Ultra Retina XDR iPad Pro with M4 chip

 The iPad Pro from Apple

Apple improved portability and performance today with the release of the remarkably light and thin iPad Pro. The new iPad Pro is available in two sizes: 13 inches and 11 inches, and comes with finishes in silver and space black. With tandem OLED technology, the most sophisticated Ultra Retina XDR display in the world is available in both sizes, providing breathtaking visuals.


This is powered by the next Apple M4 chip, which increases capabilities and performance. The Ultra Retina XDR display precision, colour, and brightness of the M4 are made possible by a revolutionary display engine. With the most potent neural engine to date, a next-generation GPU based on the M3, and a new CPU, it is an incredibly strong artificial intelligence device.

iPad Pro availability and cost

The iPad Pro's smart skills and versatility are enhanced by new accessories. The Apple Pencil Pro adds powerful new interactions to the pencil experience, while the Magic Keyboard, which is lighter and smaller, has incredible functionality. On Wednesday, May 15, orders for the new iPad Pro, Apple Pencil Pro, and Magic Keyboard can be placed both online and in-store.

It is perfect for anyone who wants the best iPad experience because of its top-notch displays, potent M-series CPUs, and creative accessories in a portable form. It enables a wide range of pros. The new Apple iPad Pro is unsurpassed thanks to its revolutionary Ultra Retina XDR display, superior M4 performance, amazing AI capabilities, and compatibility with the brand-new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.

Apple's thinnest product to date

The iPad Pro, the smallest Apple product to date, revolutionises portability. Although they are 5.3 and 5.1 mm thin, respectively, the 11-inch and 13-inch devices are just as sturdy as the previous model. The less than a pound weight of the 11-inch model and the quarter-pound less weight of the 13-inch model allow professional users to expand their operations. The silver and space black cases of the new Apple iPad Pro are made entirely of recyclable aluminium.

World's Most Advanced Display

The ultra-retina XDR display on the new iPad Pro is the most advanced display in the world, and it improves the visual experience. Peak full-screen brightness is achieved by combining the light from two OLED panels using tandem OLED technology in the Ultra Retina XDR display. The new iPad Pro boasts an astounding full-screen brightness of 1000 nits for SDR and HDR video, and a peak brightness of 1600 nits for HDR. This device's enormous dynamic range is unmatched. Tandem OLED technology enhances XDR precision by enabling sub-millisecond pixel colour and brightness control.

With the iPad, highlights in images and videos are brighter and shadows and low light are more precise than before, providing even greater sensitivity to moving content. Pro users can now use iPad Pro nano-texture glass in demanding lighting conditions or high-end color-managed procedures. In order to preserve contrast and picture quality while dispersing ambient light to lessen glare, nano-texture glass is nanometer-etched. With its tandem OLED technology, high brightness, precise contrast, vibrant colours, and nano-texture glass option, the new Ultra Retina XDR display the most sophisticated in the world offers iPad Pro customers a viewing experience that is unrivalled.

Apple M4 Processors

The innovative design of the new iPad Pro, together with its lightweight and revolutionary display, are only made possible by M4, Apple's next generation of performance-enhancing silicon. The iPad Pro is a perfect fit for M4's second-generation 3-nanometer technology, which is more power efficient. The exceptional accuracy, colour, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display are made possible by the ground-breaking display engine of the M4. With its six efficiency cores and four performance cores, along with next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators, the new CPU outperforms the M2 in the previous iPad Pro by 1.5 times.

The iPad may now experience hardware-accelerated mesh shading, ray tracing, and dynamic caching thanks to the 10-core GPU in the 3 M4. Professional rendering programmes such as Octane will outperform M2 by a factor of four and have superior unified memory bandwidth.M4 provides enormous gains and the best performance per watt in the industry. With half the power and a quarter of the power consumption of M2, M4 can perform the same tasks as the newest PC processor in a thin and light laptop. The latest advanced Media Engine facilitates AV decoding for energy-efficient presentation of high-definition streaming video.

Amazing AI Instrument

Apple's most potent Neural Engine, found in the iPad Pro with M4, can process 38 trillion operations per second, which is 60 times faster than the A11 Bionic chip. The new iPad Pro is an incredibly powerful AI tablet thanks to its Neural Engine, next-generation CPU ML accelerators, high-performance GPU, enhanced memory bandwidth, intelligent features, and strong developer frameworks in iPadOS. Users can use Scene Removal Mask in Final Cut Pro on iPad Pro with M4 to tap to separate a subject from its backdrop in 4K footage. The M4 Neural Engine performs better than the neural processing unit of any AI PC.

With iPadOS's sophisticated frameworks like Core ML, developers can quickly and efficiently access the Neural Engine to run generative AI and diffusion models locally with remarkable device performance. Cloud-based productivity and AI-powered creative tools like Adobe Firefly and Copilot for Microsoft 365 are supported on the Apple iPad Pro.

Expert Cameras

With the enhanced camera system on the new iPad Pro, users can record, edit, and share videos with high-quality audio from four studio-caliber microphones. More colour, texture, and low-light detail are captured in dynamic Smart HDR images and videos captured by the 12MP back camera. Document scanning is enhanced by the customisable True Tone flash on the new iPad Pro. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the new iPad Pro recognises documents in the Camera app right away. If there is a shadow in the way, it quickly takes multiple pictures using the adaptive flash and stitches them together to provide a superior scan.


The new iPad Pro's front-facing TrueDepth camera faces landscape. Landscape video conferencing on iPad is enhanced by the Ultra Wide 12MP camera with Centre Stage when it is linked to a Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio.

The iPad Ro boasts a high-speed USB-C connector with up to 40Gb/s of bandwidth capability for Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4. A vast array of high-performance peripherals, such as external displays like the 6K Pro Display XDR and storage, are available for Thunderbolt and may be linked together with high-performance docks and connections.

For quick mobile professional processes, the Apple iPad Pro features Wi-Fi 6E. Users may communicate with coworkers, view files fast, and back up their data with the 5G Wi-Fi + Cellular variants. The cellular versions of the new iPad Pro come with eSIM, a more secure SIM card that allows for digital plan connection and transfer as well as multiple plan storage on a single device. The new iPad Pro can connect to wireless data plans in over 190 countries and territories without the need for a SIM card from a local carrier.

Pencil Pro from Apple

The Apple Pencil Pro offers powerful new interactions and even more magical features to improve the Apple Pencil experience. A special barrel sensor senses pressure and exposes a tool pallet so you can quickly change the tools, line weights and colours without having to stop being creative. For a very natural experience, a special haptic engine verifies squeezes, double-taps, and snaps to Smart Shapes with a light tap. For more precise control, users can spin the Apple Pencil Pro using a gyroscope. Pen and brush instruments revolve by rotating the barrel, just like a pen and paper. Users of the Apple Pencil hover can view the tool orientation prior to marking.

With the Apple Pencil Pro, developers can design unique interactions and consumers may visualise their ideas in new ways thanks to its advanced features. First time ever Locate My assistance with the Apple Pencil Pro aids users in finding misplaced pencils. On the iPad Pro, a novel magnetic interface couples, charges, and stores it. At an affordable price, the iPad Pro is compatible with the Apple Pencil (USB-C) for taking notes, drawing, annotating, journaling, and more.
