It is important to know that this A2764 iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (6th Gen), sold in the United States, is compatible with 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n70, n71, n77, n78, and n79, as well as 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. It is designed to operate with carriers worldwide.


The iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (Wi-Fi/Cellular United States - 6th Gen) has a fully-laminated, antireflective 12.9" mini-LED backlit 2732x2048 "Liquid Retina XDR" display (2D backlighting system, 264 ppi, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio). It is framed by a thin black bezel and housed in a slim case with rounded corners and flat sides, available in either silver or "Space Gray."


This iPad Pro is powered by a 3.49 GHz Apple M2 processor with 8 cores (4 performance, 4 efficiency), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Models with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage have 8 GB of RAM, while 1 TB or 2 TB models have 16 GB. It also features a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port.


Like their predecessors, the iPad Pro 12.9" (6th Gen) models support LiDAR, external keyboards and trackpads, and the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, US$129), which now adds a "Hover" feature. The front 12-megapixel "TrueDepth" camera supports "Center Stage" and "Face ID," while the dual rear camera has 12-megapixel wide and 10-megapixel ultra-wide lenses.


Connectivity includes 5G, Thunderbolt / USB 4, dual-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) with 2x2 MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.3. It has five microphones and a four-speaker system. Battery life is rated at 10 hours for Wi-Fi web surfing or video, and 9 hours on cellular data. It has both eSIM support and a nano-SIM slot.


Compared to its predecessor, this iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (6th Gen) model and its siblings maintain the same physical size, display, and cameras but offer a faster processor, faster Wi-Fi, more advanced Bluetooth, ProRes video capture, and the new Apple Pencil "Hover" feature.

Evaluation

The A2764 model of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, sold in the US, was the pinnacle of tablet technology, blending immense power with cutting-edge connectivity. The new M2 chip delivered a significant performance boost, making an already incredibly fast device even more capable for professional workflows. The standout new feature was the Apple Pencil Hover capability, offering a new level of precision that was highly praised by digital artists. A key differentiator for this US model was its support for both sub-6GHz and the ultra-fast mmWave 5G, providing the best possible cellular speeds. The device also gained faster Wi-Fi 6E. While the design and stunning mini-LED display were unchanged from the previous generation, this model represented the most powerful and versatile tablet on the market for American consumers who demanded top-tier performance both in the office and on the go.
