From Apple:
Cellular models with 5G deliver even faster wireless connectivity when on the go, and to provide users with pro-level throughput for high-speed accessories, iPad Pro now includes support for Thunderbolt. Additionally, an all-new Ultra Wide front camera enables Center Stage, a new feature that automatically keeps users perfectly framed for even more engaging video calls.
The new iPad Pro has 40% faster graphics performance than last year‘s pro model, according to Apple. Alongside the 40% faster graphics, it also features low power video playback support, as well as a new Ultrawide camera and a TrueDepth Camera with improved ISP. The new 12.9” features a mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR Display, with a 1000 nit peak brightness. The iPad Pro will now also support thunderbolt connection and USB 4, something users have been wanting for a while. With the new Thunderbolt connection, you can do things pretty much instantaneously, Apple said.
The iPad Pro now supports 5G connectivity on the cellular models, a first in the iPad range. Alongside the new iPad Pro, Apple announced an update to Apple Scribble and a new iPad Magic Keyboard color. The 11” iPad Pro starts at $799, while the 12.9” iPad Pro starts at $1099. They will be available on April 30th.
