The iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) was the model that turned the iPad Pro from a very good tablet into a genuine laptop alternative for a lot of people, and it still holds up strongly today. At its core is Apple's M1 chip—the same chip that powered a generation of MacBooks—giving it desktop-class performance for editing, multitasking, and creative work that most tablets simply can't match.
The 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is the standout feature: a mini-LED panel with true HDR contrast, 1000 nits of full-screen brightness (up to 1600 nits peak), and ProMotion's adaptive refresh rate for exceptionally smooth scrolling and Apple Pencil response. Whether you're editing photos, marking up documents, or watching HDR video, it's a genuinely different viewing experience from a standard tablet screen.
This Cellular model means you're not tied to Wi-Fi—with a SIM or eSIM setup, you've got a proper mobile workstation that goes wherever you do. 128GB of storage covers everyday productivity and creative work comfortably, and the Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C port means you can connect high-performance accessories, external displays, and fast storage directly, something few tablets in this class support.
Add Face ID for secure, hands-free unlocking, a 12MP wide and 10MP ultra-wide rear camera pairing with LiDAR for AR and detailed scanning, and support for the Apple Pencil (2nd gen) and Magic Keyboard, and you've got a tablet that's genuinely built for serious work, not just casual browsing.
Finished in Silver, this iPad Pro 12.9" is available now at Fone4U for €549.99—a strong price for a device that, thanks to the M1 chip, remains genuinely capable years after release.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely—it's running Apple's M1 chip, the same one that powered a whole generation of MacBooks, so it handles photo editing, video editing, and other demanding creative work with real desktop-class performance. Pair that with the Liquid Retina XDR display's HDR accuracy, and you've got something genuinely capable enough for professional creative work, not just casual browsing.
Yes, this one's the Wi-Fi + Cellular model, so you can pop in a SIM or set up eSIM and stay connected wherever you are, not just when there's Wi-Fi nearby. That makes it a proper portable workstation you can actually rely on, not one that's stuck the moment you leave the house.
It uses mini-LED technology to deliver true HDR contrast, up to 1000 nits of full-screen brightness (1600 nits at peak), and ProMotion's adaptive refresh rate for noticeably smoother scrolling and Apple Pencil response. It's a genuinely different viewing experience compared to the standard LCD screens on other iPad models.
Yes, it works with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, which just clicks onto the side magnetically to charge and pair, plus the Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio for a proper typing and trackpad setup. That combination is exactly what lets a lot of people use this iPad Pro as a genuine laptop replacement.
This particular one comes with 128GB storage, which easily handles everyday productivity, surfing, and even some form of creativity. However, if you are always handling big files such as those used in creating 4K videos, then you may need to have extra space.
It uses Face ID, so unlocking is completely hands-free—just glance at it and you're in. This has been the standard across the iPad Pro range from this generation onward.
Both — whichever's easier for you. We've got stores in Ballina, Sligo, and Bray if you'd rather see it in person before you buy, or you can order online and we'll ship it out to you with free shipping included, no extra cost either way.
We sell both at Fone4U, so it comes down to the specific listing—the condition of this particular device is noted on the product page. If you'd prefer a fully new, sealed unit, we stock that option too, and every refurbished iPad Pro we sell is fully tested and graded before it goes back on sale, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Yes, it's covered by an 18-month warranty, whether you go for a new or refurbished unit, so you've got solid peace of mind either way. That's well beyond the standard cover you'd typically expect, especially for a refurbished device.
A new iPad Pro is sealed and untouched, straight from Apple. A refurbished one has been previously owned, then fully tested, cleaned, and graded by us before resale, so it performs like new but usually comes in at a noticeably better price. Both are backed by our 18-month warranty, so the choice really just comes down to budget.
Yes, we run a trade-in service, so you can put the value of your old device towards this iPad Pro rather than paying full price. Just start a quick valuation online, or bring your old device into any of our three stores, and we'll take care of the rest.
It's available both ways—order online with free shipping straight to your door, or head into
Ballina,
Sligo, or
Bray to pick it up in person. Either way, you get the same price, the same 18-month warranty, and the same trade-in options.
