Maxed Out M1 12.9-Inch iPad Pro With 5G, 16GB RAM, and 2TB Storage Costs $2,400

Apple today unveiled new iPad Pro models that look remarkably similar to existing ‌iPad Pro‌ options, but which have an M1 chip, much like Apple's Mac lineup.

The 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ model starts at $799, while the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ model is much more expensive due to its mini-LED display, starting at $1,099.

Both models come with up to 2TB storage and have higher RAM amounts at higher storage tiers, which can drive costs up.

A cellular 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ with 5G connectivity and the 2TB storage option costs a total of $2,399, which is actually more expensive than the highest-tier ‌M1‌ MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with all available upgrades.

The maxed out 11-inch cellular model will run you $2,099, which is just about as expensive as the maxed out ‌M1‌ MacBook Pro. Neither of those price points includes an Apple Pencil or a Magic Keyboard, both of which can be purchased separately.

Apple's new ‌iPad Pro‌ models will be available for order on April 30 and will ship out in May.

The people who need to max this out will know exactly who they are, and they probably won't be paying for it themselves.

Only to end up using iOS apps which are mostly optimized for the low end entry model iPad anyway, something doesn’t add up ... ?

They are really going to have to overhaul iPadOS for this thing. I thought for a few seconds they were going to show it dual boot Big Sur when connected to the magic keyboard.
