There’s a new screen, a new keyboard, and a new chip. However, the first thing that grabs your attention with the iPad Pro 2024 is its appearance.
A few reporters had the opportunity to see Apple's new tablet in person during a watch party in New York City, where the company just introduced the iPad Pro. When it comes to how much more elegant the new model is, Apple is not lying. With an 11-inch model's thickness of 5.3 mm and a 13-inch tablet's thickness of 5.1 mm, the new iPad is significantly lighter and thinner than any previous product the company has produced.
The larger size feels quite more comfortable to handle and operate, which is a huge difference. (Technically, it's even bigger now, going from 12.9 inches to 13 inches.) As someone who has carried about an 11-inch Pro for the last year and a half, there is a noticeable difference between the Pro and the new Air from almost across the room. Right now, fragility is the main concern: s the new Pro potentially too thin? With every device, there are always trade-offs, but this one seems rigid and sturdy enough. We need to conduct a lot of testing.
When compared to the iPad Air or even earlier iPad Pro versions, the latest iPad Pro model seems to be similar. It's a large screen with metal bezels, and to be honest, the screens on all iPads are excellent. There are several differences when you go closer. These Pro versions are now considerably slimmer than before. Though theoretically unnecessary, but your opinion may change if you live with a Magic Keyboard connected.
The M4 chips included within the new Pros are a whole new design that Apple announced only six months after the M3's Halloween launch. From its cores and GPUs to its 3 nanometer design, the M4 seems to be pretty much in line with the M3. According to Apple, the M4 supports a new design that works with the improved OLED display and a superior thermal design for thin devices like this iPad. It's unclear how much quicker it is because Apple only made comparisons with the M2, not the M3. But we'll find out soon enough.
The new display has a beautiful appearance. For iPads, Apple has now moved to OLED screens, something that firms like Samsung did a long time ago for tablets. These are much better, according to Apple, which calls them Ultra Retina XDR displays. Tandem OLED technology combines two OLED panels simultaneously to improve brightness for HDR (up to 1,600 nits for HDR, and 1,000 nits for regular use). Additionally, there is an elegant matte finish option (nano texture glass) that is comparable to Apple's premium Studio Display.
The improved Magic Keyboard and the new Apple Pencil Pro are two of the new Pro's key accessories. Since the new iPad Pro and aluminum interior keyboard case together now make for a slimmer, lighter product overall, the new Pro looks to be fine-tuned to the entire Magic Keyboard on-iPad configuration. How slim and light?
The Pencil Pro feels just like the original Pencil. Though it costs the same $129 as the original Pencil 2, the new Pencil Pro has a few extra functions. It still has the same appearance. Now, when you squeeze the Pencil, pop-up options with haptic vibrations and a little click reaction appear on the iPad screen. Although it's a charming little addition, there's an embedded gyroscope which enables Pencil rotations while in hand. It is the most useful feature. Now that the Pencil can spin brush tools on the fly, using it seems more natural than using a real brush.
Do you need IPad Pro 2024? This definitely looks fantastic, but Apple's other iPad models already have excellent screens. If someone requires a specific state-of-the-art quality for their film or graphic job, well, that's questionable. In any event, these screens appear to be Apple's new Pro device display templates for all upcoming products
