New iPad Pro: the key is in the power and the screen
The last time Apple presented a new iPad Pro was in October 2022, so a new generation of Apple’s most advanced tablet was already missed, especially to know the advances that the company has made in terms of hardware, or being more specific: the big question that many of us had was What chip would Apple include in the new iPad Pro by 2024.
And the company has surprised us by bring the new M4 Chip to the iPad Pro. The new Apple Silicon debuts in the company’s most powerful tablet so far, promising a leap in performance and also in efficiency, but also featuring a more powerful neural engine for what will be the arrival of Apple’s new artificial intelligence in iOS 18 (and also on iPadOS 18). The M4 chip is based on a second-generation 3-nanometer manufacturing process and its neural engine goes from the 16 cores of the previous chip to 24 cores.
As for the screen, the iPad Pro finally takes a long-awaited leap and has an excellent OLED panel in two sizes: 11″ and 12.9″. The company calls this screen Tandem OLED, explaining that it integrates two panels to offer more brightness and even sharper colors. This is a well-deserved change for Apple’s most advanced tablet, which finally incorporates the same screen technology that we see in the iPhone. On the other hand, the iPad Pro 2024 screen offers a maximum brightness of 1000 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
For the rest, the new iPad Pro has a dual camera system on the back, including a 12 MP main sensor and a 10 MP ultra-wide angle sensor, along with a 12 MP ultra-wide angle camera on the front, arranged horizontal. The new tablets have an advanced sound system made up of four speakers, and support for the latest generation of Apple Pencil.
