People like me who always keep an eye for the next big thing in the IT were anxiously anticipating the release of iPad Pro with the M4 chip. I have to tell you, the new Apple iPad Pro 2024 with state of the art M4 chip did not disappoint me. IT has to be recognized as the game changer moments for iPads as well as the microchip processors.
The groundbreaking Apple M4 chip under the hood for iPad Pro 2024 is the most special thing for this latest iPad. With the seamless multitasking and amazing graphics, iPad Pro 2024 is a power house, not just a tablet. Apple is not playing the catch-up, they are leading the pack.
So what do I love the most about iPad Pro 2024, well it’s still early days but I am already enthralled by it sleek design, new upgrades in the display and of course the M4 chip performance. Let’s dig a little deep in to what iPad Pro 2024 M4 feels like.
Design and Build: Thinnest Form Factor to Date:
You would probably know already that there are two iPad Pro 2024 models released, the 11 inch and the bigger 13 inch. Let start my iPad Pro 2024 review by telling you what did I feel holding it for the first time? Well holding the 11 inch iPad Pro 2024 felt like a thick sleek design build aesthetically. The 13-inch model completely blew my mind at astonishing 5.1mm it is probably the thinnest device.
The beautiful and comfortable design of the iPad Pro 2024 helped me do the stuff even when I was on the move. I could work on my project in the coffee shop. I could see through my email during commute. It always gave me a feeling of a perfect companion who is always there for me.
It has already integrated into my daily life seamlessly, for that I am grateful.
iPad Pro 2024 Weight : Comfort and convenience
Another great aspect that really caught my attention is the weight of iPad Pro 2024. Holding up the iPad Pro 2024 11 inches, I was amazed at how light it feels. It weighs less than a pond. Even the 13-inch model felt quarter pond lighter than its predecessor.
This weight reduction gives me convenience as well as the comfort. I could use and carry it around for hours without feeling any strain. Light weight helps me hold and maneuver it easily while I am watching videos, working on project, reading through articles.
The slim and lightweight built enhances the user experience greatly.
iPad Pro 2024 Color Options:
As I further look into the new iPad Pro 2024, with decent color options, I feel every aspect of its design is very much covered by Apple. The new iPad Pro 2024 is available in two sophisticated colors, Silver and the space Black.
The classic silver variant of iPad Pro 2024 gives a premium, stylish look. It almost resembles white in some lighting conditions. The best thing about the sliver is that it never goes out of fashion, almost makes a statement wherever it goes.
Talking about the sophisticated Space Black option, it gives a serious and more focused look. Those who mean business would always love it.
Another thing that impresses me about both these colors is that they integrate comfortably with the slim sleek design of iPad Pro 2024.
Every aspect, from the frame to the camera bump, received careful painting to ensure a unified and elegant appearance seamlessly integrating within the beautiful and comfortable design.
Durability, Sustainability, and Portability: The Essence of iPad Pro 2024:
One of the most astonishing things about these new iPad Pros is that there is no compromise on durability despite of sleek profile and lightweight build. Both models are strong and robust boosting 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosures, just like the predecessors.
Isn’t it a great feeling that I am contributing to the environment conservation if I know that my iPad Pro 2024 is made up with recycled material. Moreover I can take this new iPad Pro 2024 with me wherever I go as I know the design is powerful and sustainable enough to carry around easily.
Evolving technology, these days, apparently seems to be focusing more on performance than the durability and sustainability of the new devices. In the case of iPad Pro 2024, that is for sure, not true. It is portable, durable, and sustainable without any compromise on the performance.
Display Enhancements: Transition to OLED Panels:
The iPad Pro 2024 has the distinction of being the first iPad released with OLED display technology. The new Retina XDR displays have graced both the 11-inch and 13-inch new iPad Pro models. The coolest move from the previous LCD and mini-LED displays.
This transition to the OLED has revolutionized the visual experience in the new iPad Pro. Now you see the world with rich, more immersive and new light. The difference is intense with deeper black to more vibrant, improved colors and contrasts.
With the introduction of OLED display, apple has shown commitment for better, more efficient display quality, not just the aesthetics. Additionally this user experience also comes with extended battery life for iPad Pro, which is absolutely insane.
Brightness and Color Accuracy:
Digging further down into the display aesthetics, I want to share that I was dazzled by brightness of 1000 nits for SDR content and around 1600 nits for HDR content in the full screen mode.
I was amazed by how the screen showed tiny details in shadows and dim lit scenes.
I feel that the new iPad Pro 2024 is now the standard for brilliance and clarity. It has the capacity to deliver stunning visuals in addition to delivering the promises on performance and efficiency.
Note: iPad Pro 2024 is poised to deliver top brightness level but you may witness slight variations in the brightness some times, especially when you are viewing HDR content across the entire iPad Pro screen. You are therefore advised to keep in mind these cool specifications with a sharp eye.
Tandem OLED Technology:
Another Good thing I want to bring to your notice is that the new iPad Pro 2024 also comes with groundbreaking tandem OLED technology. In case you are wondering what it is, it is the revolutionary approach in which two OLED panels stacked on top of each other. So you have not the OLED only but the tandem tech with double panel. It gives iPad Pro display the ability to control each color pixel luminance which results in splendid highlights appearing brighter, while shadows displaying more in depth details.
