The new iPad Pro introduces the Ultra Retina XDR display, hailed as the most advanced display globally, offering an exceptional visual experience. It employs tandem OLED technology, utilizing two OLED panels to deliver extraordinary full-screen brightness by combining their light output. Supporting 1000 nits of full-screen brightness for SDR and HDR content, and up to 1600 nits peak for HDR, it offers unparalleled dynamic range. Tandem OLED technology enables precise control over each pixel’s color and luminance, resulting in brighter specular highlights and enhanced detail in shadows and low light. For professionals working in color-managed workflows or challenging lighting conditions, a new nano-texture glass option is available, scattering ambient light to reduce glare while maintaining image quality and contrast. With its breakthrough display technology, extreme brightness, precise contrast, vibrant colors, and nano-texture glass option, the Ultra Retina XDR display provides iPad Pro users with an unmatched viewing experience.

Revolutionizing Performance: The Next Generation iPad Pro with M4 Silicon
The new iPad Pro features an incredibly thin and light design, paired with a game-changing display made possible by the M4 chip, the next generation of Apple silicon. Built on second-generation 3-nanometer technology, M4 offers improved power efficiency, ideal for the iPad Pro’s design. With an innovative display engine, M4 enhances the precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. The CPU boasts up to four performance cores and six efficiency cores, along with next-generation machine learning accelerators, delivering up to 1.5x faster CPU performance than the previous-generation M2 chip. The 10-core GPU includes features like Dynamic Caching, mesh shading, and ray tracing, providing up to 4x faster performance for rendering apps like Octane compared to M2. Additionally, M4 offers industry-leading performance per watt, requiring half the power of M2 for similar performance and a quarter of the power compared to the latest PC chips in thin and light laptops. The advanced Media Engine supports AV1 decode for more power-efficient playback of high-resolution video content from streaming services.
