Technical Details

M2 chip

The M2 chip is the next generation of Apple silicon, with a CPU that delivers faster performance and a GPU that provides faster graphics performance. With a faster Neural Engine to accelerate machine learning tasks and more memory bandwidth, M2 brings astonishing performance and capabilities to iPad Pro. So, you can create photorealistic 3D designs, build intricate AR models and play games with console-quality graphics at high frame rates faster than ever. All while enjoying all-day battery life.

A complete film studio in your hands

The high-performance media engine on M2 accelerates ProRes encode and decode. You can convert video projects to ProRes faster. And with the image signal processor in M2 and advanced cameras on iPad Pro, you can capture ProRes video. Five studio-quality microphones and four-speaker audio with support for Dolby Atmos let you record and deliver cinema-quality sound.

Liquid Retina XDR display

The Liquid Retina XDR display delivers true-to-life detail with a 1000000:1 contrast ratio, great for viewing and editing HDR photos and videos or enjoying your favorite movies and TV shows. It also features a breathtaking 1000 nits of full-screen brightness and 1600 nits of peak brightness along with advanced display technologies like P3 wide color, True Tone and ProMotion. And you can use Reference Mode for a more color-accurate workflow.

Mini-LEDs

To achieve extremely high brightness, an array of LEDs was used across the entire back of the display. To fit them in the incredibly thin iPad Pro, custom-designed mini-LEDs were used. Custom-size optical films and diffusers mix the light more efficiently and fit in a thin design.

Local dimming zones

Over 10000 mini-LEDs are grouped into more than 2500 local dimming zones. Depending on the content, the brightness in each zone can be precisely adjusted to achieve an astonishing 1000000:1 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.

Front-facing camera

The iPad Pro features an Ultra-Wide camera with a 12MP sensor and a 122-degree field of view, perfect for capturing photos and video for social posts, FaceTime calls with Centre Stage, or epic Portrait mode selfies. And it works with the TrueDepth camera to securely unlock iPad Pro with Face ID.

Centre Stage

Using the Ultra-Wide camera and machine learning, Centre Stage changes the way you participate in video calls. As you move around, it automatically adjusts to keep you centered 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

Advanced Wide and Ultra-Wide cameras help you capture the perfect photo or video. And with support for ProRes video capture, iPad Pro is a complete mobile video studio. The more powerful ISP in the M2 chip also supports Smart HDR 4, so photos shot on iPad look even more true to life.

LiDAR scanner

The LiDAR scanner measures how long it takes light to reflect back 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.

Blazing-fast connections

The iPad has always been uniquely portable with superfast Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi 6E, you’ve got faster wireless connection. So, you’ll get faster transfers of photos, documents and large video files.
