Marques Brownlee reviews Apple’s new M1-powered iPad Pro — the fastest device of its kind. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro features a new Liquid Retina XDR display that brings extreme dynamic range to iPad Pro, offering a stunning visual experience with more true-to-life details to the most demanding HDR workflows. Cellular models with 5G deliver even faster wireless connectivity when on the go, Thunderbolt support opens up a massive ecosystem of high-performance accessories, and an all-new Ultra Wide front camera enables Center Stage, a new experience for video calls that automatically keeps users perfectly framed in the shot.
And, don’t forget, for a limited time, customers can buy an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular directly from apple.com or at an Apple Store and get up to $200 back when they activate it with AT&T, T-Mobile/Sprint, or Verizon.
Now, the A12X and the A12Z were already Apple-designed silicon for the iPad, so while we know M1 is a different breed, since it’s also Apple-designed silicon it’d be tempting to think, “Maybe that’s not that big of a jump. Like, those chips were made for the iPad, how good could M1 be?”
Uh, that’d be wrong. This is a massive performance leap forward.”
MacDailyNews Take: Marques is getting closer to giving up his MacBook Pro for an iPad Pro. (And Apple wins either way!)
Mine shows up day after tomorrow! Looking forward to its arrival!
Been an iPad user from the start and a major proponent of it as a one’s primary, goto platform from the start….…. last 6-7 years ‘exclusively’ on 12.9 pros.
Cant wait for the M1 12.9 as it will be a massive leap forward BUT only if iPadOS keeps up and does not limit the massive potential of its power.! We shall find out at WWDC! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
