iPad Pro screen protectors by generation

iPad Pro glass has fallen into a few long-lived families since 2018. Knowing which family yours is in saves buying the wrong size.

Short answer

iPad Pro glass comes in three families: 11-inch 2018–2022, 12.9-inch 2018–2022, and the OLED 11 and 13-inch M4/M5 models from 2024. Buy within your family. 12.9-inch glass doesn't fit the 13-inch OLED models.

11 and 13-inch, M4 and M52024–2025Thin OLED design, commonly shared across M4/M5

The 2018 redesign introduced Face ID and slim, even borders, and Apple kept that outline through 2022, so protector makers could sell one product per size for four generations. The 2024 M4 model was a full redesign: thinner, with OLED and different borders. The 13-inch OLED model is not the same size as the 12.9-inch.

Nano-texture models

If your M4 or M5 iPad Pro has nano-texture glass, skip the protector: a glossy layer defeats its anti-glare finish. More on the M4/M5 page.

Face ID in landscape

M4 and M5 models moved the front camera and Face ID to the long edge. Protectors cover them with no cut-out needed, the same as on older models' short edge.
