New iPad Pro model powered by the M2 chip unveiled by Apple
Apple has announced the latest addition to its iPad Pro lineup, offering enhanced performance, connectivity, and productivity features. The new iPad Pro comes in two sizes – 11-inch and 12.9-inch – and is available in silver and space gray finishes with various storage configurations.
Superfast Connectivity and Global 5G Support
The new iPad Pro models feature superfast wireless connectivity, supporting Wi-Fi 6E for download speeds up to 2.4Gb/s, which is 2x faster than the previous generation. Additionally, the Wi-Fi + Cellular models now support more 5G networks worldwide, including sub-6GHz and mmWave, providing a seamless and speedy connection no matter where you are.
Powerful Processing Power with M2 Chip
Powering the new iPad Pro is Apple's next-generation chip, the M2. This powerful processor delivers a significant boost in performance, making the iPad Pro an ideal tool for demanding tasks such as video editing, 3D modeling, and coding.
Enhanced Apple Pencil Experience
The new iPad Pro offers a next-level Apple Pencil hover experience. Users can now see a preview of their mark before they make it, providing a more intuitive and precise drawing and writing experience.
Productivity-Boosting Features with iPadOS 16
The new iPad Pro comes with iPadOS 16, the operating system designed specifically for iPad. This update introduces powerful productivity features, such as Reference Mode for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display. This feature is particularly useful for workflows like review and approve, news, and compositing.
Another notable feature is Stage Manager, a new multitasking experience that enables users to work with multiple apps at once in a more organized and efficient manner. Full external display support for Stage Manager on M1 and M2 iPad models will be available in a software update later this year.
