Running on iPadOS 26, the iPad Pro introduces a fresh interface with a dynamic Liquid Glass design, a new multitasking window system, and an upgraded Files app with better organization and customization tools.

Environmentally, Apple says the iPad Pro uses 30% recycled materials by weight, including 100% recycled aluminum, and is made with 55% renewable electricity across the supply chain.

The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 (Wi-Fi) and $1,199 (Wi-Fi + Cellular), while the 13-inch model starts at $1,299 and $1,499, respectively. Pre-orders are open now, with availability beginning Wednesday, October 22.
