Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each iPad family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) to the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)?
A new iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) 256GB Wi-Fi costs £1,499 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) at the best local quote, it costs £1,329 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: UPGRADE.
Your iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) does not get iPadOS 27. Upgrading makes sense.
- Your iPad does not get iPadOS 27. Apple usually sends security fixes to the previous version for a while, but new features and app support will move on without it.
- It is 8 years old. Apps and iPadOS features increasingly assume newer hardware.
What the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) adds
- The M5 chip, newer than your A12X.
- Apple Intelligence, which your iPad cannot run.
- Apple Pencil Pro support, which your iPad does not have.
Your own result depends on storage, Wi-Fi or Cellular, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your iPad.
