Apple's new iPad Pros pack more screen into sleeker builds.

Last year's 10.5-inch iPad Pro has been upgraded with a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display. The larger model still has a 12.9-inch screen, but it's thinner and weighs less.

Apple slimmed down the bezels and killed the home button. Now, each iPad Pro uses a TrueDepth camera to unlock with Face ID, just like the iPhone XS, and are equipped with the new A12X Bionic Chip. They're pretty impressive — but should you buy one if you just bought an iPad last year?

Here's how the new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro stacks up against the previous generation.
