The third generation iPad Pro also premiered a new design, with a screen that covers more of the front face, and has rounded corners. The redesigned iPad Pro was announced on October 30, 2018,[2][3] during an Apple Special Event at the Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York. [7][8] Unlike iPhone models featuring Face ID until iOS 16, the third-generation iPad Pro can unlock in any orientation.

iPad Pro 2021
The 2021 iPad Pro has been announced during Apple’s ‘Spring Loaded’ event with a new display technology in the 12.9-inch model, camera improvements, a better processor, and more. 2021 iPad Pro: Features and specs Liquid Retina XDR: mini-LED technology Performance Camera Connectivity Thunderbolt port Storage options In terms of design, the 2021 iPad Pro looks closely to the last model launched by Apple. This panel uses 10,000 mini-LEDs, which provide much greater control of localized backlighting, allowing higher brightness and deeper blacks. According to Apple, the Liquid Retina XDR display delivers “true-to-life” detail with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. While the 11-inch model still uses the Liquid Retina display with LCD, both of them have True Tone for comfortable viewing, ProMotion technology with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, and P3 wide color gamut.
In previous models, when you call someone in landscape mode, it feels like the only thing the other person can see is your chin. The iPad Pro uses 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz); HT80 with MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.0 technology.
Thunderbolt ports are available on the Mac and enable iPad Pro users to connect to additional displays and other accessories, as well as transfer files faster. Apple says that this Thunderbolt port “works with existing USB-C connectors and opens up an extensive ecosystem of high-performance accessories for iPad Pro.
Transfer huge assets or even drive the Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution.” The fifth-generation iPad Pro uses the second-generation Apple Pencil that charges when attached to the tablet.
After Apple announced the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, people started wondering whether the older Magic Keyboard would be compatible with the new tablet. Due to the slightly thicker dimensions of this new iPad Pro, it’s possible that the Magic Keyboard may not precisely fit when closed, especially when screen protectors are applied.“
Apple does say the new Magic Keyboard works with the new iPad but it would rather expect users to spend another $349 for a better fit when closed. Previewed during the WWDC21 keynote, the operating system brings a redesigned Home Screen with widgets and App Library support. New automation triggers based on the current reading of a HomeKit-enabled humidity, air quality, or light level sensor It brings more features that were expected to launch alongside iPadOS 15 but, unfortunately, Universal Control is still nowhere to be seen.

One of the most notable changes here is a fix for a Safari vulnerability that may have been leaking your browsing history and Google ID data to the websites you visited.
Different from other software updates, iPadOS 15.5 only improves the Podcast app experience, as Apple focused on Wallet changes for the iPhone this time: Apple Podcasts includes a new setting to limit episodes stored on your iPhone and automatically delete older ones TV app adds the option to restart a live sports game already in progress and pause, rewind, or fast-forward.

The iPad has a display that’s better than any MacBook, can connect to the Internet independent of Wi-Fi, has a better speaker system, features easy Face ID authentication, works with the Apple Pencil, and so much more.
If Apple can provide big enhancements in areas like multitasking, external display support, and file management, I think the iPad will finally be able to compete with the Mac and be the laptop replacement that so many people have wanted it to be.
Is Your iPad Obsolete and Outdated?
In a technical sense, an obsolete device is one that the manufacturer no longer supports. In this case, obsolete means the models are both discontinued and unsupported by Apple. These devices don’t support the latest versions of iPadOS. The following models are no longer sold, but these devices remain within Apple’s service window for iPadOS updates:
An iPad out of the service window isn’t necessarily useless because it no longer receives iPadOS updates. An older tablet makes a great tableside companion in your living room, an effective e-book reader, or a light-duty device for reading mail or checking your favorite websites.
Still, the longer your iPad goes without updates from Apple, the more likely it is that security glitches could affect your tablet.
iPad Pro (5th generation)
Significant upgrades over the previous generation include the new Apple M1 processor, the addition of 5G support in cellular models, support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB4, and for the 12.9-inch model, a new mini LED Liquid Retina XDR display. [6] The iPad’s general availability was temporarily constrained by an ongoing chip shortage of 2020 and 2021. In spite of minor differences in weight and thickness due to hardware upgrades, the tablet is virtually identical to its predecessor. The fifth generation iPad Pro debuted support of Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 with its USB-C port.
The 12.9-inch model, in contrasts, boasts mini LED HDR display called the Liquid Retina XDR display built in with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, full screen brightness of 1000 nits and a peak brightness of 1600 nits (HDR). [15] Both models support True Tone, ProMotion, 120 Hz variable refresh rate, and P3 wide colour gamut. Besides the second generation Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard Folio, and the Magic Keyboard, the tablet also supports third-party external accessories such as game controllers (Sony Playstation and Microsoft XBOX games controllers, but not Nintendo Switch). Apple’s fifth-generation iPad Pro can also be used with many other peripherals that transform it into a versatile computer. Some reviewers said that its overboosted processor was limited by iPadOS and the lack of professional macOS applications,[20][21] while other criticized the placement of its camera system. [22] The Verge criticized the lack of multiuser support like the Mac but praised the Mini-LED and cameras.

