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

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 iPad Pro 9.7-inch is launched in 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, 12.9-inch iPad Pro is not a bad choice but after the launch of the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro with it’s improved features and lesser pricing, 12.9-inch iPad Pro looks a bit faded among 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 less pricing, you may also go with 12.9-inch iPad Pro as it’s also the ultimate option.
