Thanks to the A12Z Bionic chip, the iPad Pro is faster and more powerful than most notebooks for Windows PCs.
IPad Pro introduces an ultra wide-angle camera, professional-quality microphones and a revolutionary LiDAR scanner with advanced depth sensing capabilities, enabling more demanding work processes and compatibility with professional photo and video apps.
With LiDAR scanners, professional cameras, motion sensors, advanced performance, professional audio, stunning Liquid Retina display, and powerful apps, iPad Pro takes it one step further to establish itself as the world's best augmented reality (AR) device.
The new iPad Pro can be ordered starting today at apple.com.
With iPadOS 13.4, Apple includes trackpad support and revolutionizes the way you interact with iPad.
Instead of copying the macOS experience, when it comes to design, a totally new experience was created specifically for the iPad.
Therefore, when you move your finger on the trackpad, the pointer changes depending on the elements of the interface. Plus, using Multi-Touch gestures on the trackpad, you can comfortably navigate the entire system without ever lifting your hand.
Apple today also unveiled the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro.
With a tilt-adjustable mobile design, backlit keyboard and trackpad, typing on iPad is more comfortable than ever.
The Magic Keyboard will go on sale in May.
Professional performance thanks to the A12Z Bionic chip
The new iPad Pro takes care of the most demanding tasks, such as 4K video editing or 3D model design, thanks to the new A12Z Bionic chip.
The eight-core GPU, improved thermal architecture and advanced performance drivers deliver the best performance ever seen on an iPad.
Combined with the eight-core CPU and the powerful Neural Engine, which enables the use of next-generation apps, this chip is the only one capable of delivering the impressive performance of a thin and light device like the iPad Pro.
With up to 10 hours of battery life, 1 ultra-fast Wi-Fi connectivity 2 and 3% faster Gigabit-class LTE 60 with support for more LTE bands than any other tablet, customers can work and unleash their creativity without limits .
Professional screen
The edge-to-edge Liquid Retina (11 and 12,9 inches) is the most advanced mobile display on the planet.
Photos, videos, apps and games appear incredibly sharp and lifelike thanks to the wide P3 color gamut.
ProMotion technology automatically adjusts the screen refresh rate up to 120Hz for smoother scrolling and immediate response.
Plus, with True Tone technology, brightness intensity and anti-glare film, the image quality on iPad Pro surpasses that of any other mobile device, no matter where or how it's used.
Professional cameras
The iPad Pro's professional camera system includes a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera for stunning 4K photos and videos, now flanked by a 10-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera that zooms in twice to expand the frame and offers a much wider field of view .
The addition of a second camera doubles the photographic and video capabilities, with new perspectives and multi-camera options. A revolution for professionals with creative profiles.
Professional sound and studio quality microphones
IPad Pro is now equipped with five studio microphones to record crystal clear audio even at very low volumes.
Plus, its four speakers automatically adjust to orientation to provide an immersive portrait and landscape experience every time.
The cameras and professional audio along with the iPad Pro's large screen make it a very versatile mobile studio for filmmakers, video editors, podcast hosts, content creators and other audiovisual creatives.
Revolutionary LiDAR Scanner
The revolutionary LiDAR scanner opens up possibilities never before seen on a mobile device.
It calculates the distance to objects up to 5 meters away, can be used indoors and outdoors and works at the photon level in nanoseconds.
IPadOS's new depth technology combines depth points captured by the LiDAR scanner and data from both cameras and motion sensors with the computer vision algorithms of the A12Z Bionic chip to recreate the scene in greater detail.
All elements work together to take augmented reality experiences to another level on iPad Pro.
All ARKit apps offer instant augmented reality object placement, enhanced motion capture, and human occlusion. By combining the latest ARKit update with the new Scene Geometry API, developers can use the power of the new LiDAR scanner to unleash their imagination like never before.
The LiDAR scanner also enhances the measurement app. For example, it is now easier to calculate a person's height or measure objects quickly with great accuracy thanks to the vertical guides and limits that appear automatically.
Measurements app now includes Ruler view for obtaining millimeter data and allows users to save measurement lists with screens for reference.
iPadOS now supports the trackpad
With iPadOS 13.4, iPad introduces trackpad support. In addition to typing more naturally, it's easier to select text, work with spreadsheets, and follow professional work processes.
The trackpad is designed specifically for the iPad touch experience, so the cursor appears as a circle highlighting apps on the Home screen and Dock, UI elements, and text fields so users know where they can click.
Likewise, the trackpad lets you switch between apps, open the app selector, and activate the Dock, Control Center, and apps in Slide Over through smooth gestures.
Compatibility with iPadOS allows customers to use the trackpad with their favorite apps. It is useful for browsing web pages in Safari and images in Photos or for easily editing text in Notes and organizing mail in Mail.
Most third-party apps work out of the box with the trackpad, and developers can get even more out of it with new APIs and create unique experiences for their apps.
Updated versions of the Keynote, Pages, and Numbers apps take full advantage of the trackpad. Writing and editing text in Pages is simple, adding multiple objects in Keynote is easier than ever, and working with huge spreadsheets in Numbers is no mystery.
Professional accessories with the Magic keyboard
The new Magic Keyboard joins the second generation Apple Pencil 4 and the redesigned Smart Keyboard Folio 5.
It magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro to bring out the impressive Multi-Touch display and has a floating design that stays stable both when used on a table and on your lap.
Cantilever hinges allow tilting up to an angle of 130 degrees. The lightweight and rugged design of the Magic Keyboard hides a full keyboard with backlit scissor keys with 1mm travel for better typing than ever on iPad.
The Magic Keyboard includes a USB-C port that allows you to charge iPad Pro and frees up the device's USB-C port for connecting external hard drives, monitors, and other accessories.
The entire trackpad surface of the Magic Keyboard can be clicked and pressed to comfortably navigate the iPad with even greater precision. Therefore, the iPad Pro becomes an even more versatile and efficient tool.
