The new iPad Pro is the thinnest and lightest Apple product ever, boasting a stunningly thin and light design that redefines portability. With a thickness of just 5.3mm for the 11-inch model and 5.1mm for the 13-inch model, pro users can extend their workflows in new ways and more places than ever before. Despite its ultra-slim profile, the new iPad Pro is as strong as its predecessors, offering uncompromising durability. Crafted from 100 percent recycled aluminum, the iPad Pro comes in two elegant finishes: silver and space black.
At the heart of the new iPad Pro lies the Ultra Retina XDR display, the world’s most advanced display technology. Featuring state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology, the Ultra Retina XDR display delivers unmatched brightness and contrast, with support for up to 1000 nits of full-screen brightness for SDR and HDR content, and a peak brightness of 1600 nits for HDR. With sub-millisecond control over color and luminance, the Ultra Retina XDR display ensures unparalleled precision and detail, making it perfect for high-end color-managed workflows and challenging lighting conditions. For the first time, the new iPad Pro offers a nano-texture glass option, reducing glare while maintaining image quality and contrast.
Driving the remarkable performance of the new iPad Pro is the M4 chip, Apple’s most advanced silicon to date. Built on second-generation 3-nanometer technology, M4 delivers up to 1.5x faster CPU performance and up to 4x faster performance for pro rendering apps compared to its predecessor. With an advanced GPU architecture, powerful Neural Engine, and support for AI-enabled tasks, the new iPad Pro is an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence.
The updated camera system on the new iPad Pro offers even more versatility, capturing vibrant images and video with improved color and detail. With four studio-quality mics, users can shoot, edit, and share all on one device. The TrueDepth camera system has been relocated to the landscape orientation, improving the video conferencing experience, especially when using accessories like the Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio.
Apple has also introduced new accessories tailored for the new iPad Pro, including the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard. The Apple Pencil Pro features powerful new interactions, while the Magic Keyboard offers a thinner and lighter design with a function row for added convenience. iPadOS comes packed with features that push the boundaries of what’s possible on iPad, including Reference Mode, Stage Manager, and support for external displays up to 6K.
Designed with the environment in mind, the new iPad Pro features 100 percent recycled aluminum and rare earth elements in its construction. Apple’s commitment to sustainability extends to its packaging, which is 100 percent fiber-based. With a carbon-neutral footprint for global corporate operations and plans to be carbon neutral across the entire product life cycle by 2030, Apple is leading the way in environmentally conscious technology.
The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at RM5,299 / $999 for the Wi-Fi model, and RM6,299 / $1,199 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. The 13-inch model starts at RM6,799 / $1,299 for the Wi-Fi model, and RM7,799 / $1,499 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. All of them are available in storage variants of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB.
Pokdepinion: The new iPad Pro represents a giant leap forward in design, performance, and display technology, reaffirming Apple’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. With its revolutionary features and accessories, the new iPad Pro empowers pro users to push the boundaries of creativity and productivity like never before.
