2024 iPad Pro with Compatibility for the Apple Pencil Pro, OLED Panel, and M4 Chip Announced
At the Let Loose event, Apple also revealed the fourth generation iPad Pro in addition to the sixth generation iPad Air with an M2 chip included. The new iPad Pro’s main selling point is that it has Apple’s most recent M4 chip.
The fourth-generation iPad Pro is powered by the M4 chip, which represents a major improvement in performance and efficiency using a second-generation 3nm node. The M4 has a CPU that is 1.5 times quicker than its predecessor, the M2, and can significantly accelerate graphics operations by up to 4 times. Impressively, the efficiency has doubled, meaning that the M4 can perform at the same level as the M2 while using half the power. Here are some further details about the 2024 iPad Pro specs.
