The 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2021) is a powerhouse of a tablet, equipped with the same M1 chip that is found in the latest Macs. It also includes a Liquid Retina XDR display with mini LED's, optional 5G connectivity, and a Thunderbolt port. However, to complete the iPad Pro experience, a good keyboard case is a must. If you own a prior version of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, your current keyboard case may not fit the new model precisely, as the 2021 version is 0.5mm thicker.
