Groundbreaking iPad Pro

The new thin and light iPad Pro comes in two sizes: an expansive 13-inch model and a super-portable 11-inch model. Both sizes feature the world's most advanced display - a new breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display with state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology - providing a remarkable visual experience. The new iPad Pro is made possible with the new M4 chip, the next generation of Apple silicon, which delivers a huge leap in performance and capabilities with an entirely new display engine to enable the precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. With a new CPU, a next-generation GPU that builds upon the GPU architecture debuted on M3, and the most powerful Neural Engine yet, the new iPad Pro is a powerhouse for AI.1 In fact, the Neural Engine in M4 is more powerful than any neural processing unit in any AI PC today. The 12MP back camera captures vibrant Smart HDR images and video with even better color, improved textures, and detail in low light. It also now offers a new adaptive True Tone flash that makes document scanning on the new iPad Pro better than ever.

Versatile New Accessories

The iPad Air and iPad Pro experiences are better than ever with all-new accessories. With advanced features like barrel roll, haptic feedback, and squeeze, Apple Pencil Pro allows users to bring their ideas to life in entirely new ways, and developers can also create their own custom interactions. Apple Pencil Pro also brings support for Find My for the first time to Apple Pencil, helping users locate Apple Pencil Pro if misplaced. It pairs, charges, and is stored on the side of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro through a new magnetic interface. iPad Air and iPad Pro also support Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more, at an incredible value.

With the new lineup, each iPad model now has two great Apple Pencil options. The new iPad Air and iPad Pro work with the most advanced Apple Pencil Pro and affordable Apple Pencil (USB-C). iPad mini supports Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and iPad (10th generation) works with Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C).

The all-new thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro includes a function row for quick access to convenient features like screen brightness, and a gorgeous aluminum palm rest and larger trackpad that's even more responsive with haptic feedback - so the entire experience feels just like using MacBook.
