Not long ago, iFixit disassembled the 2024 model year 13-inch iPad Pro (256GB version), revealing that the tablet is equipped with a 12GB capacity memory chip, but Apple blocked 4GB, so users can only use 8GB of RAM.
The iPad Pro 2024 is Apple's latest generation of tablets and the most powerful tablet ever, not only with an OLED screen, but also with an M4 processor for the first time. However, it is expensive - 11-inch from 8999 yuan, 13-inch from 11499 yuan, and the knife is more ruthless, 256GB, 512GB version of the memory is only 8GB, 4GB less than the high-end version, at the same time, the M4 chip has also been stabbed, and the performance core has been reduced by one.
According to iFixit's teardown, this is an iPad Pro with 8GB of memory equipped with two Z8DMS (MT62F768M64D4AS-026 XT:B) memory chips from Micron, which is a 768Mbit×64 (48Gbit) that is, 6GB capacity memory chip, using VBGA package, specification LPDDR5-7500. That is to say, the iPad Pro disassembled by iFixit has 12GB of memory in the physical sense, but the 4GB memory is shielded by Apple at the software layer, and it is not sure whether all iPad Pro 2024 are equipped with 12GB of memory, but seeing this case undoubtedly strengthens the impression of Apple's knife accuracy.
Since the release of the new iPad, it has been controversial, the high price is one of the factors, and the product features are also full of slots, for example, the new iPad Pro cannot absorb the second generation of Apple Pencil, iPad Air is not only the ancestral 60Hz LCD screen, but also the 13-inch version weighs 618g, which is heavier than the iPad Pro of the same size, not Air at all. And Huawei released a new Mate Pad series of tablets at the same time, although the latter does not use OLED, but the price is affordable, the configuration is not bad, and it is equipped with a natural ability to drawAPP, the function is no worse than Apple, and the cost performance of the new iPad is instantly compared.
