Apple has delighted its fans today with the unveiling of the latest iPad Pro during its live event. This new tablet comes packed with impressive upgrades that elevate it further into prosumer territory. Here are some key highlights of the new iPad Pro:
– Refreshed design and introduction of OLED display for the first time
– Introduction of Apple’s custom M4 chip, surpassing the M3 found in current MacBooks
– New CPU with up to 10 cores, delivering 1.5 times faster performance than the previous M2 chip
– Built on a 3-nanometer process for enhanced processing speed and AI capabilities without compromising battery life
– Includes a new display engine powering the iPad Pro’s Ultra Retina XDR display
The upgraded GPU brings new capabilities such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing, benefiting game developers aiming for more realistic graphics on the iPad Pro. However, Apple claims that the M4 chip contains “the most powerful Neural Engine chip” they have ever built, emphasizing AI as a standout feature. This could revolutionize tasks like isolating objects in videos, transcribing music, and other AI-powered functions.
Apple also emphasizes the M4’s remarkable power efficiency, delivering better performance while using only half the power of its predecessor. The chip includes a powerful media engine for efficient video streaming with support for popular formats like AV1 codec. Furthermore, all these enhancements are incorporated into a sleeker and lighter design.
The new iPad Pro is positioned as a powerhouse device for creative professionals and individuals engaging in demanding tasks on their tablets. Despite the advanced features, there is a slight increase in pricing – starting at $999 for the 11-inch model and $1,299 for the 13-inch version. While this may be considered slightly more expensive, it’s justified by the extent of upgrades offered in this latest model.
