The iPad Pro Gets a Fresh M2 Makeover (and a Pencil that Wows)
Apple’s just dropped an updated line of iPad Pro units powered by the shiny new M2 chip. From the familiar 11‑inch to the slick 12.9‑inch, the devices come packed with Apple Pencil hover, ProRes video capture, and Wi‑Fi 6E that’s twice as fast as the last generation.
Chip‑Talk: Why the New M2 Is a Game‑Changer
- CPU/GPU Powerhouse: 8‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, 40 % faster than the old M1.
- ML Geniuses: Built‑in brains for smooth machine‑learning tasks.
- Big‑Data Lovers: The speed lift means your apps run like a well‑oiled machine.
Apple Pencil Hover—The Future Is Nearly Here
With the 2nd‑gen Apple Pencil, the screen can detect the tip up to 12 mm above it, so you’ll see a preview of what you’re about to draw before you even touch the glass. Great for artists, note‑takers, or anyone who likes precision.
- Scribble Upgrade: Text fields expand automatically as the Pencil hovers.
- App‑Ready: Developers can tap into this feature for fresh drawing experiences.
Display Dilemma: Which iPad Pro Has the Better Screen?
- 12.9‑inch: Liquid Retina XDR – mini‑LED brilliance for crisp, vibrant visuals.
- 11‑inch: Standard Liquid Retina – bright and lively but with regular backlight.
Every model supports the hover‑capable Pencil, so you get a slick experience no matter the size.
Pro Camera System—Shoot Like a Pro
- Wide Lens: 12 MP Wide + 10 MP Ultra‑Wide.
- Zoom Flex: 2× optical, 5× digital.
