Does the 13" iPad Pro (M5) 256GB Wi-Fi support Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?

Yes — it supports Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard (both sold separately). Pairing and setup are quick during initial device setup.

What wireless standard does the Wi-Fi model use and how fast is it?

This model supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) using Apple’s N1 networking chip for higher local throughput and lower latency — to realize top speeds you’ll need a Wi-Fi 7-capable router.

Why choose the 256GB model vs higher capacities?

256GB balances price and storage for many creators and professionals who stream/edit and store moderate amounts of media. If you edit lots of ProRes/8K footage or keep massive libraries locally, consider 1TB/2TB SKUs which also enable higher internal performance tiers.