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2021) vs iPad Pro 11 (2020) differences
(Pocket-lint) – Apple revealed the third generation of the iPad Pro 11 during an event in April 2021. Both models are available in the same Silver and Space Grey colour options and they both feature aluminium frames with squared edges and very slim bezels surrounding the display. Both models also come with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2388 x 1668 resolution for a pixel density of 264ppi and a max brightness of 600nits. Other areas that stay the same across the two models include the four-speaker audio arrangement, 10-hour battery life, support for the second generation Apple Pencil, Face ID techonology and the LIDAR sensor.
As is typically the case with a new model, the iPad Pro 11 (3rd gen) comes with an upgraded chip. The second generation model meanwhile, runs on the A12Z Bionic chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture and Neural Engine. The Apple iPad Pro 11 (2021) and the iPad Pro 11 (2020) feature the same design, along with the same rear camera, battery, audio capabilties, colour options and display, so for some, there will be no need to upgrade and you could save yourself some money opting for the older device if the newer features don’t matter too much to you.
11-inch iPad Pro
AppleInsider is supported by its audience and may earn commission as an Amazon Associate and affiliate partner on qualifying purchases. Today, Apple sells the iPad Pro as an ultraportable-professional tool meant to augment or replace a Mac. Instead of offering a Mac with a touchscreen and changing macOS to be suitable for touch, Apple did a major overhaul of its iPad line with new hardware and software. Following the mixed success of Windows 2-in-1s like the Microsoft Surface, Apple hopes the iPad Pro will capture the laptop and tablet markets with a single device.
The uniform bezel accompanied by speakers at each corner gave this device an agnostic physical orientation. The iPad Pro’s back is perfectly flat, too, housing a Smart Connector and protruding camera, as well as 90 magnets for case attachment.
The smart connector’s location on the 2018 and later models requires that keyboard accessories fit as a case around the device. Perhaps one of the most important features is the USB 4/Thunderbolt Type-C port, which allows for easy connection to many devices without needing a proprietary cable.
Users can connect a USB-C hard drive, an external monitor like the LG Display, or charge an iPhone with this port. Games are beginning to update to utilize the 120Hz refresh rate for even smoother gameplay, and the M1 handles this without issue. With the introduction of Apple Arcade, the company wants developers to start utilizing its powerful mobile processors for more advanced gaming apps. 5G speeds are theoretically faster than LTE, although many users won’t see much real-world difference today.
Apple describes the 5G-equipped iPad Pro as offering “the most 5G bands on any device of its kind” and “the broadest 5G coverage worldwide.” However, older LTE versions running on the AT&T variant use a misleading “5GE” logo to denote optimized 4G technology.
Center Stage uses the new iPad Pro’s wider front camera and M1 chip to keep everyone in the frame during video calls automatically
The 2021 iPad Pro models include a feature called Center Stage that uses a new 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with a 122-degree field of view.
Other keyboards will connect over Bluetooth or USB-C and attach directly to the iPad Pro to form a clamshell design. The second-generation Apple Pencil uses a magnetic mount on the iPad Pro for storage, wireless charging, and pairing.
The USB-C port offers many other accessory options like external drives, monitors, keyboards, controllers, and hubs. In the fifth-generation model Apple announced in April 2021, the port now supports the Thunderbolt and USB 4 standards.
The improved graphics performance, addition of LiDAR processing, and 6GB of RAM are not enough for 2018 iPad Pro owners to upgrade. While owners of the 2018 model won’t need to upgrade new customers will find this to be a worthy purchase.

