Apple iPad Pro 2022 - with M2 turbo-burned chip

iPad Pro and the next generation of the cult iPad tablet have just been presented by Apple. This time the company was not tempted to present the equipment at a special conference, as was done with the iPhone 14 , and immediately threw them into its store. Considering that tablets are not necessarily equipment for everyone, which cannot be said about smartphones, maybe it was a good decision. The new devices will certainly find their admirers, although you have to be prepared for a considerable expense.

New iPad Pro 2022 - Apple releases another tablet for professionals

Apple is not giving up the tablet market and today it has introduced a redesigned iPad and its new and improved version of the iPad Pro . The latter model will appear in two versions – 11 and 12.9 inches , and in both cases we are talking about Liquid Retina displays (XDR version 12.9 inches). 

The smaller tablet has a display with a resolution of 2388 x 1668 pixels (264 ppi), and the larger one is 2732 x 2048 pixels (264 ppi). For people working with Apple Pencil (2nd generation), it will be important that the equipment has the function of detecting the stylus 12 mm from the screen itself, which will allow you to see what we are going to draw on the surface in advance.

The new iPad Pro is equipped with a new generation of Apple M2 chips , where the 8-core CPU is to provide speeds up to 15 percent faster than the M1. The 10-core GPU is expected to increase graphics performance by up to 35 percent, and there is also the 16-core Neural Engine system , which can process 40 percent more information than the M1 chip. 

So we are talking here about a much better and more efficient processor, which is supposed to be perfect for creators. The board also features a new multimedia engine and ISP processor, which allows ProRes video recording and 3x faster material transcoding in the ProRes format. The 128/256/512 GB version has 8 GB RAM , and the tablet with 1 and 2 TB has 16 GB RAM .

The new iPad Pro still uses Wi ‑ Fi 6E3 technology, and the Wi ‑ Fi + Cellular version uses 5G connectivity (sub-6GHz and mmWave4). The devices already work on iPadOS 16, and on board we will find Face ID, a LiDAR scanner or even GPS / GNSS (W-Fi + Cellular version). The cameras (wide-angle 12 Mpix, ultra-wide angle 10 Mpix) were also not forgotten, and there is 12 Mpix at the front.
