iPad Pro with M1: Watch Apple's full reveal with accessories By CNET

That's right, the m1 chip is not just in the mac. It's now in iPad Pro, and it's going to blow you away. iPad pro has always used turbocharged versions of our a series chips to deliver a powerful and responsive experience. That's years ahead of anything else, m1 continues that momentum, by taking it to an entirely new level, with a big jump in performance to run powerful, apps and drive a high performance ecosystem for m1 to fit into its incredibly thin and light design requires power efficiency that's way beyond just being better. It has to be amazing and m1 delivers and because m1 shares the same fundamental architecture of a series chips. IPadOS is already built to take full advantage of its powerful technology.

The next level performance that m1 unlocks on iPad Pro starts with its powerful CPU built around the world's fastest CPU core in low power. Silicon, the 8 core design of m1 delivers a whopping 50 jumps over the industry-leading performance of the previous iPad. Pro. What's amazing is that compared to the first generation iPad, this iPad Pro now delivers up to 75 times faster CPU performance. It's no wonder: apps are pushing the limits of what's possible on iPad from blazing performance for vector and raster tools in affinity designer to rendering the most detailed designs with shaper 3d to adding complex effects to 4k videos in suffusion, iPad's expansive display comes bursting to life with m1's amazing, graphics performance.

The 8 core GPU is in a class of its own, delivering up to 40 percent, faster graphics performance again compared to the first generation iPad. Get ready for this. The graphics of this new iPad Pro is now over 1500 times faster. That's just ridiculous, so painting with watercolors and oils and adobe fresco, look and feel like the real thing, and you can bring the most intricate AR models into the real world with jig space. You can also play the latest games with console quality graphics at super high frame rates.

This raw performance, along with the pro motion, display four speakers and now support for the latest. PlayStation or Xbox game controllers with haptics, makes playing games on iPad Pro insanely fun. With this combination of CPU and graphics performance, the new iPad Pro is yet again the fastest device of its kind. It's not even close, but it's bigger than that, because powerful custom technologies, like our latest 16 core apple neural engines, advanced image, signal, processor and unified high bandwidth memory architecture, make iPad Pro more capable than ever, and the industry-leading power efficiency of m1 enables all of that amazing performance along with all-day battery life in the incredibly thin and light design of iPad Pro. The new iPad Pro also allows users to access their content faster than ever with up to two times faster storage and for our most demanding users.

A new two terabyte configuration gives you enormous storage capacity, so you can keep up to sixty thousand pro raw photos at your fingertips or up to 220 hours of 4k HDR video content with you, wherever you go, m1 brings much faster connectivity to iPad Pro as well. The USB port already supports superfast data transfers, and now we're adding thunderbolt with usb4 support as well, making it the fastest most versatile port ever on an iPad or any other device of its kind. Not only is there four times more bandwidth for wired connections up to 40 gigabits per second thunderbolt also opens up a massive ecosystem of high performance accessories. Like superfast storage, external displays, like the Pro Display XDR now at its full 6k resolution and all connected using high performance cables and docks iPad. Pro now fits perfectly into so many more workflows now on a mobile device like iPad Pro ultra-fast wireless connections are absolutely critical and that's why we've added 5g to iPad Pro accessing files, collaborating with colleagues and backing up data, are fundamental when you're on the go.

This is huge superfast 5g, cellular connections lets users be creative and productive wherever they are download speeds can be as high as 3.5 gigabits per second in ideal conditions. Of course, 5g speeds will vary by carrier and region in the US. iPad pro also supports millimeter wave, the high frequency version of 5g and, with this model, iPad Pro can reach up to 4 gigabits per second peak download speeds in ideal conditions. So, no matter where your work takes, you can live stream from wherever you are. This is sharia reporting from San Francisco.

First off, I want to congratulate everybody, and you never have to miss a meeting on your way to work. It was on mute, sorry, uh. I want to congratulate the blazing speeds of 5g. Allow you to do just about anything just about anywhere and there's more iPad's. Versatility is further enhanced by its pro cameras and to tell you more here's, Fiona customers, love taking stunning photos and videos on their iPad and with powerful apps.

These advanced cameras enable so much more like video capture for mobile journalists and content creators, especially with the built-in studio quality mics on iPad Pro and with the LIDAR scanner. They pave the way to completely new workflows, like motion tracking, with cam track AR super accurate depth. Data makes going from green screen to pre-visualization on location easier than ever, and you can build that final render, with greater confidence or how designers and architects visualize their projects with Archie on site at full scale, complete with people, occlusion, realistic shadows and real-time lighting, or to simply bring your imagination to life. Check out this new version of clips, which uses the LIDAR scanner to transform your living room into a magical space for your next video. How fun is that and with the more powerful ISP and m1, we get smart hdr3 where the ISP and the neural engine work together to adjust color contrast and noise in distinct parts of a photo and in low-light conditions.

