Apple has officially unveiled the new generation of iPad Pro, with striking changes to the devices. This year's iPad Pro levels up as it features the M1 processor, the same one we find on Macs, leaving aside the iPhone processors.

The company announced that the new iPad Pro offers a tremendous improvement in performance compared to the previous generation, with a performance jump by 50% while the graphics performance is more than 1500 times faster. The USB-C port supports Thunderbolt and the iPad's port is ready for USB 4.0. Apple, also, is venturing into the 5G network with the iPad Pro.

During the presentation of the devices, it was presented two sizes, 11.0 '' and 12.9 '', with the latter bringing a revolution at the screen level, since the new generation Liquid Retina XDR with 10,000 MiniLED offers an average brightness of 1000nits (maximum 1600nits) and contrast 1,000,000: 1. Apple repeatedly underlined that the viewing experience will be an unprecedented event for the users.

Additionally, in the new iPad Pro, we will find four speakers, the LiDAR scanner on the rear camera with new features, but also the new front FaceTime camera that supports Face ID function and has a 12MP sensor with a wide-angle lens.

The new iPad Pro with 11-inch display starts from 799 dollars, for the larger model with 12.9-inch display prices will be due from 1,099 dollars and they are expected to be available from May.
