Apple held a relatively short and sweet event for iPads about a month ago where they refreshed the iPad Pro and iPad Air lineup. Both of them have now officially arrived in Nepal as well. And in this article, we'll be going through the features, specifications, availability, and the latest official price of the Apple iPad Pro M4 (2024).

Apple iPad Pro M4 Overview

M4 madness

One of the headlining features of the new 11” and 13” iPad Pros for 2024 is definitely the M4 chip inside. Apple decided to skip the M3 for these devices and jumped straight from M2 to M4 making the iPad Pros the first products to sport the new Apple Silicion.  M4 is based on the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm node and brings improved efficiency alongside a separate display engine for the tandem OLED screens which we’ll talk about in a bit. It has industry-leading performance per watt and can dish out the same power as an M2 iPad Pro with half the energy. It also brings major bumps to speed promising up to 1.5x faster CPU performance and up to a 4x better GPU. The neural engine inside the iPad is also the most powerful one thus far and promises up to 38 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second).

Brightest and thinnest iPad ever 

As I said earlier, the new iPad Pros sport entirely new tandem OLED screens where two layers of OLED are used for improved brightness, range, and precision. Apple boasts 1000 nits of all-screen brightness for SDR and up to a whopping 1600 nits peak for HDR. This new technology has also allowed them to level up XDR precision with sub-millisecond control over the color and luminance of individual pixels. Besides that, you get smooth 120Hz ProMotion, wide P3 colors, and True Tone. Apple also introduced its "Nano-textured" glass which provides a glare-free experience without compromising image quality and contrast for an additional 100 dollars.

We also get to see a redesign of the casing. The new 11” iPad Pro measures just 5.3mm thin while the 13” model is the thinnest Apple product ever at 5.1mm thickness. The iPads are also lighter than their predecessors weighing just 444 (11”)  and 579 (13”) grams. Compared to the iPad Pro 12.9”, the new 13” model with M4  is more than 100 grams lighter offering superior portability options.

Accessories and Extras

Alongside the iPad, we also got to see complementary accessories. There’s a new Apple Pencil Pro with haptic feedback and a new Magic Keyboard with a function row, larger trackpad, and aluminum build.  The rear houses a 12MP camera with a LiDar scanner, and adaptive "True Tone" flash inside a rectangular island. The camera on the front is also re-located to the landscape orientation like the iPad Air. There are a total of 4 speakers and 4 microphones spread across the device and now the base storage configuration has been bumped up to 256GB.