The ISP and LIDAR scanner quickly and accurately focus images and videos to capture incredible details from almost no light at all. On the front. The true depth camera instantly and securely unlocks iPad with face ID and takes portrait selfies, which look amazing on that large display, and now more than ever, it plays an important role when collaborating with co-workers and connecting with family and friends. So in the new iPad Pro we're going to take a huge step forward by updating the true depth camera system to include an all-new ultra white camera designed specifically for iPad. It features a new 12 megapixel sensor with a 122 degree field of view, which enables something really cool, and we call it center stage.

Center stage uses the new ultra-wide camera and machine learning to recognize and keep you in the center of the view. What's amazing is, as you move around, it automatically pans to keep you in the shop and that's not all when others join in. It recognizes them too and zooms out to fit everyone into the view, so, whether it's a whiteboarding session with co-workers or a family get-together, the experience of connecting is now more engaging than ever. So that's the new ultra-wide camera with center stage. Video calls.

Never look so good. Now, back to Raja iPad is a magical sheet of glass that can become anything you want it to be, and the centerpiece of that experience on iPad Pro is its stunning, liquid retina display, which features a long list of advanced display technologies. Many that we've pioneered on iPad, we introduced it as the world's most advanced mobile display. The liquid retina display delivers nearly 4 million pixels on the 11-inch iPad, pro users love being able to take the most powerful iPad experience with them everywhere. In a portable one-pound design on the immersive 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it delivers an enormous 5.6 million pixels. This is for those who want the biggest window for their creative workflows, and we have some exciting news here.

We know our users are increasingly creating content with the high brightness and high contrast ratio of HDR, so we first equipped creative users with the Pro Display XDR to view and edit their content. This amazing display delivers extremely high brightness and an extremely high contrast ratio, and now we're going to take the next big step, we're bringing the stunning front of screen performance of our Pro Display XDR to our 12.9-inch iPad Pro, so our users can take their Dr workflow wherever they go. This is the new liquid retina MTR display, and it delivers a thousand nits of full screen. Brightness, a breathtaking 1600 nits of peak brightness and a phenomenal 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, just like Pro Display XDR now, due to the ultra-thin design of iPad Pro compared to the Pro Display XDR. We had to take an entirely new approach to make this happen.

So to tell you all about it, here's Heidi extreme dynamic range is all about delivering a visual experience that reflects what we see in the real world. This means seeing the brightest highlights, along with subtle details in the darkest parts of an image. Bringing the Dr experience to iPad Pro was an enormous challenge. We had to rethink how the display creates light, so we went back to the drawing board to achieve way higher brightness. We used an array of LEDs across the entire back of the display, similar to the Pro Display XDR and to fit within the ultra-thin iPad Pro design.

These LEDs need to be incredibly small, so we developed a mini led, which is over 120 times smaller in volume than the previous design, and because these mini LEDs are so small. Achieving extremely high brightness requires lots of them, and I mean thousands of them. In fact, there are over 10 000 LEDs that deliver Dr level brightness on that stunning 12.9 inch display that's a massive increase over the 72 LEDs that were in the previous iPad Pro. We then grouped these mini LEDs into over 2500 local dimming zones. So, depending on the content, we can precisely adjust the brightness in each zone.

The result is an extremely high one million to one contrast ratio. The light is then shaped by a series of incredibly thin custom designed optical films and diffusers, and that's why this display can fit into a design. That's just 6.4 millimeters thin weighs just 1.5 pounds and still delivers all-day battery life. So HDR content with the finest specular highlights like galaxies and star fields, is more true to life than ever. We're thrilled to deliver the Dr experience on the new iPad Pro back to Raja.

There's never been a display that delivers this kind of visual experience on any other mobile device. So users can now do things they could never do before. Videographers have a large Dr display. They can take with them everywhere and edit true to life. HDR content using suffusion photographers can see even more detail when editing their images right on iPad using Lightroom and filmmakers can more confidently review and approve HDR content with frame Io previewing it as it's meant to be seen from anywhere on the set and everyone can enjoy a mobile cinematic.

Viewing and listening experience with support for HDR video formats like hdr10, hog and Dolby Vision, and the advanced sound system supports Dolby Atmos as well. So this is our new 12.9 inch, liquid retina Dr display with this amazing set of features. It goes beyond any display in the world, and we couldn't wait to put the new iPad Pro with all of its advanced new technologies in the hands of our developers. Check out what happened when we did all right.
