOS as well, the iPad Pro is a productivity machine to be respected, and it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a work tablet.

The new iPad Pro range has just been announced, so it’s not quite ready for shelves yet. However, it is up for preorder, and buying one now through preorder is the best way to make sure you get yours on release day, October 26. Here are the best current preorder deals for the iPad Pro, including all the great preorder bonuses, gifts, and trade-in discounts.

Preordering from Apple

Apple is a strong one-stop shop for your new iPad Pro. Apple’s system will walk you through the entire process, starting at your model size, and moving through color, storage options (including that enormous 2TB option), and connection modes, and even offering up the Apple Pencil and keyboard accessories to add directly to your order. Try not to go overboard, as tempting as it is.

Trade-in options are solid. Apple is offering up to $500 off in trade-in credit, and while the monthly payment charges are high, that’s because it’s only spread over 12 months.

<strong>Apple iPad Pro 11</strong> — starts from $799, or $66.58 a month for 12 months.

<strong>Apple iPad Pro 12.9</strong>  — starts from $1,099, or $91.58 a month for 12 months.

That’s all for now

Try as we might, we haven’t been able to find anywhere else offering the new iPad Pro on preorder. So, if you’re looking for a preorder, Apple is currently your only option. We’ll keep an eye on this, of course, but it’s possible we won’t see any further additions to sales until the iPad Pro releases on October 26.

Apple’s Fall launch event was pretty stacked, as the company delivered an ultra-slim iPhone, improved flagship earbuds, and a trio of smartwatches. Now, it seems the company is focused on unveiling its next wave of computing gear, and they could be revealed next week.  

What’s on the horizon?

What's happened? Apple today lifted the covers off the next-gen M5 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models, both featuring its latest M5 chip.

The 2025 iPad Pro is available in 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes, with both models packing Apple's Ultra Retina XDR displays.

iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro.

Apple is shifting into the next phase of computing with the launch of new machines powered by the M5 chip. In a single batch, the company revealed three “new” machines equipped with its next-gen processor – a refreshed iPad Pro in two sizes, a 14-inch MacBook Pro, and a second-generation Vision Pro headset.

The term “new” is a tad subjective here. All these machines look exactly like their respective predecessors. Additionally, the focus on AI enhancements somewhat took away from their standalone merits. What caught my attention was that these new devices don't try to make a huge splash with head-turning changes.
