The new M5 iPad Pro can now OUTPUT 120hz VRR to External displays.

Sure there’s 12GB of Faster ram and WiFi 7 (which not even the MacBook Pro got)

But an M5 iPad Pro externally can drive a Gaming monitor with VRR at 120hz

Do any iOS games even take advantage of VRR anyway? I would imagine the 120Hz output is more useful for video editing purposes.
 
I've had multiple iPads and paired with my Apple Studio Display it's about the most ballsack experience I've ever had. Maybe it's a hint at a new ProMotion display coming but if you compare the M5 vs M4 there's nothing that would technically prevent the M4 from doing it either. Hell, when you compare them on Apple's site it doesn't even mention VRR as a feature.

This will either be software locked or people will find out it works with previous gens as well.
