Apple iPad Pro 9.7-inch 256 GB Wi-Fi Gold, 2016 Model, New
The 2016 Model Apple iPad Pro 9.7-inch (256GB Wi-Fi Gold) in this listing is new, Wi-Fi only, and carries Apple part MLN12LL/A. With the largest storage tier on the 9.7-inch Pro, it suits creative training labs and showrooms that store large media locally, and the gold finish gives consumer resellers a configuration that photographs well and sells above the base colors.
Apple's 2016 9.7-inch iPad Pro was the first iPad with a True Tone display, adjusting white balance to the room through four-channel ambient light sensors, and the first with a 12 MP camera capable of 4K video. It runs the dual-core A9X with 2 GB of RAM, carries four speakers and Touch ID, supports the first Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard through the Smart Connector, and weighs 15.4 ounces. The 256 GB tier arrived at launch for this size.
Dealers take the gold 256 GB Wi-Fi unit from TG Wireless for creative training programs, showroom and hospitality displays, and consumer resale, where the top storage tier and the gold finish both add margin.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
As a Wi-Fi only 2016 iPad Pro, this listing has no cellular radio and no SIM slot, so lock state, VoLTE, and the US 2G and 3G retirements are not factors; see the network status line in the table. It connects over dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO and Bluetooth 4.2 for keyboards, the Apple Pencil, and point-of-sale peripherals. Software tops out at iPadOS 16, which most business and education apps still support.
Resale fit
- Creative and design training programs that need Pencil support with large storage.
- Showroom, hotel, and restaurant displays where a gold tablet matches the decor.
- Consumer resale channels that price the top storage tier and gold finish at a premium.
