Verdict

The 2018 Apple iPad Pro 11-inch Cellular model (1st Gen) is a high-performance tablet featuring the A12X Bionic chip with an 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU. This specific 1TB storage configuration is unique for its era as it includes 6GB of RAM, whereas lower storage tiers only offered 4GB. It boasts an 11-inch Liquid Retina IPS display with a 2388 x 1668 resolution, 120Hz ProMotion technology, and 600 nits brightness. Key strengths include its ultra-slim 5.9mm design, the transition to a versatile USB-C port, Face ID integration, and Gigabit-class LTE connectivity. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, the absence of expandable storage, and a rear camera that protrudes, causing the device to wobble on flat surfaces.
