Apple unveiled its redesigned iPad Pro models, boasting the new M4 chip and an array of cutting-edge features. Offering both style and substance, these tablets come in refreshed 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, setting a new standard for innovation and performance.
The design of the new iPad Pro models is much thinner, with the 11-inch variant measuring a mere 5.3mm thick and the 13-inch version even slimmer at just 5.1mm. Apple proudly proclaims that this makes the latest iPad Pro the thinnest product ever produced by the company. Thanks to advanced thermal enhancements, including graphite sheets and copper elements, users can expect optimal performance without compromise.
The centerpiece of the new iPad Pro lineup is undoubtedly the Ultra Retina XDR OLED display, featuring a groundbreaking tandem panel design. This innovative display technology delivers breathtaking brightness levels of up to 1,000 nits for both SDR and HDR content, with peak HDR brightness reaching an astounding 1,600 nits. From deeper blacks to brighter highlights, every detail is brought to life with stunning clarity and precision, making for an unparalleled viewing experience.
Under the hood, the M4 chip reigns supreme, harnessing the power of second-generation 3nm technology to deliver blazing-fast performance. With a new display engine and hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, the M4 chip boasts a 50% increase in CPU performance compared to its predecessor, the M2. Rendering performance is also four times faster, ensuring seamless multitasking and smooth graphics-intensive tasks.
In a nod to the evolving landscape of digital communication, the front-facing camera has been strategically relocated to the side of the device, enhancing the video calling experience. Meanwhile, the rear camera receives an upgrade with support for ProRes video recording and Smart HDR 4, as well as the addition of an Adaptive TrueTone flash for improved document scanning.
For the first time ever, the iPad Pro is available with a nano-texture display option, offering enhanced clarity and reduced glare in various lighting conditions. Crafted from 100% recycled aluminum and available in Silver and Space Black, the iPad Pro embodies Apple's commitment to sustainability and design excellence.
Starting at $999 for the 11-inch model and $1,299 for the 13-inch model, the new iPad Pro is a testament to Apple's dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Pre-orders are now open, with the official launch slated for Wednesday, May 15th.
