The 128GB storage tier gives you room for apps, media, and documents, and the all-day battery keeps you going from morning to night. Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G cellular keep you connected at speed.

Touch ID is built into the top button, and the 12MP front and rear cameras handle video calls and photo capture with Center Stage support. iPadOS brings Stage Manager for resizable overlapping apps, and the USB-C connector works with the latest accessories including Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.

Who This Is For
