2024 Apple iPad Pro with New Technology

The first upgrade of the new Apple iPad Pro is the M4 chip. As the latest model of the M series of chips, Apple’s M4 chip uses the second-generation 3nm process and a CPU with 4 performance cores and 6 energy efficiency cores. It is said to to deliver 50% increase in CPU performance compared to the M2 chip.

Additionally, M4 chip also adds a new display engine. Its GPU has 10-core architecture, which is 4 times faster than the M2 chip, and supports ray tracing for the first time. And Apple also said that with the support of the 16-core neural network engine, the M4’s computing speed can reach 38 trillion operations per second, which is very suitable for processing various AI tasks.

The new iPad Pro comes in 2 sizes 13 inches and 11 inches with four storage versions, of which only the 1TB and 2TB versions are equipped with full power, while the 256GB version and the 512GB version castrate a performance core in the CPU part, that is, “3 Performance core + 6 energy efficiency cores”, which will inevitably affect the overall performance of iPad Pro.

The second thing that struck me is the screen – Tandem OLED Display that Apple’s engineers have settled on. The screen of the new iPad Pro is realized by stacking two OLED screens, which brings higher brightness and durability. It is capable of 1,000 nits full-screen brightness and 1,600 nits at peak, with the motion benefits that OLED affords. Compared with the mini-LED iPad Pro, this would be a perfect upgraded iteration of mini-LED screen.

Don’t forget about the Apple Pencil Pro, to take advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the new iPad Pro. Compared with the second-generation Apple Pencil, Apple Pencil Pro has new functions of tap, side spin, and tactile feedback.

Tap: Apple Pencil Pro can detect the pinch gesture and pop up a new tool tray to quickly switch tools, line thickness and color.

Side Spin: With the support of the new gyroscope, rotating the Apple Pencil Pro body can now accurately control brush tools of different shapes.

Haptic feedback: Customized haptic engine delivers perceptible and precise tactile feedback. When you pinch or tap twice, there will be a slight vibration to confirm the operation.

Apple Pencil hover: You can use it to preview the exact pen position of Apple Pencil on the display, making you write, draw, and draw more accurately.

Double tap: Double tap on Apple Pencil Pro to quickly switch between brushes, erasers and other tools.
