Comparison: 9.7-inch iPad Pro VS 12.9-inch iPad Pro

Whether you choose the 12.9-inch model or the new 9.7-inch model, the iPad Pro is more capable, versatile, and portable than anything that’s come before, but still, there are many aspects you should know before choosing one among them.

Pricing & Capacity

Pricing is the very first thing all of us check out when comparing two similar gadgets with different memory capacities, the pricing is also different. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro 128GB (WiFi) costs around 61,900 INR and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 128GB (WiFi) costs 79,900 INR. Whereas their WiFi + Celular variants cost 73,900 INR and 91,900 INR respectively.

Camera Features of Both iPad Pro Models

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro has 12 Megapixels of iSight Camera and 5 Megapixels of FaceTime HD Camera, and the best thing is that both of these cameras come with flash.

Whereas the 12.9-inch iPad Pro has 8 Megapixels of iSight and 12 Megapixels of FaceTime HD camera without the flash feature.

However, both of these models contain many other essential camera features such as Autofocus, Face Detection, Burst Mode, Timer Mode, Photo Geotagging, Panorama, etc.

The Picture Quality of Panorama Feature

Both of these iPad Pro models have a Panorama feature with their iSight camera but have different picture qualities. The Panorama of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro can capture up to 43 Megapixels of pictures whereas due to the 12 Megapixel iSight camera of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, has the capacity to capture Panorama pictures of up to 63 Megapixels.

Video Recording Features

Both of these iPad Pro models have great video recording features but still to some extent Apple’s new iPad Pro 9.7-inch defeats iPad Pro 12.9-inch.

9.7-inch iPad Pro supports 4K HD video recording (3840 by 2160) whereas 12.9 iPad Pro supports only 1080p HD video recording. 9.7 inch iPad Pro offers slow-motion video support for 1080p at 120 fps and 720p at 240 fps whereas 12.9 iPad Pro gives slow-motion video support for 720p at 120 fps.

SIM Card Options

Both of these iPad Pro models have Nano-SIM card slots and both of them are compatible with Apple SIM. But still, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro has some plus points.

An Apple SIM comes installed on the 12.9‑inch iPad Pro only in a number of countries whereas the 9.7‑inch iPad Pro with an embedded Apple SIM is available all over the world. So it’s easy to purchase a mobile data plan directly on your iPad when you’re abroad with no long-term commitment.

Conclusion

With the above comparison, it’s undoubtedly all clear that the iPad Pro 9.7-inch is launched in a much-improved way with many extra features, that’s why it will be the right choice instead of Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

However, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is not a bad choice but after the launch of the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro with its improved features and lesser pricing, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro looks a bit faded it.

So, all I want to say is 9.7-inch iPad Pro will be the best choice among these two. Still, if the screen size is a bigger concern for you than other improved features and lower pricing, you may also go with a 12.9-inch iPad Pro as it’s also the ultimate option.
