Apple iPad Pro M4: Specs and features

The Apple iPad Pro M4 is the perfect daily driver for content creation, graphic design, video editing, and other demanding applications. Apart from these, it's perfect for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking, thanks to its large display and stylus support.
These are the detailed specs of the iPad:
Performance
The Apple iPad Pro is powered by the M4 chipset, featuring a 9-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. This allows for extremely smooth performance in multitasking and gaming. Demanding tasks like video editing and graphic design are easier than ever thanks to the capable hardware.
The device now supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which is very useful in games that support it. It brings out a greater level of detail and immersion by changing how light rays and shadows are processed.
The game library for the iPad Pro is amazing for PC gamers, as you can play games like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, and many titles from the Final Fantasy series. The iPad's powerful specs allow you to play all these games at 60 FPS. Moreover, they're a treat to play on the vibrant Retina XDR display.
The device is also powered by Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system designed to enhance how users communicate, work, and express themselves on their Apple Devices.
Camera
Being an iPad, you will likely not shoot a lot of pictures and videos on it. They're not meant to have great picture quality. However, the iPad Pro does impress with its high-res 12MP wide camera, clicking vibrant pictures with good clarity. You can record videos at up to 4K resolution with 60 FPS and use ProRes video recording to record videos in HDR, SDR, or Log.
Display

The M4 iPad Pro features a beautiful 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display. It's among the thinnest displays Apple has ever produced, making it extremely light and portable. It has a peak brightness of 1000 nits on SDR and XDR. HDR content gets a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits. These numbers are super high and are more than enough to allow you to see the screen on the sunniest days.
The display features True Tone, which automatically adjusts the color and intensity of the screen to match the ambient light around. This helps reduce eye strain and makes it easier to view the screen for longer durations. Apple ProMotion technology allows you to moderate the refresh rates from 10 Hz to 120 Hz, allowing for a good balance between smoothness and battery life.
You can also pair it with Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard for maximum productivity. These add-ons, though expensive, can be useful for those who need them. Artists would find the Apple Pencil super useful, and those working on the iPad Pro will find the Magic Keyboard a great asset.
Battery
The iPad Pro M4 has an incredible battery life, featuring a 38.99 Wh battery. Apple claims you get up to 10 hours of web surfing on Wi-Fi or watching videos. User reviews suggest the iPad lasts a little over five hours of moderate to high power use. Expect slightly fewer hours with heavy gaming.
