Does the iPad Support Bluetooth?
Before you pair any device with the iPad, you must turn on Bluetooth. Tap the slider next to Bluetooth in the main window to On/green. As you might expect, the newer the iPad, the more recent the version of Bluetooth it has. The original iPad Pro supported Bluetooth 4.2. : All iPad Pros beginning with the 2nd generation ship with Bluetooth 5. : The 3rd generation iPad Air ships with Bluetooth 5.
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.
iPad (1st generation)
The device features an Apple A4 SoC, a 9.7 in (250 mm) touchscreen display,[6] and, on certain variants, the capability of accessing cellular networks. Using the iOS operating system, the iPad can play music, send and receive email and browse the web. Other functions, which include the ability to play games and access references, GPS navigation software and social network services can be enabled by downloading apps.
On May 28, 2010, it was released in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Reviewers praised the device for its wide range of capabilities and labeled it as a competitor to laptops and netbooks. Some aspects were criticized, including the closed nature of the operating system and the lack of support for the Adobe Flash multimedia format. Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo-based tablet, the PenLite, but decided not to sell it in order to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. Such speculation mostly talked about “Apple’s tablet”; specific names included iTablet and iSlate. [13] The actual name is reportedly an homage to the Star Trek PADD, a fictional device very similar in appearance to the iPad. The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, by Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Jobs later said that Apple began developing the iPad before the iPhone,[17][18] but temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well in a mobile phone. The iPad was launched in countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom on May 28.
[24] Apple released the iPad in Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore on July 23, 2010. [31][32][33] Israel briefly prohibited importation of the iPad because of concerns that its Wi-Fi might interfere with other devices. [41] The update was reported to contain hundreds of new features and tweaks, including Twitter integration, Notification Center and iMessage, which is a feature that allows users to send messages or multimedia files to other users on iOS or OS X, the operating system for Apple computers. The lower portion of the iPad, showing the charging port and audio output grilles The first-generation iPad features an Apple A4 SoC,[2] which comprises a 1 GHz processor, 256 MB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX535 GPU. [46] In the iOS 4.3 update, a setting was added to allow the user to specify whether the side switch was used for rotation lock or mute.
Unlike the iPhone and iPod Touch’s built-in applications, which work in 3 orientations (portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right), the iPad’s built-in applications support screen rotation in all four orientations, including upside-down. Consequently, the device has no intrinsic “native” orientation; only the relative position of the home button changes.
The media noted that thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of countries with many of those who waited claiming that “it was worth it. Mossberg also called the price “modest” for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.
[55] Others, including PC Advisor and the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating netbooks, most of which use Microsoft Windows. [64] The Independent criticized the iPad for not being as readable in bright light as paper but praised it for being able to store large quantities of books.
[61] After its UK release, The Daily Telegraph said the iPad’s lack of Adobe Flash support was “annoying”. The iPad was selected by Time magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010,[66] while Popular Science chose it as the top gadget[67] behind the overall “Best of What’s New 2010” winner Groasis Waterboxx. [72] During the financial conference call on October 18, 2010, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had sold more iPads than Macs for the fiscal quarter. CNET criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync, which other portable devices such as Microsoft’s Zune have had for a number of years.
[79] PC Magazine’s Tim Gideon wrote, “you have yourself a winner” that “will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape.
A12Z vs. A14: Which Apple Chip is Better?
In March 2020, Apple introduced a new iPad Pro model with the A12Z Bionic processor. In September that year, Apple premiered the fourth-generation iPad Air with the A14 Bionic processor, and a month later, the chip made its way to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.
The chip was a minor upgrade on the previous processor, and only sees tangible performance improvements in graphics-based tasks. Although both processors are custom Apple-designed 64-bit SoCs, there are a large number of key differences between the chips when it comes to specifications.
The manufacturing process used to make the A14 is more modern, setting the standard for the industry as a whole going forwards. Along with the manufacturing process, the A14 benefits from two years worth of minor efficiency and design improvements compared to the A12Z.
Although Apple says that the A12Z sees “an enhanced thermal architecture and tuned performance controllers,” the A14 is clearly the more advanced chip. The leap in single-core performance demonstrates how Apple has improved the power of the chip over the course of two generations. In multi-core, the additional two cores of the A12Z allow it to edge ahead of the A14 by about 15 percent, despite it being an older chip. With double the number of GPU cores, it is unsurprising that the iPad Pro with the A12Z surpasses the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro with the A14 by about 20 percent. To some extent, the surprising performance of the iPad Air may be put down to better thermals and fewer limitations on power consumption, though it seems unlikely that the large disparity could be caused by this alone. It is also important to bear in mind the iterative improvements that have occurred over the previous two chip generations and the advantages of the five-nanometer fabrication process.
For intense computational operations and multi-core tasks, the A12Z is the better chip, even though it is older and slower. With a large display on a “pro” device, users are more likely to expect to be able to perform complex multitasking, making use of the iPad Pro’s eight cores. For graphics-based tasks, due to the seemingly anomalous performance of the iPad Air, the case is less clear. For workflows dependent on a significant amount of graphical capability such as editing 4K video, or simply gaming, the iPad Air appears to be the better choice.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021) Specs
The specifications also include 5G variant and new ultra wide 12MP camera on the front.
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’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.
These accessories aren’t strictly necessary, as you can use any Bluetooth keyboard, but they do transform and elevate the experience of using an iPad Pro. 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.
M2 iPad Pro vs M1 iPad Pro: What’s different?
In 2021, the 11 and 12.9″ iPad Pro arrived with the powerful M1 chip, Thunderbolt connectivity, 5G for cellular models, new camera features like Center Stage, and more. Outside of the slight boost in CPU and GPU performance, all the other specs like storage, RAM, Thunderbolt connectivity, and 5G remain the same between the new and old iPad Pro models.

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2021) – Specifications
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. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel.
The SoC integrates different hardware components such as the CPU, GPU, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc., as well as software for their functioning. 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.
The lower the f-stop number, the larger the diaphragm opening is, hence, the more light reaches the sensor. It is measured by multiplying the native focal length of the camera by the crop factor of the sensor.
