Apple Announces New iPad Pro With M4 Chip, OLED Display, and More

[ric22]

looks like M4 still starts with 8Gb ram and Wifi 6E. 256/512 come with 9 core CPU (3 performance cores, 6 efficiency cores)

Didn't the video literally just say 10 cores? 4 performance/6 efficiency???

Does anyone really care about how thin the iPad is?! Give us a hybrid tablet that runs iPad OS and MacOS with a magic keyboard that really makes it feel like a MacBook and that would be a killer product.

I was going to replace my Intel MacBook Pro 13 2020 with the latest Air but is an iPad Pro M4 13 inch now perhaps a better option? How does iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard work when having in on your lap?

better consider 15’ MacBook Air

Battery life is exactly the same as the iPad Pro with M2.

Display Support

• Supports one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

Arghhhhh….why Apple? Why, after 4 generations, you still haven’t fixed this?

Also why do we still have to upgrade to 1tb to get 16 gigs of memory? For that price you can buy a MacBook Pro!

So thin they had to remove the ultra wide camera on the back!

Maybe the main camera's focal length changed? I didn't spot whether it did in the video...

The 13" is the best seeing 13" in the world and the 15" is the best seeing 15" in the world. Why would the kill it off?

the iPad Pros just do not make sense to me, unless they make a **** ton of money selling accessories to make the iPad feel and look like a laptop.

So best consumer hardware components on the market...WOW
and comes with iPadOS...LOL

Now all content creators can make those 'Can an iPad replace your computer?' videos all over again.
Spoiler: it wont.

If you click the info icon in the config when choosing storage, it says the 256/512 is nerfed and has one less core. Guessing binning/yield/segmentation the usual stuff. Like how base M2 MBAs have a couple disabled graphics cores.

m1 iPad Pro with mini led is still fine for 99% of people, no one really uses an iPad for more than viewing media

 

[xxray]

My main question is do the new Pros support the old Apple Pencil 2? The magnetic one you used to buy for the 2018-2022 models?

 

[Jamie0003]

I’ll probably order since I hate how blacks show on my current Pro. Want to hear about the the new keyboard first. Do these new iPads work with the existing Magic Keyboard?

Nope

 

[Realityck]

At least the M2 IPad Air prices are down to earth with $599 11” model and $799 for 13” model.

 

[Rogifan]

Nope

Haha, of course they wouldn’t.

 

[dgdosen]

MacOS VM at WWDC?

Looks like the Ultra-Wide camera on the new iPad is gone....when doing the comparisons side by side it's notably absent.

No one uses that lens anyway. I’d give real money if Apple would swap the wide for a telephoto on the base iPhone models. I have zero interest in a chonky Pro but would really appreciate being able to bloody zoom while taking photos. Real zoom, not that MP manipulated nonsense software zoom.

256/512GB have 3P+6E cores and 8GB RAM
1/2TB have 4P+6E cores and 16GB RAM

According to MG Siegler:

Looks like mmWave 5G is gone now too, odd.

 

[ofarlig]

Hmm, this is making me want to replace my 12.9” M1 with the 13” and the new magic keyboard...

"We're not only going to push the limits of what you can do on iPad, we're going to crush them."
"Feels just like using a MacBook."

But it still cannot run macOS! That is the problem and that is what would really make it feel like using a MacBook.

If you want a MacBook, then get a MacBook. There are lot of people who want/need an iPad because of things like Procreate. You can't draw on a MacBook. And I prefer GarageBand on iPad because of touch instruments. Also I prefer most apps to their web counterparts. I'm not sure how you could reasonably combine the two iOS and MacOS without turning it into some kind of Frankenstein mess.

Nano glass only available with 1 or 2TB options. So a 13" with keyboard and pencil will run just under $2800 CDN. Yikes.

10 core CPU is available with 1TB and 2TB options

 

[jamesjingyi]

And still only a single display using M4?! Urgh...

And no compatibility with the previous Apple Pencil 2nd gen? So I have to get a new iPad Pro and a new Pencil Pro? Urghhh
