From PC Mag: Apple today updated its iPad Pro with the M1 chip and 5G connectivity.
The 8-core CPU in the company's business-focused tablet is 50% faster than its predecessor, the A12Z Bionic, while the 8-core GPU gets a 40% bump, Apple says. As PCMag's Sascha Segan notes, "Putting an M1 chip into the iPad Pro makes it equal in power with the latest Macs. A true power PC, if you will."
The iPad Pro now supports Thunderbolt for super-fast data transfers. Expect four times more bandwidth for wired connections over the last-gen iPad Pro—up to 40Gbps, Apple says.
The updated iPad Pro will be available for pre-order on April 30, starting at $799 for the 11-inch model and $1,099 for the 12.9-inch tablet. Storage options now go up to 2TB.
Apple talked up the visual experience on the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which sports a Liquid Retina XDR display similar to that found on the Apple Pro Display XDR. Its mini-LED design uses over 10,000 LEDs for 1,000 nits of brightness and 1,600 nits of peak brightness.
