Apple's new iPad Pro Launched, starting at Rs.99,900 in India with 11/13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, M4 chip
At the 'Let Loose' event, Apple revealed its latest iPad Pro lineup, available in two sizes: a spacious 13-inch model and a more compact 11-inch version. These new iPads showcase an impressively thin and lightweight design. The 11-inch model measures a mere 5.3 mm thin, while its 13-inch counterpart is even slimmer at 5.1 mm. Both models feature enclosures crafted from 100 percent recycled aluminum, aligning with Apple’s sustainability initiatives.
Employing Ultra Retina XDR technology, the new iPad Pro delivers outstanding brightness, offering up to 1000 nits for standard content and an impressive 1600 nits for HDR content. For professionals engaged in color-sensitive tasks, there's a nano-texture glass option that reduces glare while preserving image quality.
Powered by the M4 chip, featuring second-gen 3-nanometer technology for improved efficiency, the iPad Pro boasts up to four performance cores and six efficiency cores, resulting in 1.5x faster CPU performance compared to its predecessor. Its 10-core GPU, equipped with Dynamic Caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading, enhances rendering app performance. Moreover, with Apple’s most potent Neural Engine to date, capable of 38 trillion operations per second, and advanced ML accelerators, the iPad Pro excels in AI tasks, catering to demanding workflows.
On the camera front, the updated system offers enhanced versatility, featuring a 12MP back camera capable of capturing vibrant images and video. The TrueDepth 12MP Ultra Wide front camera, now positioned in landscape orientation, enhances the video conferencing experience.
Connectivity options include a high-performance USB-C connector with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4 support, ensuring rapid wired connectivity. The iPad Pro also supports Wi-Fi 6E and cellular models with 5G for efficient on-the-go productivity. iPadOS 17 introduces a plethora of new features, including Reference Mode for precise color matching and Stage Manager for multitasking with multiple windows, alongside updates to apps such as Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro.
In terms of accessories, there’s the new Apple Pencil Pro, equipped with advanced features like a squeeze sensor, gyroscope, and customizable tool palette, along with Find My support. Additionally, there's an all-new Magic Keyboard, thinner and lighter than its predecessor, featuring a function row, a larger trackpad, and a built-in USB-C connector for charging. The Smart Folio now offers support for multiple viewing angles.
