9 Things To Know About Apple’s New M4 iPad Pro

Yesterday’s Let Loose was packed full of fun iPad-related announcements, but perhaps none was quite so revolutionary as the company’s decision to debut its next-generation M4 silicon not on a Mac but on the iPad Pro.

That’s a huge move, effectively putting Apple’s flagship iPad at the forefront of the company’s technology. If anyone felt Apple wasn’t taking the iPad Pro seriously, this week’s announcement should have quashed those doubts. Now we have to wait and see what iPadOS 18 brings to the table next month.

Needless to say, a few of the subtler details about the new M4 iPad Pro didn’t make the cut for on-stage presentation, so we’ve dug through the specs and fine print to see what else the M4 iPad Pro has to offer — and watch hidden catches are part of the package. Read on for 9 things you should know about Apple’s 2024 flagship iPad.
