Apple 12.9" iPad Pro M1 Chip (Mid 2021, 1TB, Wi-Fi + 5G LTE, Space Gray)

Experience the next level of ultimate with the space gray Apple 12.9" iPad Pro, which features performance that is supercharged by Apple's M1 8-Core chip with an 8-Core GPU and a 16-Core Neural Engine, a Liquid Retina XDR display, 5G wireless and Wi-Fi 6 ( 802.11 ax), a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage, and 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt connectivity. All of this helps turn your iPad into a true portable powerhouse that can double as a performance and production studio, as it is can deliver all-day battery life, as well as the power needed to build intricate AR models, play games with console-quality graphics at high frame rates, and more.

The iPad Pro's Liquid Retina XDR display features the same XDR technology found on Apple's Pro Display XDR and has a 2732 x 2048 resolution, the P3 wide color gamut, ProMotion support with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 1, 000, 000:1 contrast ratio, and True Tone for comfortable viewing. There is also 600 nits of max brightness for SDR content, as well as 1000 nits of max full-screen brightness and 1600 nits of peak brightness for HDR content. On the front, Apple has introduced a 12MP Ultra Wide Camera with Center Stage, which uses the 12MP Ultra Wide 1080p camera and machine learning to automatically pan, zoom, expand, and actively adjust the frame during video calls, whether it's just you or multiple participants.

On the rear, there are 12MP Wide and 10MP Ultra Wide cameras for 4K, Full HD, and multi-cam filmmaking with Smart HDR 3. The LiDAR scanner is retained, which determines distance by determining light reflection and further readies possibilities for augmented reality and beyond.

Apple has also equipped the iPad Pro with 1TB of storage and 16GB RAM, plus a 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt port with a USB Type-C interface for driving displays, including the Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution, as well as external storage and docks. Moving to the audio side of things, the iPad Pro retains its five studio-quality mics and delivers theater-like sound and support for Dolby Atmos with four-speaker audio. Also carried over from previous models is support for a trackpad, Apple's Pencil (2nd Gen), Smart Keyboard Folio, and the Magic Keyboard.

Wi-Fi 6 ( 802.11 ax) ensures a fast Wi-Fi connection, and 5G LTE will allow network connectivity when Wi-Fi is not available, so long as you have a separately-sold data plan.

This iPad comes preloaded with iPadOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

General Features
M1 Chip
With M1, the iPad Pro is the fastest device of its kind. It's designed to take full advantage of next-level performance and custom technologies like the advanced image signal processor and unified memory architecture of M1. And with the incredible power efficiency of M1, iPad Pro is still thin and light with all-day battery life of up to 10 hours, making it as portable as it is powerful.
Faster Performance and Graphics
The 8-core CPU of M1 delivers up to 50% faster performance. And M1 has an 8-core GPU in a class of its own, providing up to 40% faster graphics performance to the iPad Pro. So you can build intricate AR models, play games with console-quality graphics at high frame rates, and more.
12.9" Liquid Retina XDR Display with Extreme Dynamic Range
The Liquid Retina XDR display delivers true-to-life detail with a 1, 000, 000:1 contrast ratio, which is great for viewing and editing HDR photos and videos or enjoying your favorite movies and TV shows. It also features 1000 nits of full-screen brightness and 1600 nits of peak brightness, plus advanced display technologies like P3 wide color, True Tone, and ProMotion.
10, 000 Mini-LEDs
To achieve extremely high brightness, Apple used an array of LEDs across the entire back of the display. To fit them in the incredibly thin iPad Pro, they used custom-designed mini-LEDs that are 120 times smaller than the previous generation. And custom optical films and diffusers mix the light more efficiently so it can fit in a design that's just 6.4 mm thin.
Over 2500 Local Dimming Zones
Over 10, 000 mini-LEDs are grouped into more than 2500 local dimming zones. Depending on the content, the brightness in each zone can be precisely adjusted to achieve a 1, 000, 000:1 contrast ratio. Even the most detailed HDR content with the finest specular highlights - like galaxies and action movie explosions - are more true to life than ever.
5G and WiFi
The iPad has always been uniquely portable with fast WiFi and cellular options. Now with 5G capabilities, you can connect to fast wireless networks when you need to download files, stream movies, collaborate with colleagues, and upload content on the go. The iPad Pro also has the most 5G bands of any device of its kind - so it can get 5G in more places.
Wi-Fi 6 ( 802.11 ax)
Fast wireless connections are critical to getting things done. With Wi-Fi 6, rest assured that you've got fast Wi-Fi available.
Front 12MP Ultra Wide Camera with Center Stage
The iPad Pro features an Ultra Wide camera with a 12MP sensor and a 122° field of view, making it suitable for FaceTime and the Center Stage feature. It's also great for epic Portrait mode selfies and works with the TrueDepth camera to securely unlock iPad Pro with Face ID.
