With the new iPad Pro, Apple redefines portability and performance with a stunningly thin and light design. In silver or space black finishes, the new iPad Pro comes in two sizes: a 13-inch model and a super-portable 11-inch model. In fact, the 11-inch model is 5.3 mm thin, and the 13-inch model is even thinner at 5.1 mm. There are two gorgeous finishes available for the new iPad Pro – silver and space black – both made with 100 percent recycled aluminum.
This new iPad Pro introduces the world’s most advanced display, the Ultra Retina XDR, for a truly stunning visual experience. Using state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology, the Ultra Retina XDR display combines the light from two OLED panels to provide outstanding full-screen brightness. With the new iPad Pro, you can enjoy full-screen brightness up to 1000 nits for SDR and HDR content, and up to 1600 nits for HDR content at its peak.
Apple M4:
Apple’s new M4 chip makes possible the new iPad Pro, which delivers a huge leap in performance and capabilities. In order to achieve the thin, light design and game-changing display of the new iPad Pro, Apple needed to use M4, its next generation of silicon that delivers a huge leap in performance. Designed for the new iPad Pro, M4 is built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology, which is even more power efficient. The Ultra Retina XDR display features an entirely new display engine for stunning precision, color, and brightness.
With four cores of performance and six cores of efficiency, the new CPU is up to 1.5x faster than the previous-generation iPad Pro’s M2. Unlike M3, M4 features a 10-core GPU that features Dynamic Caching, mesh shading, and ray tracing, which are now available on iPad for the first time. With higher unified memory bandwidth, pro rendering apps like Octane will see up to 4x faster performance.
M4 is Apple’s most powerful Neural Engine ever, capable of 38 trillion operations per second, 60x faster than Apple’s first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic.
Smart HDR enables the 12MP back camera to capture images and videos with even better color, textures, and detail in low light. The new iPad Pro also features a new adaptive True Tone flash that makes document scanning easier than ever.
The TrueDepth camera is now located in a landscape position on the new iPad Pro. The Ultra Wide 12MP camera with Center Stage makes video conferencing in landscape orientation even better, especially when iPad is connected to a Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio.
The connectivity option includes Wifi 6E, 5G, 4G, USB Type-C with support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4. It comes in 256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB storage variants.
Apple Pencil Pro:
With Apple Pencil Pro, you can interact with the Apple Pencil in even more powerful ways. The barrel features a sensor that detects when a user squeezes it, bringing up a tool palette that allows users to quickly switch between tools, line weights, and colors. For a remarkably intuitive experience, a custom haptic engine provides a light tap when users squeeze, double-tap, or snap to a Smart Shape. Users can roll Apple Pencil Pro for precise control of the tool they’re using thanks to the gyroscope. As with pen and paper, rotating the barrel changes the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools. Before making a mark, users can see the exact orientation of the Apple Pencil hover.
Apple Pencil Pro allows users to bring their ideas to life in entirely new ways, while developers can also create their own custom interactions. The Apple Pencil Pro now supports Find My for the first time, making it easier for users to locate their Apple Pencil if they lose it. Using a magnetic interface, it pairs, charges, and is stored on the side of iPad Pro. The iPad Pro also supports Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note-taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more.
All-New Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio
Designed specifically for the new iPad Pro, the Magic Keyboard is thinner and lighter than ever before. New Magic Keyboard features a floating design that customers love, plus a function row for accessing features like brightness and volume. In addition to a gorgeous aluminum palm rest and a larger trackpad with haptic feedback, the entire experience feels like using a MacBook. Using the Smart Connector, the Magic Keyboard instantly connects power and data without Bluetooth. It also features a USB-C connector for charging. There are two colors available for the Magic Keyboard: black with a space black aluminum palm rest, and white with a silver aluminum palm rest.
For greater flexibility, the new Smart Folio for iPad Pro attaches magnetically and supports multiple viewing angles. The new iPad Pro is available in black, white, and denim colors.
