The 12.9-inch model, in contrast, 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), which is the same as the 12.9-inch model of the 5th generation. Both models support True Tone, ProMotion, 120 Hz variable refresh rate, and P3 wide color gamut. The position and angle of Pencil can now be detected up to 12 millimetres (0.47 in) above the screen (“Pencil hover”), which can be used by apps for features such as previewing brush and pen strokes, and with existing hover interactions intended for mouse/touchpad input. The sixth-generation iPad Pro received mixed responses from critics. Some reviewers said that the front-facing camera is not in a landscape position, compared to the 10th-generation iPad,[9][15] while others criticized the outdated Magic Keyboard, lacking the function keys used on the 10th-generation iPad. [16] Some reviewers praised the Apple Pencil hover, fast performance, battery life, and the display.

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. [7] 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 uses an Apple M1 SoC, which is the first iPad to utilize an M-series processor (found on the first Apple silicon Mac desktops and notebooks released in the late 2020) rather than an A-series processor.
The fifth generation iPad Pro debuted support of Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 with its USB-C port. The 12.9-inch model, in contrast, boasts a mini LED HDR display called the Liquid Retina XDR display built in with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, full-screen brightness of 1,000 nits and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits (HDR).
[16] Both models support True Tone, ProMotion, 120 Hz variable refresh rate, and P3 wide color gamut. In addition to the second generation Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard Folio, and the Magic Keyboard, the fifth-generation iPad Pro supports third-party external accessories such as game controllers (Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox controllers).
Some reviewers said that its overboosted processor was limited by iPadOS and the lack of professional macOS applications,[21][22] while others criticized the placement of its camera system.
[23] The Verge criticized the lack of multiuser support like the Mac but praised its Mini-LED screen and cameras.
Will Apple Launch New iPads in 2023? Here’s What the Latest Rumors Say
Additionally, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman earlier this year reported that an iPad mini update with a minor “spec bump” was not out of the question. In August, the leaker known as “ShrimpApplePro” also suggested a seventh-generation iPad mini was in the works at Apple, and said that they had seen evidence that at least one new iPad model is coming this year.
The outlet says that its sources believe the iPad mini 7 is coming “soon,” but the report also says that all of the new iPads are on track to be announced “between now and WWDC 2024 in June,” which is a wide window.
Apple during its August earnings call warned that iPad revenue is expected to drop double digits, suggesting it does not expect to have products to entice customers during the holiday quarter beyond the recently launched iPhone 15 series, new Apple Watch models, and new M3 series Macs. Likewise, multiple rumors suggest iPad Pro models with OLED displays and M3 chips won’t be coming until 2024. To sum up, we could still theoretically see at least one iPad unveiled this year via press release, perhaps in the form of an iPad mini, an iPad Air, or an 11th-generation low-cost iPad, but these would likely be minor refreshes.
It seems reasonable for at least one or two of these models to be updated in early November, but as the calendar edges into winter and the “rumors against” increasingly stack up, new iPads in 2023 are looking more and more unlikely.

iPad Pro: Should You Buy? Features, Reviews and More
It features advanced palm rejection, extreme precision, and imperceptible lag for a paper-like writing experience that’s unmatched by third-party styluses. Apple says that users are able to see a preview of their mark before they make it, and that sketching and illustrating can be done with greater precision. The Magic Keyboard attaches to the iPad Pro through a magnetic connection, and it features cantilevered hinges that allow it to work on a desk or on a lap.
The hinges allow for adjustments of the viewing angle up to 130 degrees, so it can be tweaked for every usage situation.
Apple designed trackpad support to integrate into both first- and third-party apps.

