Apple iPad Pro 2021...

OverviewiPad Pro supercharged with the Apple M1 chip.

The ultimate iPad experience. With next-level M1 mind blowing-performance, a breathtaking XDR display and fast wireless.

M1 chip – With M1, iPad Pro is the fastest device of its kind. It’s designed to take full advantage of next‑level performance and custom technologies like the advanced image signal processor and unified memory architecture of M1. And with the incredible power efficiency of the M1, iPad Pro is still thin and light with all‑day battery life, making it as portable as it is powerful.

Faster performance and graphics – The 8‑core CPU of M1 delivers up to 50% faster performance. And M1 has an 8‑core GPU in a class of its own, delivering up to 40% faster graphics performance to iPad Pro. So you can build intricate AR models, play games with console‑quality graphics at high frame rates and more.

Extreme dynamic range comes to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro – The Liquid Retina XDR display delivers true-to-life detail with a 10,00,000:1 contrast ratio, great for viewing and editing HDR photos and videos or enjoying your favourite movies and TV shows. It also features a breathtaking 1,000 nits of full‑screen brightness and 1,600 nits of peak brightness. And advanced display technologies like P3 wide colour, True Tone and ProMotion.

Mini‑LEDs – To achieve extremely high brightness, we used an array of LEDs across the entire back of the display. To fit them in the incredibly thin iPad Pro, we used custom‑designed mini‑LEDs that are 120 times smaller than the previous generation. And custom optical films and diffusers mix the light more efficiently so it can fit in a design that’s just 6.4 millimetres thin.

Local dimming zones – Over 10,000 mini‑LEDs are grouped into more than 2,500 local dimming zones. Depending on the content, the brightness in each zone can be precisely adjusted to achieve an astonishing 10,000,00:1 contrast ratio. Even the most detailed HDR content with the finest specular highlights — like galaxies and action movie explosions — are more true to life than ever.

Ultra-Wide camera with Centre Stage – iPad Pro features a new Ultra-Wide camera with a 12MP sensor and a 122‑degree field of view, making it perfect for FaceTime and the new Centre Stage feature. It’s also great for epic Portrait mode selfies. And it works with the TrueDepth camera to securely unlock iPad Pro with Face ID.

Centre Stage – The all-new Centre Stage uses the Ultra-Wide camera and machine learning to change the way you participate in video calls. As you move around, it automatically pans to keep you centred in the frame. When others join in or leave the call, the view expands or zooms in. Centre Stage works with FaceTime and other video conferencing apps for an even more engaging experience.

Pro cameras – Wide and Ultra Wide cameras help you capture the perfect photo or video or even set up a multi‑camera filmmaking rig. And with the more powerful ISP in the M1 chip, iPad Pro now features Smart HDR 3.

LiDAR – The LiDAR Scanner measures how long it takes light to reflect from objects, so it can create a depth map of any space you’re in and unlock immersive AR experiences. And it works with the powerful ISP to more accurately focus images and videos in low‑light conditions and reduce capture time.

For powerful creative workflows – Now with Thunderbolt, this is the fastest, most versatile port ever on iPad. It works with existing USB‑C connectors and opens up an extensive ecosystem of high‑performance accessories for iPad Pro — like fast external storage, displays and docks. Transfer huge assets or even drive the Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution.

Fast connection – iPad has always been uniquely portable with super-fast Wi‑Fi and cellular options. You can connect to the fastest wireless networks when you need to download files, stream movies, collaborate with colleagues and upload content on the go.

Wi‑Fi 6 – Fast wireless connections are critical to getting things done. With Wi‑Fi 6, rest assured that you’ve got the fastest Wi‑Fi available.

Pro accessories – Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard and the Smart Keyboard Folio open up even more ways to use iPad Pro. Draw a masterpiece, take notes or knock out a business plan. These versatile accessories are designed to take your work and creativity to the next level.

Apple Pencil – With the power of Apple Pencil, iPad Pro transforms into an immersive drawing canvas and the world’s best note‑taking device. It sets the standard for how drawing, marking up documents and even filling in text fields should feel — intuitive, precise and magical.

Magic Keyboard – Magic Keyboard features a responsive typing experience and a built‑in trackpad that gives you new ways to work with iPadOS. So you can write your novel, churn out an assignment or rip through your inbox. And with backlit keys, you can get things done in any light.

Thunderbolt has 40 Gbps bandwidth for connecting to displays, drives and more.

Five studio ‑ Quality microphones record great sound when you shoot video, make music and more. Four speaker audio delivers theatre‑like sound and support for Dolby Atmos.