Development of the next model is well underway, but when will the new iPad Pro launch, and what design changes, new features and tech specs can we expect? Reports suggest we could see Apple equip the 11in model with a Retina XDR display like its larger sibling has.
But perhaps the biggest rumor of them all is news that Apple could introduce an iPad Pro with an even larger screen (more on all that below).
However, Apple may wait a little longer to launch the next generation iPad Pro if it intends to equip the 11in model with mini-LED display like its larger sibling.
Sources in the supply chain have indicated that an Apple supplier (BOE) is working on gigantic 15-inch OLED panels that could plausibly end up in an iPad at some point in the future. What’s more, the respected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman claimed in June 2021 that Apple itself has been testing 14-inch-16-inch iPads, and that devices in such a form factor will “continue to blur the lines between tablet and laptop”.
More recently, in July 2022, DSSC analyst Ross Young has claimed that a 14.1-inch iPad Pro is in development at Apple that could launch in early as 2023. When the report was published in January 2022 BOE was said to still at an early stage of development, and the project is unlikely to yield actual commercial products for another year or two – and may never do so at all, sources say, “due to the difficulty of the technology”.
But considering how expensive the 12.9-inch model already is, and how much more commercially successful the company’s cheaper and small alternatives are, it seems like a long shot for a 14- or 15-inch iPad Pro to appear in the near future.
Gurman and others have indicated that the new iPad Pro will have a glass back in order to make wireless charging (dubbed MagSafe by Apple) possible. If Apple switches from aluminium to glass on the back it could actually increase the weight of the iPad Pro. According to ET News Apple is looking into adopting ‘dry etching’, which is a process that can leaf to thinner and lighter displays.
Apple has recently introduced some new shades to the Mac line up that could be shared with the iPad Pro. For example, Basic Apple Guy shared a concept design of the iPad Pro in Midnight:
Apple always likes to bestow the best of its processor line-up into its pro tablets, which is one of the reasons they are so ridiculously powerful. Various news outlets, including Bloomberg, are reporting that the new iPad Pros will feature glass backs rather than the current aluminium ones.
There have been other reports though that suggest the glass backs have proved problematic, as they make the iPads more prone to breakages and may also add to the weight. The suggestion that the 11-inch iPad Pro will be granted parity with its larger sibling with the introduction of a mini-LED display seems likely, however, as per Ming Chi Kuo’s tweet above, it is possible that fans will have to wait another year for the arrival of the technology due to cost implications. This technology is a step up from the normal LED LCD screens, as it allows more control over the contrast, making dark parts of the image even darker, while also boosting the richness of colour and the maximum brightness of the display. Another rumour posted by 9to5Mac states that Apple has been experimenting with a new design for the iPad Pro that would see the infamous notch come to the platform for the first time. We’ve seen other reports that say Apple is thinking of positioning the cameras on the longer side of the chassis, essentially making them landscape orientated devices. Display analyst Ross Young shared in the MacRumors Show in July 2022 that he expects under-display Face ID to first arrive on the iPad.
iPad Pro 2021
The 2021 iPad Pro has been announced during Apple’s ‘Spring Loaded’ event with a new display technology in the 12.9-inch model, camera improvements, a better processor, and more. 2021 iPad Pro: Features and specs Liquid Retina XDR: mini-LED technology Performance Camera Connectivity Thunderbolt port Storage options In terms of design, the 2021 iPad Pro looks closely to the last model launched by Apple. This panel uses 10,000 mini-LEDs, which provide much greater control of localized backlighting, allowing higher brightness and deeper blacks. According to Apple, the Liquid Retina XDR display delivers “true-to-life” detail with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. While the 11-inch model still uses the Liquid Retina display with LCD, both of them have True Tone for comfortable viewing, ProMotion technology with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, and P3 wide color gamut.
In previous models, when you call someone in landscape mode, it feels like the only thing the other person can see is your chin. The iPad Pro uses 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz); HT80 with MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.0 technology.
Thunderbolt ports are available on the Mac and enable iPad Pro users to connect to additional displays and other accessories, as well as transfer files faster. Apple says that this Thunderbolt port “works with existing USB-C connectors and opens up an extensive ecosystem of high-performance accessories for iPad Pro.
Transfer huge assets or even drive the Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution.” The fifth-generation iPad Pro uses the second-generation Apple Pencil that charges when attached to the tablet.
After Apple announced the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, people started wondering whether the older Magic Keyboard would be compatible with the new tablet. Due to the slightly thicker dimensions of this new iPad Pro, it’s possible that the Magic Keyboard may not precisely fit when closed, especially when screen protectors are applied.“ Apple does say the new Magic Keyboard works with the new iPad but it would rather expect users to spend another $349 for a better fit when closed. Previewed during the WWDC21 keynote, the operating system brings a redesigned Home Screen with widgets and App Library support.

The iPad has a display that’s better than any MacBook, can connect to the Internet independent of Wi-Fi, has a better speaker system, features easy Face ID authentication, works with the Apple Pencil, and so much more.
If Apple can provide big enhancements in areas like multitasking, external display support, and file management, I think the iPad will finally be able to compete with the Mac and be the laptop replacement that so many people have wanted it to be.
