iPad Pro A12X Bionic 2018

Please be aware that this Wi-Fi Only version does not include cellular connectivity or A-GPS.

The iPad Pro 11-Inch (Wi-Fi Only) is equipped with a fully-laminated, antireflective 11" LED-backlit 2388x1668 "Liquid Retina" display (264 ppi, 600 nits). It is framed by a thin black bezel and housed in a slim case with rounded corners and flat sides, available in silver or "Space Gray." This model does not have a "Home" button.

This iPad Pro is driven by an eight-core 2.5 GHz Apple A12X Bionic processor, an "embedded M12 coprocessor," and a "Neural Engine" for machine learning and AR applications. It was offered with 64 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM, or with 1 TB of storage and 6 GB of RAM.

Key features include "Face ID" authentication, support for the new Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, US$129) which charges magnetically, and a new "Smart Keyboard Folio." It also has dual cameras (12 MP rear, 7 MP front) and a USB-C port, a first for the iPad series, which supports charging, connectivity to cameras and certain peripherals, and external displays up to 4K in dual display mode.

In addition to USB-C, it offers dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with HT80 with MIMO and Bluetooth 5.0. It also has four microphones and a four-speaker system.

The battery life is rated for up to 10 hours of "surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music."

Compared to its predecessor, this iPad Pro 11-Inch (Wi-Fi) model, along with its cellular-equipped siblings, features a larger display in a similar-sized body, a more powerful architecture, support for an improved Apple Pencil (incompatible with earlier models), and USB-C connectivity.

The first 11-inch iPad Pro, model A1980, was a revolutionary device that fundamentally changed perceptions of what a tablet could be. Its all-screen design with slim bezels and Face ID was a stunning modernization that made previous iPads look dated. The performance was a massive highlight; the A12X Bionic chip was incredibly powerful, often benchmarking faster than many laptops, which made it a genuinely capable machine for professional creative work. The switch to USB-C was a landmark moment, opening the door to a wider range of accessories and more efficient workflows. Furthermore, the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, with its intuitive magnetic charging and double-tap gesture, was a huge improvement for artists and note-takers. While some felt iPadOS limited the hardware's full potential, the 2018 iPad Pro was undeniably a glimpse into the future of personal computing—a powerful, beautiful, and versatile machine.
