Apple , which has always had a regular agenda, has unveiled some of its star products such as the iPad Pro It comes with the M1 Chip that makes it the fastest in its category thanks to the enormous power it develops and its bespoke technologies, such as the advanced image signal processor and the unified memory architecture. It is highly efficient and provides power and autonomy all day, in a compact and lightweight body.
It is an 8-core processor that manages up to 50% more performance . It also has a powerful GPU that accelerates graphics performance by 40%, making it easy, for example, to create complex augmented reality models, play with console-level graphics at a massive frame rate.
Enhanced Liquid Retina XDR display
The device integrates the Liquid Retina XDR screen (11 and 12.9 inches, depending on the version) that displays images with an outstanding level of detail and a contrast of 1,000,000: 1. This feature becomes evident when viewing and editing HDR photos and videos or when viewing movies and series. Note that it also has a full-screen brightness of 1,000 bits and a peak brightness of 1,600 bits, a wide color gamut (P3), and advanced technologies such as True Tone or ProMotion.
To achieve this brightness, Apple has integrated into the back of the screen a set of special mini-LEDs that occupy 120 times less than those of the previous generation, as well as optical films and diffusers that mix light efficiently, without altering the ultra-thin design that is 0.64 cm thick.
The more than 10,000 mini-LEDs are grouped into some 2,500 local dimming zones. Depending on the content, the brightness of each of these areas can be adjusted to achieve a contrast of 1,000,000: 1. With these systems the visualization is detailed even in scenes such as galaxies or explosions in action movies, which are now more realistic.
Design and performance
It seemed impossible, but the design of the product has been improved, mainly thinking about ease of transport and comfort of use.
Advanced technologies have been added, such as ProMotion (with adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz) or True Tone (more comfort for the eyes), also the wide color gamut P3 and a very low reflectivity are added, which affects an improved image and an immediate response.
5G compatibility
The iPad is compatible with 5G, and it should be mentioned that today it is the device in its category that supports the most 5G bands. So that productivity does not decline, it includes ultra-fast wireless connection, which is why it carries sixth-generation Wi-Fi technology, which offers more speed in wireless networks.
Camera system
The team debuts an ultra-wide-angle with centered framing with a 12 Mpx sensor and 122 ° field of view, suitable for talking on FaceTime, using the new Center Framing feature, and taking selfies in Portrait mode. Plus, it works with the TrueDepth camera to safely unlock iPad Pro with Face ID.
This Center Framing feature takes advantage of ultra wide angle and machine learning to place your subject in the center of the image during video calls. If you move, it automatically adjusts the focus so you don’t lose sight of it, and zooms in or out as needed when other people join or leave the call. This feature works with FaceTime and other video calling apps.
With the wide angle and the ultra wide angle you can take photos and videos with remarkable quality, and even create a multi-camera system to shoot your own shorts. Thanks to the image signal processor of the M1 chip, iPad Pro brings Smart HDR technology to the user .
Remember that the LiDAR scanner measures how long it takes for light to be reflected from objects and creates a depth map of the space in which the user is, to fully immerse them in augmented reality. It teams up with the Image Signal Processor to reduce capture time and focus images and videos more precisely, even in low light.
Possibilities and connections
The Thunderbolt port offers compatibility with USB-C connectors and provides access to an ecosystem of high-performance accessories, such as external hard drives, monitors, and docks. Transfer huge files or even use Pro Display XDR at true 6K resolution. It provides speeds of up to 40 Gb / s of bandwidth in wired connections.
The Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio multiply the potential of the iPad Pro. The Apple Pencil makes it a blank canvas as well as a sophisticated notebook. Allows you to draw, annotate documents, and fill in text fields. Provides excellent pressure sensitivity and double-tap functionality to change tools. The Magic Keyboard helps you type comfortably and has a built-in trackpad that expands the possibilities. It has backlit keys. Available in black and white.
