Apple has shaken the tablet market once again with the new iPad Pro. It still has the same design and two sizes from the previous generation. Now it sports Apple’s M1 chip, the same chip used in the recently-released MacBook, and can deliver desktop-class performance in the iPad Pro’s thin and light fan-less body.
The tablet is also the home of the Liquid Retina XDR display with Mini-LED technology. With over 10,000 mini-LEDs and over 2,500 local dimming zones, the iPad’s screen can achieve a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness and 1,600 nits of peak brightness when viewing HDR content. And the cherry on top, super-fast 5G cellular connectivity.
