Apple Introduces Next-Generation iPad Pro With M1 Chip, Thunderbolt, 5G, XDR Display, and More

[psxp]

WOW! Ipad with M1 and 12" with the LED screen ! Nice! Good to see LumaFusion mentioned - love that app!

BOTH MODELS GETTING 16GB OF DDR4X RAM😲 only 1/2TB get 16. Other ones get 8GB

EDIT: first iOS/iPadOS product for Apple to mention how much RAM it has

 

[pshufd]

Prices are savage.

Just can’t justify over a grand on a tablet, no matter how many nits it’s got.

My last full-size iPad is the iPad 2 which I still use. My main iPad is the iPad Mini 5. Easy to justify a pro. Looks like no iPad Mini 6 today. That was pretty short for Apple.

Hmmm, no mention of iPad Pros being able to run Mac OS apps. But now that they’re running exactly the same CPU, it would seem inevitable. Something for them to surprise with at the WWDC?

16GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Thunderbolt, magic keyboard, trackpad. Why can't it run MacOS?

$1,099 for 12.9” available to order 30th April with delivery in the second half of May.

Enough time to cool my interest I hope. With a storage upgrade and a Magic Keyboard that’s a very expensive piece of kit.

I’ll wait for the 14” M1X MacBook Pro I think.

Interesting that the credits roll was all about the safety precautions that they took in making the video presentation.

 

[The Game 161]

Sign pro apps are on way I think

 

[Bruninho]

I am now screwed... gotta choose between the MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro for my next years of work... amazing... way to go, Apple!! 👏👏👏👏

It was interesting to see that they haven't put LumaFusion out of business yet by bringing FCPX to the iPad. The LumaFusion lady looked quite happy...

 

[braintumor]

Soooo ... when do we finally get MacOS on the iPad Pro!!!??? A hybrid iPadOS/MacOS would make me buy this instantly

The iPad Pro makes the M1 MBA hardware look so dated! That design and screen in a laptop form factor please!

 

[revs]

Yep. I'd sell my M1 MBA take a loss and get a iPad Pro if it ran macOS

 

[CrazySuzyn]

Apple is cruel. Why show me such an incredible device and then make me wait a week to order it? Want, want, want it now!

 

[theotherphil]

Up to 16Gb RAM.…what an update from my 2018. Take my money!

 

[Dionte]

I didn’t think they could make me want to upgrade from the 2020 but here I am.

 

[twocents]

Really delivered on this one.. dang!

 

[MarioPhone96]

Yep. No reason for me to upgrade from my 2018 11” iPad Pro.

Yeah. I’m thinking the same thing. Although mine suffers from ghost touch, so I’m conflicted.

 

[Sodium Chloride]

Apple today introduced the next-generation iPad Pro with the same M1 chip found in the latest Macs.

Does it mean that it can run the full version of Microsoft Office for the Mac?

 

[magicschoolbus]

Why in the world can the iPad not sense when it's hooked up to a magic keyboard, or hooked into a monitor; to boot into OSX?

 

[Flabasha]

More than pleasantly surprised! iPads are now only limited by iPadOS *cough* proper external display support *cough*

Well, they showed proper external display support... but notably, only with the ProDisplay XDR.

 

[BeatCrazy]

That display is gonna be legit.

 

[wolfboy]

Yessss, 8gb RAM confirmed for base. 16gb for 1tb.

Sold!

 

[agsystems]

Damn my pro is fast enough. Can’t wait to upgrade in a few years

you know you want it - go for it

 

[AlexESP]

Get over it, iPad wont (and shouldn’t) run macOS.
