After releasing the new iPhone 15 series in September last year, Apple held a new press conference again today, bringing three new products in one go, namely two new iPads and Apple Pencil (Apple Pencil). Among them, iPad Air is a regular upgrade, and there are not many highlights. The most important new product is the new iPad Pro, which has shocked the entire tech circle
The new iPad Pro is available in two variants, 11-inch and 13-inch in size, with an ultra-thin 5.3mm and 5.1mm thickness, and a 100% recycled aluminium case. And it is also Apple's first tablet with an OLED screen. But it's different from ordinary OLED screens
The breakthrough double-layer series OLED technology realizes the ultra-precise retina XDR display effect, with a full-screen brightness of 1000nits, an HDR peak brightness of up to 1600nits, a contrast ratio of 2000000:1, and support for 10-120Hz ProMotion adaptive refresh. Nano-textured glass panels are available to reduce glare and maintain image quality and contrast
Compared with the shock brought by the double-layer OLED screen and ultra-thin body, the real main dish of the new iPad Pro is the M4 chip it is equipped with for the first time, and the specifications and performance are unprecedented! It is based on the second-generation 3nm process technology and has up to a 10-core CPU (4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores) and a 10-core GPU
Compared with the M2 of the previous iPad Pro, the performance is up to 50% faster, the 3D rendering performance is up to 4 times faster, and the NPU neural engine can perform 38 trillion calculations per second, which is half the power consumption of the M2, compared to the new generation of PC chips, the power consumption of the M4 is only a quarter of it. The dynamic caching feature improves graphics performance when apps and games are greatly improved
It also supports hardware-accelerated mesh coloring and ray tracing,Apple said that M4 is currently the most powerful processor on the mobile side,Compared with the performance of any competing competitors, it is like a crushing existence,Even for PC-level flagship chips,It also has leading performance and excellent power consumption and energy efficiency ratio of dimensionality reduction
In terms of price, the 11-inch new iPad Pro started at 8999 yuan, and the 13-inch 2T storage superimposed top version is as high as about 23000 yuan, and the price is staggering. However, even with such a high price, it is difficult to resist the enthusiasm of the Chinese people, less than 2 hours after the new iPad was launched on the domestic platform today, the number of reservations exceeded 10,000, and the hot search on major platforms was basically occupied by the new iPad.
