Fire HD 10 (2025)
iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (2022)

Verdict: The iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (2022) outclasses the Fire HD 10 (2025) in every core metric—its M2 processor (13,600 Geekbench points per Geekbench), 1,000 nits XDR display (per Apple), and five‑year software support (per Apple) make it a clear winner for demanding tasks. The Fire HD remains a solid, budget‑friendly option for casual media consumption, but its limited RAM, modest CPU, and plastic build restrict its longevity. For creators or power users, the iPad Pro’s performance and ecosystem advantages outweigh its higher price.

Winner: iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (2022)

Fire HD 10 (2025): 6/10
