Comprised of two OLED panels working in tandem, the 2752 x 2064 resolution Ultra Retina XDR display delivers stunning color with True Tone support, a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and 1600 nits peak HDR brightness. The nano-texture finish offers enhanced glare reduction for high-end workflows and harsh lighting environments. ProMotion Adaptive 10 to 120 Hz refresh rate provides smooth visuals while watching videos or playing fast-paced games. Both sides include 12MP Ultra Wide Cameras, with the rear camera capable of recording 4K ProRes videos at 60 fps. A True Tone flash works with AI features to enable high-quality document scanning, even in challenging lighting conditions. The built-in LiDAR scanner measures distance by determining light reflection for 3D workflows and AR applications. The front-facing camera has been moved to the landscape position for quality video chats in Full HD with Center Stage enhancements. The cameras are accompanied by four studio-quality microphones that are designed to help isolate voices.

You can connect 40 Gb/s compatible storage, up to 6K displays, and other peripherals to the Thunderbolt 3 port. A four-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system immerses you in movies, music, and games. Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) support provides smooth connections to compatible networks, and installing a SIM card from your preferred 5G LTE mobile data provider lets you connect to the internet from almost anywhere. Compatible accessories include the Apple Pencil Pro and redesigned Magic Keyboard.

Built on 3nm technology, the M4 chip delivers up to 1.5x faster performance and better power efficiency compared to the M2 Chip. Its CPU is comprised of four Performance cores and six Efficiency cores, allowing it to perform demanding tasks such as rendering 4K video. Additionally, the 10-Core GPU delivers features such as ray tracing while Dynamic Caching boosts graphics performance with apps and games and hardware-accelerated mesh shading allows it to quickly process complex scenes. A dedicated 16-Core Neural Engine accelerates AI workloads.

Delivering up to 4x faster pro rendering performance compared to the M2 Chip, the iPad Pro is ready to take on demanding tasks. The advanced Media Engine with hardware accelerated AV1 provides power efficient, high-resolution video playback. In fact, you can play back and edit up to five 4K ProRes streams with built-in AV1 decoding. Hardware-accelerated 8K H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW decoding and encoding are also supported.

A dedicated 16-Core Neural Engine accelerates AI tasks with support for up to 38 trillion operations per second. This allows you to perform tasks such as isolating a subject from the background in 4K videos with Final Cut Pro, pulling individual instrument and vocal tracks from a song, and automatically creating musical notation as you play.

Utilizing tandem OLED technology, the 13" Ultra Retina XDR touchscreen achieves rich color with exceptional high-dynamic range performance and P3 wide color gamut support. With a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, the display delivers precise highlights with deep shadows. It also features 1600 nits peak HDR brightness with a 1000 nit sustained brightness. ProMotion and True Tone technologies provide realistic visuals.

The nano-texture glass display significantly reduces glare by scattering ambient light while maintaining high image quality and contrast, making it ideal for high-end color workflows in demanding lighting conditions.

Shoot professional quality video with the 12MP Wide camera rear camera, which can capture detailed 4K ProRes video and vibrant Smart HDR images rich color, improved textures, and increased detail in low light.

The adaptive True Tone flash improves document scanning on iPad Pro by using AI to detect documents like forms and receipts. If a shadow is in the way, it takes multiple images with the True Tone flash and stitches them together to create a high-quality document.

The integrated LiDAR scanner enhances 3D workflows and enables faster and more immersive AR experiences. So you can turn a quick scan into a 3D CAD project that you can edit in SketchUp from one device.

With landscape positioning, the 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera is ideal for video meetings with Center Stage keeping you in frame as you move around. When others join in or leave the call, the view expands or zooms in. Center Stage works with FaceTime and other video conferencing apps. The TrueDepth camera also securely unlocks iPad Pro with Face ID.
