Comparisons With Other Models
How this model differs from the competition.
The iPad 6 is newer and cheaper, but the Pro 9.7 is superior: laminated True Tone display, 4 speakers, and a flash for the camera. Processors (A9X vs A10) are quite comparable. Choose the Pro if you want a better display and audio.
| Feature | iPad Pro 9.7" 1st Gen (2016) | iPad 6 (2018) |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Laminated True Tone | Air-gapped standard |
| Audio | 4 speakers | 2 speakers |
The Pro 10.5 is a big step up - 120Hz display, larger body, and A10X Fusion chip. If your budget allows, the 10.5 is better, but the 9.7 is a great budget option.
