The second generation ofiPad Pro is a line ofiPadtablet computers developed and marketed byApple Inc. The iPads, with 12.9 inch and 10.5 inch screens, were both announced on June 5, 2017. Both models are compatible with the first generation ofApple Pencil. Like thefirst generation, a larger size and stylus compatibility were a point of difference from the rest of Apple's available iPads.
Upgrades from the first-generation iPad Pro include the more powerfulA10X Fusion chip, storage capacity up to 512 GB and the larger display of the 10.5 inch model (upgraded from a 9.7 inch model) while the 12.9 inch model was refreshed.[5] Following the 2017 announcement, the first-generation models were discontinued.
The 12.9 inch version was discontinued on October 30, 2018, after the announcement of the3rd-generation iPad Pro. However, the 10.5 inch version continued in production along with the 11 inch version until March 18, 2019, when theiPad Air (3rd generation) was announced.
Both second generation iPad Pro models supported eight versions of iOS/iPadOS, being iOS 10 through iPadOS 17. At WWDC 2024, it was announced that they would not supportiPadOS 18 despite having superior hardware to some models supporting the new update.[6]
The second-generation iPad Pro was announced on June 5, 2017, alongsideiOS 11 atWWDC2017. The two models, the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch, have an upgradedA10X SoC which features a 6-core CPU with a 12-core GPU, Apple's ProMotion display technology which supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision content (with iOS 11 or later) with a 120 Hz refresh rate and their True Tone display is 50 percent brighter than the earlier models; both sizes also have a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with quad-LED True-Tone flash and a 7-megapixel front-facing camera with Retina Flash.[5] They haveUSB 3.0 connection speeds usingLightning cables, withUSB-C fast-charge support.[7] The second-generation iPad Pro has storage capacities up to 512 GB.[8] The second-generation iPad Pro is the final model to include a home button withTouch ID, with the third-generation model replacing it with gestures for navigation andFace ID replacing Touch ID for authentication purposes.
Max Parker fromTrustedReviews and Gareth Beavis fromTechRadar both praised the 10.5-inch model's high-quality audio and performance, but did note that it was expensive.[9][10]
Reviewing the 12.9 inch second-generation iPad Pro, Lauren Goode ofThe Verge complimented the high quality camera, A10X processor and large screen size, but argued that the device could have been cheaper.[11]
Reports indicate that the display of the 12.9 inch second-generation iPad Pro has a high propensity of experiencing a "backlight bleed" failure, manifested as brighter halos of light bleeding through one edge of the screen.[12]
The 2nd generation iPad Pro and The 3rd generation iPad Air models can develop a glowing white spot on the display which is located above the home button. This is a problem caused by the display cable underneath pushing against the back of the display, creating a pressure point.[13][14]