iPad Pro 2022 review
The iPad Pro 2022 is an all-around great tablet that delivers solid performance, a handy Apple Pencil Hover feature and excellent video quality. Why you can trust Tom’s Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what’s best for you. iPadOS 16 features such as Stage Manager and Apple Pencil Hover also work great on this tablet.
Apple Pencil Hover is exclusive to the iPad Pro 2022, but it’s not exactly a “must-have” feature for most users.
Unless you absolutely need the nominal performance boost, it’s hard to justify upgrading to the latest model from the previous iPad Pro. Note that the Apple Pencil 2nd gen ($129) and Magic Keyboard ($349) are sold separately and add significantly to the cost. This isn’t a negative since its thin bezels and sleek machined aluminum chassis remain as striking as ever. While I appreciate the variety of colors available for Apple’s regular iPad, I prefer silver or gray electronics.
The iPad Pro 2022 measures 11.04 x 8.46 x 0.25 inches and weighs 1.5 pounds, which is exactly the same as last year’s model.
Without the keyboard attachment, the tablet’s light weight makes it easy to hold for long periods of time.
Unlike the monstrous 14-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the iPad Pro isn’t too big for its own good and feels pretty comfortable in my hands. There’s a button along the top right edge (when the iPad is held vertically like a sheet of paper) for locking the screen and using Touch ID, two buttons on the right side to raise or lower the volume and a single Thunderbolt 4/USB-C port on the bottom edge of the device.
The iPad Pro 2022 I reviewed has a gigantic 12.9-inch mini-LED display with a resolution of 2,732 x 2,048 pixels and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Watching the trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water, I was impressed by the richness of the colors and the stark contrast between dark and light elements. The world of Pandora is drenched in blues, and the iPad Pro was able to make each hue look crisp and distinctive. Because the display is large enough to accommodate a full comic book page, you’ll rarely (if ever) have to zoom in or rotate the tablet to see things more clearly.
I blasted Trivium’s “The Phalanx” and “Feast of Fire” and the songs sounded almost as good as they would on a proper stereo. Movie trailers like the aforementioned Avatar: Way of Water sound great on the iPad Pro, as does conversation-focused content like the Waveform podcast. These values absolutely destroy the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-driven Galaxy Tab S8 (1,208 single-core, 3,228 multi-core). When it comes to graphics, the iPad Pro 2022 scored 25,259 and hit 151 frames per second on the 3D Mark Wild Life Unlimited test.
Genshin Impact is one of the more graphically demanding games on the App Store, so it’s good to see the iPad Pro 2022 handle it with ease.
Since both the front and rear cameras take solid pictures, I don’t have an issue that they remain unchanged.
The 12MP front and rear cameras deliver stunning picture quality under normal lighting conditions. The front-facing camera does a super job of capturing my admittedly pale skin tone.
My rooftop lounge has great lighting, so I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised by the superb picture quality. Even on a cloudy day, the camera was able to deliver an impressive image that was almost good enough to hang on the wall.
I don’t tend to move much during video calls, but I appreciate how the camera intelligently pans, crops and zooms to keep me in the frame when I do. We’d prefer the camera to be on the longer side, which would be easier for video calls, especially with the Magic Keyboard attached to the iPad Pro 2022.
On the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness, the iPad Pro 2022 lasted for 10 hours and 39 minutes over Wi-Fi. But I want to focus on two big features folks can take advantage of on iPad Pro.
It’s a wonderful productivity feature, especially when enabled on your MacBook and iPad to get a dual-screen experience via Universal Control. Apple Pencil hover preview shows where your pen will land before you commit to writing or drawing.
The other big feature on iPad Pro 2022 is Apple Pencil Hover preview, which is exclusive to this M2-powered slate.
The iPad Pro can detect the Apple Pencil up to 12mm above the display and lets you see a preview of your mark before you make it.
Apple Pencil hover has been updated as of iPadOS 16.4 to support more accurate previews based on the tilt angle of the stylus. The Magic Keyboard’s base is sturdy and keeps the tablet in place no matter how hard you type.
The Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are fantastic (if expensive) peripherals for the iPad Pro 2022. Watching videos, playing games, conferencing with others, web browsing, writing, drawing and more work as well as ever. If you own the previous iPad Pro, you absolutely don’t need the new model unless you do heavy-duty design or video editing.
Apple iPad Pro (6th Gen, 2022) Review: Another Minor Update
Yes, you get all the standout features from its predecessors, like the mini LED display (on the 12.9-inch model), a 120-Hz refresh rate, quad speakers for richer sound, Face ID, and a lidar sensor. It could’ve added a few of the same upgrades it gave to the new 10th-gen iPad ($449), like the landscape selfie camera, support for the revamped Magic Keyboard Folio, and maybe snazzier color choices. Many of the features are also the same, like ProMotion support, 5G connectivity if you opt for the cellular model, and the dual-camera setup with the lidar sensor for augmented reality apps. Apple introduced this last year, so it’s puzzling that it couldn’t bring this superior screen to the smaller iPad Pro model for feature parity.
I’ve largely only used this new hover feature in the Notes app to preview color combinations while doodling, but it’s a smart and helpful addition for anyone that frequently reaches for the stylus.
Apple iPad Pro review (2022): An impressive stopgap
The company took last year’s model, swapped the M1 chip for the M2, made a few other small tweaks, and called it a day. It features one of the best screens Apple has ever made, and it continues to surprise me that the company can pack so much power into such a compact frame.

The fit and finish remains exceptional, and while the 1.5-pound weight makes it a bit more of a burden to hold compared to smaller and lighter iPad models, I’m still impressed at Apple’s ability to cram such performance into a device that’s so compact. Both iPad Pro models also have the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate; support for the P3 wide color gamut; a screen that’s fully laminated to the front glass; and an anti-reflective coating.
Just like last year, the iPad Pro has an ultrawide 12-megapixel front-facing camera that supports Face ID authentication. This wide-angle camera supports Center Stage, which crops and zooms around your face to keep you in the middle of the frame on a video call.
This has been true of all iPads for years already, but now that the basic model has gotten a landscape-oriented camera, we’re going to be waiting impatiently for Apple to implement that across its entire lineup.
And now that the basic iPad’s new Magic Keyboard Folio offers a row of function keys and a slightly bigger trackpad, I’m really missing those features here. The Apple Pencil remains a tool that I’m not particularly great at evaluating, because I am sorely lacking in visual arts skills. One place I was able to demo it was in the Notes app; when using the new watercolor brush, you can hover the pencil over the screen to see how the color will react with other elements you’ve already drawn.
Hovering and moving the Pencil across a strip of different filters at the bottom of the app automatically applies them as a preview.
