Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) and Apple iPad Pro 13 (2024) are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) is 8% cheaper at 263,760 DZD versus 288,000 DZD for the Apple iPad Pro 13 (2024), leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) packs a 10758 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Apple iPad Pro 13 (2024) posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
