Overview

The 13-inch iPad Pro (M5) Wi-Fi + Cellular in Space Black pairs 1TB of storage with the 10-core M5 CPU, 16GB of unified memory and nano-texture display glass. Its tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display reaches 1600 nits peak for HDR content. The Apple C1X modem delivers 5G (sub-6 GHz) and Gigabit LTE over eSIM. Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt / USB 4 are built in. This is the US configuration, part number ME8G4LL/A. It suits creative professionals and mobile teams who need a full-size pro tablet that stays connected away from Wi-Fi.

The 13-inch iPad Pro (M5) Wi-Fi + Cellular, Apple part number ME8G4LL/A, is the US-market 1TB configuration in Space Black with nano-texture display glass. Apple offers nano-texture glass only on the 1TB and 2TB models. It is built for people who edit video, design, draw or run AI-assisted workflows in the field, and who need a large, accurate screen that stays readable in bright light.

The 1TB and 2TB models get the fuller version of the M5 chip: • A 10-core CPU with 4 super cores and 6 efficiency cores • A 10-core GPU with Neural Accelerators and hardware-accelerated ray tracing • A 16-core Neural Engine • 16GB of unified memory with 153GB/s of memory bandwidth

The Media Engine accelerates H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW and decodes AV1. The rear camera records ProRes up to 4K at 30 fps.

The Ultra Retina XDR display uses tandem OLED at 2752 by 2064 pixels and 264 ppi. It offers: • ProMotion from 10Hz to 120Hz • 1000 nits full-screen and 1600 nits peak HDR brightness • A 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio • Support for Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), including hover

For connectivity, the Apple C1X modem provides 5G (sub-6 GHz) and Gigabit LTE, each with 4x4 MIMO. The tablet uses eSIM only and does not accept physical SIM cards. The Apple N1 chip adds Wi-Fi 7 with 2x2 MIMO, Bluetooth 6 and Thread.

The Thunderbolt / USB 4 port runs at up to 40Gb/s and supports one external display up to 6K at 60Hz or 5K at 120Hz. The built-in 38.99-watt-hour battery is rated for up to 9 hours of web use over cellular. The enclosure is 5.1 mm thin and weighs 582 grams.

Ideal for

  • Field video editing and ProRes review on location, with 5G upload of finished cuts
  • Design, illustration and markup with Apple Pencil Pro on a glare-reducing nano-texture display
  • Mobile executive and sales work with Magic Keyboard, Wi-Fi 7 and always-on cellular data
  • Site surveys and inspections using the LiDAR Scanner, 12MP camera and GPS/GNSS
  • On-device AI workflows such as generative imagery and LLM-based apps using M5 Neural Accelerators
