What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The iPad Pro is Apple's high-end tablet, built around the M5 chip and a bright, sharp display, and it runs iPadOS 26. It is a general-purpose tablet, and what makes it useful as assistive technology is the access features built into iPadOS: tools that change how the screen looks, how you control the device, and how it speaks or listens. The tablet also works with a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro, which are sold separately. You get a full computer-style device, but you'll need to turn on and tune the settings that fit the person using it.
