The differences between the 12,9 ″ iPad Pro and the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro

iPad Pro

The new device in the iPad range has come home. We left the Air era behind to move on to the Pro era, a series of really powerful tablets. This range was born from the hand of the first 12,9-inch iPad Pro, but there are many who wanted to find an equally powerful device but in a moderate size, since part of the iPad users were faced with the impediment of the size and the power. Why not use this true masterpiece of technology in a standard size for tablets, 9,7 inches. That's what Apple thought and that's why has launched the iPad Pro of 9,7 ″, we will tell you the differences with its older brother of 12,9 ″.

Screen and camera differences

First we will differentiate the screen. We find that the screen of the 12,9 ″-inch iPad Pro has a resolution of 2.732 x 2.028, while the 9,7-inch iPad Pro has a resolution of 2.048 x 1536. It would seem a decrease but it really is not, since the iPad Pro 12,9 ″ has a condensation of 264 pixels per inch and the iPad Pro 9,7 ″ has it of the same 264 pixels per inch, so we find exactly the same resolution in one as in other.

The camera is a notable difference, and that is that the rear, better known as iSight of the 12,9 ″ iPad Pro has a capacity of 8 Mpx while that of the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro takes advantage of the technology of the iPhone 6s and comes with a 12 Mpx camera. As for the front camera, a quite remarkable change, since the 12,9 ″ iPad Pro has a FaceTime HD camera of just 1,2 Mpx, and the 9,7 iPad Pro now has a FaceTime camera 5 Mpx. Another of the most important aspects is that the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro has a double LED flash, unusual in iPads.

Weight, thickness and connectivity

The 12,9 ″ iPad Pro weighs no less than 713 grams, if this seems surprising more to you You will be surprised by the 437 grams that the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro weighs. In terms of thickness, 0,69mm is found in the 12,9 ″ iPad Pro, which becomes 0,61mm in the case of the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro.

Connectivity is an increasingly important aspect on tablets, and the iPad Pro has taken a leap here as well. And it is that we find 20 different bands in a classic LTE connection with transmission of up to 150 Mbps while in the 9,7 ″ iPad Pro we find 23 different bands in LTE Advance connection with a transmission of up to 300 Mbps.

    You don't say anything about the anti reflections and true tone? Along with the camera are the most notable differences. What a level ...

    1.    Miguel Hernández said

      An anti-reflective panel that already includes both the iPad Air 2 and almost the entire Macbook range.

      The TrueTone which is a software modification of the ambient light sensor that is also included from the iPad Air 2.

      I did not see fit to count as new technologies things that have been applied for more than three years.

      Regards my friend.

        It says that "the Tretone is a software modification of the ambient lus sensor" and it feels so comfortable! You actually blog about apple without having a clue what you're saying.

        1.    Miguel Hernández said

          Simply take advantage of the light sensor ALREADY INSTALLED for centuries and combine this technology with the NightShift to not only increase or decrease the brightness, but also change the tone to more blue or more yellow.

          I'm sorry that you don't know how it works and you think that they have installed a new technology or a new sensor. But it's not like that. In fact, you have accused without saying how it works.

          In short, it is a "function" that could be performed by any other iOS device, such as LivePhotos, but that Apple does not allow for software.

          Greetings.

    "So we find exactly the same resolution in one as in the other."

    2.732 x 2.028, and 2.048 x 1536 ARE NOT THE SAME RESOLUTION.
    Another thing is that it is the same density of pixels per inch PPI that are 264, but it is NOT the same resolution.

    1.    Miguel Hernández said

      Good afternoon friend Iñaki.

      Indeed, the resolution in numbers is not the same, but visually it is the same. Simply because they offer the same density so both panels look exactly the same to the eye.

      I give you an example. Is 500hp of power the same in a truck as in a Seat Ibiza? Well no.

      Kind regards.

    The second generation Touch ID included in the iPhone 6s much faster, has it included in the iPad pro 9,7? In the 12-inch it was not. Among the specifications does not appear is second generation.

    1.    Paul Aparicio said

      Hello Dani. They do not put it on their website, so it will happen as with the iPhone SE: if you do not put it, it is the first generation. In the specifications, that section is shared with that of the iPad Pro (it has the same).

      A greeting.

    And you have forgotten the main difference !!! The 9,7 only has 2GB of RAM !!! While the big 4 !!! Apple always the same, cutting as far as it can go the hardware to program the programmed insolence of its products !!! I am already a master of this ... The competition is already up to par and in some cases it is even higher !!! Next year Samsung will be on top!

      Hi Carlos. We heard this news yesterday afternoon, the article was already published. Will be updated.

      Thanks for the input.
