The iPad – and iPadOS – is changing. Apple’s new iPad Pro features
a multi-lens system camera, and iPadOS adds support for trackpads,
including Apple’s great new keyboard.
It’s here at last, and it’s looking amazing. Released in March
2020, the latest addition to Apple’s iPad range is the most
powerful yet, an awesome update to the iPad Pro. Some
things are unchanged from the previous generation. Once
again, it comes in two sizes, with 11-inch and 12.9-inch
screens. It, once more, features an edge-to-edge screen
with no Home button and unlocks with Face ID. It also has
a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port for charging and
connectivity. But if some things remain the same, there’s also

The latest iPad Pro is the most powerful Apple tablet yet. Its
eight-core A12Z Bionic Chip features an eight-core graphics
processor, making it ideal for power-hungry tasks such as
editing 4K video or designing 3D models, and its processing
power is augmented by an enhanced thermal architecture
and tuned performance controllers, so it won’t overheat and
throttle performance while you’re carrying out particularly
demanding jobs.
Machine learning is likely to be the next big thing in
computing, and for this, there’s the Apple-designed Neural
Engine. This powers next-generation apps, which can
perform all sorts of tasks that simply wouldn’t be possible
without machine learning. According to Apple, the eight-
core A12Z Bionic Chip and its Neural Engine make the new
iPad Pro faster and more powerful than most Windows
PC laptops.
Connectivity has improved too. Wi-Fi Internet connectivity
is faster than before, and if you buy the version of the iPad
Pro with a cellular connection as well as Wi-Fi, this is up to
60% faster too.
Thankfully, all this extra power doesn’t take a toll on
battery life. It lasts for up to ten hours on a single charge; you
can use your iPad Pro all day without recharging.

The new iPad Pro introduces advanced
technologies never before available in mobile
computing. Combining the most advanced mobile
display with powerful performance, pro cameras,
pro audio, the breakthrough LiDAR Scanner and
new Magic Keyboard with Trackpad, this is another
huge leap forward for iPad.