The best thing about the tandem OLED doesn’t lie in improved visuals only but also in its ability to be very responsive in motion content.
With this new tandem OLED I feel that my videos and photos have come to life with vibrant colors and clarity.
Nano-texture Glass Option:
In case you are someone who needs improved performance in different light conditions, apple has got you covered with nano-texture glass option in its new iPad Pro 2024.
What this cool feature does is that it uses tiny etchings on the screen to reduce glare, making it easier to see without any compromise in the original image quality.
If you are a photo editor or someone who uses devices in bright outdoor settings, nano-texture glass can maintain vibrant color with intricate details and also with rich black levels.
May be I am going a little too technical if you a common user but I can’t resist to tell you another good thing. If you are an artist is or illustrator with some natural or immersive drawing experience, this nano-texture glass produces a tactical sensation when you are using Apple Pencil. This makes you feel more like you’re drawing on paper or a textured surface rather than a smooth screen, so get your experience more enjoyable, natural and satisfying.
Note: Please consider, there is a slight trade-off in top brightness compared to glossy models, not a problem if you prefer a glare-free viewing; this minor drawback is negligible, i just want cover every detail and aspect.
M4 Chip’s Enhanced Capabilities:
The best thing about this aesthetically built look and feel is that It wasn’t achieved compromising on the performance. In fact iPad Pro 2024 offers ever better performance. The credit goes to the introduction of the M4 chip in the iPad Pro 2024. What this means is that you are going to get an extraordinary 48% jump in multi-core benchmark scores as compared to its predecessor, the M2 iPad Pro, as revealed by the recent GeekBench test results.
The M4 chip is manufactured using the 3 nm second generation technology. This M4 chip is not only efficient in performance, it is also power efficient. It comes with 16-core neural engine capable of an astonishing 38 trillion operations per second. This means that the M4 chip can deliver 50 % faster CPU performance and 4X GPU performances compared to the predecessor. So the things are doubled down with the latest iPad Pros.
Performance Benchmarks:
M4 iPad Pro 2024 has already shown its power in the latest GeekBench 6 Benchmark test results. It was tested in scenarios like high resource demanding games and multitasking.
The new M4 iPad Pro showed amazing single and multi-core scores of 3,764 and 14,586, respectively. These astronomical results outshine nearly every laptop tested during past six months (while it was released) as well as the models with the well-regarded M3 chips. So it showed unprecedented performance against the rivals, predecessors and very much against the most elite class laptops in the market.
As I look into these findings, I’m left in awe of the sheer power and versatility that the iPad Pro 2024 brings to the table. It very much solidifies its position as a power house in its class.
Energy Efficiency:
Another great aspect I felt about is these M4 chips is that they are energy efficient despite delivering remarkable performance. This means that iPad Pro 2024 has equally efficient battery compared to the predecessors. It can deliver up to 10 hours web browsing or video watching experience. Also note that this performance is delivered with a thinner and lighter design, so you can hold it with you for hours and hours.
Potential for Future Software Updates:
Looking into the future of M4 chip, I can safely say that it has capacity to unravel new horizons with the artificial intelligence innovation, which is the corner stone of Apple’s M4 chip. Apple was lagging behind the competitors in in AI field. With Neural engine architecture and ML accelerators in the new M4 chips, Apple has very much covered the AI drawback.
This enables iPad Pro M4 to handle AI tasks and performing at lightning speed in highly resource incentive operations like isolating subject from background in 4k video easily.
Overall, the future is bright with the iPad Pro M4 offering high CPU/GPU performance, wider memory and of course the AI for future software compatibility.
Accessories:
Now lets discuss about the accessories that accompany this new iPad Pro 2024.
Apple Pencil Pro:
iPad Pro 2024 has yet another debut item to excite me and that is the Apple Pencil Pro. It comes with a new sensor used to detect what user squeezes, color adjustment and much more.
Additionally it provides precise control and feedback with the help of custom haptic engine and gyroscope.
Reflecting on the Apple Pencil Pro, I am particularly excited, thinking about the immense options it provides for creative professionals. So you have new ways of interacting with devices, almost the beginning of a new era with new Apple Pencil Pro.
Note: It is to be noted that Apple Pencil Pro is not compatible with other devices yet. It is designed for the new iPad Pro M4 only, for now.
Magic Keyboard Improvements:
Going on with my exploration, I found that the new Magic Keyboard in the new iPad Pro 2024 is yet another effort to increase the user experience.
With its blend of convenience and functionality, it remains a compelling accessory for iPad Pro users seeking productivity on the go.
The Magic Keyboard is all about convenience with function, making it an attractive accessory for iPad Pro users who want to stay productive while on the move.
The Magic Keyboard is an attractive iPad Pro accessory, it is versatile and portable integrating very well with the thinner and lighter iPad Pro 2024. It also has a bigger track pad that vibrates when you touch it, giving you a MacBook type of feeling.
Connectivity:
Connectivity is a very important factor to consider while analyzing the overall usage of the device. Lets see what upgrades do we have for the connectivity.
Ports:
Just like many other aspects, connectivity in iPad Pro 2024 has also gone through a substantial upgrade. You have USB 4, Thunderbolt 3 and the classic USB-C connector as well.
