Pro Audio with Studio-Quality Mics
iPad Pro now features five studio-quality microphones for
capturing super clean audio and the quietest details, and
delivers an immersive sound experience with four-speaker
audio that automatically adjusts to any orientation, no matter
how it is held. The combination of pro cameras, pro audio
and the large display make iPad Pro a versatile mobile studio
for creative pros including filmmakers, video professionals,
podcasters and other content creators.
Combined with the eight-core CPU and the powerful Neural
Engine, which enables next-generation apps, there’s no other
chip that can offer the incredible performance found in the thin
and light design of iPad Pro. With great battery life lasting up
to 10 hours,1 faster Wi-Fi connectivity2 and gigabit-class LTE
that’s 60 percent faster3 with support for more LTE bands than
any other tablet, customers can stay productive and creative
all day.
Pro Display
The edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display — in both 11-inch and
12.9-inch sizes — is the world’s most advanced mobile display.
Featuring P3 wide colour support, it lets customers see photos,
videos, apps and games in vivid, true-to-life detail. ProMotion
technology automatically adjusts the display refresh rate up to
120 Hz for ultra-smooth scrolling and responsiveness. And no
matter where customers take iPad Pro or how they interact
with it, True Tone, high brightness and an anti-reflective
coating deliver the best viewing experience possible on any
mobile device.
Pro Cameras
The Pro camera system on iPad Pro features a 12MP Wide
camera for capturing stunning photos and 4K video, and now
includes a 10MP Ultra Wide camera that zooms out two times
to capture a much wider field of view. Adding a second camera
doubles the photo and video possibilities, enabling different
perspectives and multi-camera use — a game changer for
creative pros.
Breakthrough LiDAR Scanner
The breakthrough LiDAR Scanner enables capabilities never
before possible on any mobile device. The LiDAR Scanner
measures the distance to surrounding objects up to 5 meters
away, works both indoors and outdoors, and operates at the
photon level at nano-second speeds. New depth frameworks
in iPadOS combine depth points measured by the LiDAR
Scanner, data from both cameras and motion sensors, and
is enhanced by computer vision algorithms on the A12Z
Bionic for a more detailed understanding of a scene. The tight
integration of these elements enables a whole new class of AR
experiences on iPad Pro.
Every existing ARKit app automatically gets instant AR
placement, improved motion capture and people occlusion.
Using the latest update to ARKit with a new Scene Geometry
API, developers can harness the power of the new LiDAR
Scanner to unleash scenarios never before possible.
The LiDAR Scanner improves the Measure app, making it
faster and easier to automatically calculate someone’s height,
while helpful vertical and edge guides automatically appear
to let users more quickly and accurately measure objects.
The Measure app also now comes with Ruler View for more
granular measurements and allows users to save a list of all
measurements, complete with screenshots for future use.
