Head over to Apple’s website to take in the specs of the new M1-powered iPad Pro and you might notice something interesting. Must read: Apple strengthens hardware ecosystem, gives hints on iPhone 2021 tech I’d initially dismissed this idea, but seeing this huge jump in RAM capacity, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if macOS, in some form, was coming to the iPad Pro at some point in this device’s lifespan. Sure, Google Chrome could eat that in a heartbeat, but that’s the sort of RAM bump that would be needed to let iOS and macOS coexist on the same iPad Pro.
iPad Pro (2021, M1) Review
The 2021 iPad Pro is powered by the same M1 chip as the 2020 MacBook Air and other recently released Macs, which is big news. I wrote articles, worked on this very review, edited photos, and only found myself absolutely needing to return to my Windows PC or iMac to play games that aren’t available on iPad OS. The model I tested features a massive 12.9-inch display that dominates the front of the unit, surrounded by a uniformly chunky bezel. Although it’s only nominally fingerprint-resistant, the oleophobic (oil-repellent) display feels nice and smooth whether operated by touch or Apple Pencil.
The camera array is in the upper left corner, and the familiar three dots of a Smart Connector are near the bottom edge. There is no thumbprint sensor, but the 2021 iPad Pro supports Face ID, which I found to work flawlessly regardless of glasses and messy hair in the morning.
The bigger version of the 2021 iPad Pro comes equipped with what Apple refers to as a Liquid Retina XDR display. The sheer number of LEDs packed into the display allows for better contrast control, including absolutely abyssal blacks, right next to bright whites, and everything in between.
The smaller iPad Pro features the same True Tone display, wide color gamut, and great pixel density as the larger one, but it’s nowhere near as bright.
Eager to see exactly what an M1 iPad is capable of, I immediately installed and ran benchmark apps after I finished unboxing. After successfully pairing an Xbox controller, I found the gameplay in Genshin to be every bit as buttery-smooth as I’m used to on my actual gaming rig. I ran through my Genshin dailies in no time at all and even killed my weekly world bosses, which is something I’ve never really enjoyed doing on mobile devices.
Unfortunately, despite the impressively powerful M1 chip, there’s no way the iPad Pro is going to take over as my main mobile gaming rig. While the iPad Pro feels a little clunky as a tablet with its big 12.9-inch display, I found it surprisingly competent as a laptop replacement.
The iPad Pro leaves a bit to be desired in a few areas, like file management, which makes me shy away from using it as a work machine full time.
I still prefer macOS or Windows for many tasks, but the iPad Pro makes a strong case for itself when paired with a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
The speakers are loud, clear, and more than high enough quality to stream music, play games, and watch TV and movies without plugging in a headset. It features 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with simultaneous dual-band, HT80 with MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.0, and the version I tested also supports 5G, LTE, and a handful of other wireless data standards.
I couldn’t get the iPad Pro to play nice with Google Fi’s 5G, so I also tested it with an AT&T data SIM. I’ll stick with my LTE Google Fi SIM for now since the network is stronger where I am, but the 5G compatibility will likely come in handy down the line.
Since the iPad Pro has a 12MP front camera with a 122-degree depth of field, it’s able to grab just the relevant part of the shot without losing detail. Snapping photos and taking videos with a 12.9-inch tablet is a little awkward, but the results come out great in a variety of lighting conditions, with excellent color and clarity. Even with the powerful M1 chip and massive Retina Display to feed, the battery can still keep the iPad Pro running all day. During heavier use, editing images, and other resource-intensive tasks, I still squeezed an entire eight-hour workday out of the iPad Pro battery.
During heavier use, editing images and other resource-intensive tasks, I still squeezed a full eight-hour workday out of the iPad Pro battery. Features that showed up a year earlier in iOS, like the App Drawer and Smart Widgets, are finally available, along with a number of other welcome changes and additions.
You can access the menu by tapping an ellipses icon located at the top of compatible apps, and it’s pretty intuitive. While iPadOS still has a ways to go before I’d be comfortable using the iPad Pro as a full-time laptop replacement, the multitasking improvements in this latest iteration bring it closer than ever before. While iPadOS still has a ways to go before I’d be comfortable using the iPad Pro as a full-time laptop replacement, the multitasking improvements in this latest iteration bring it closer than ever before. The elephant in the room here is that even though iPadOS 15 brings a lot to the table and helps showcase what the new iPad Pro is truly capable of, it still isn’t macOS. So while each new version of iPadOS brings welcome improvements, you’ll still need to break out an actual laptop for any task that requires an app that’s only available on macOS. It isn’t future-proof in the same way as the M1 iPad Pro, but it’s still a good deal if you don’t need a bigger display or the extra power.
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.

In the FR1 frequency range, the 5G mobile networks use a number of bands, some of which are traditionally used by previous standards. It has been developed by the 3GPP based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies in order to increase the speed and capacity of wireless data networks. It has been developed by the 3GPP and its major advantage is the provision of greater bandwidth and spectral efficiency, due to the W-CDMA technology. It has been improved with the addition of General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and later via the Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology. Information about the communication technologies supported by the device and their respective uplink and downlink bandwidth. The SoC integrates different hardware components such as the CPU, GPU, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc., as well as software for their functioning.
The higher the pixel density, the more detailed and clearer is the information displayed on the screen. The display resolution shows the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen.
In mobile devices display size is represented by the length of its diagonal measured in inches. Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. It is measured by multiplying the native focal length of the camera by the crop factor of the sensor. The aperture (f-stop number) indicates the size of the lens diaphragm opening, which controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor.
The lower the f-stop number, the larger the diaphragm opening is, hence, the more light reaches the sensor. On the other hand, smaller pixels allow for increasing the resolution while preserving the same sensor size. Some of the most widely used types of image sensors on mobile devices are CMOS, BSI, ISOCELL, etc. Some of the most widely used types of image sensors on mobile devices are CMOS, BSI, ISOCELL, etc.
