JAKARTA - Apple has just launched the latest iPad Pro, comes with a thin and lightweight design, advanced Ultra Retina XDR screen, and has embedded the latest M4 chip which is claimed to be very fast with powerful artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Quoted from the Apple page, the new iPad Pro is available in silver and space black with 100 percent recycled aluminum content and comes in two sizes, namely a wide 13-inch model and a super portable 11-inch model.

Launching ANTARA, Thursday, May 9, the iPad Pro features a very thin and light design. The 11-inch model has a thickness of 5.3 mm and weighs less than a pound, while the 13-inch model has a thickness of 5.1 mm and weighs nearly a quarter-pound lighter than its predecessor.

The new iPad Pro presents the Ultra Retina XDR screen, which is claimed to be the most advanced screen in the world. The Ultra Retina XDR screen uses the latest OLED tandem technology that uses two OLED panels and combines light from both to provide full screen brightness.

This screen supports a full screen brightness of 1,000 nits for SDR and HDR content, and 1,600 nits for HDR. A new choice of nano-texture glass comes for the first time on the iPad Pro, maintaining image quality and contrast while spreading ambient light to reduce silau.

The latest iPad Pro is supported by an M4 chip that brings a major improvement in performance. M4 uses a second-generation 3-nanomer technology that is claimed to be more efficient in power usage.

With a new CPU and an upgraded GPU, the M4 performs up to 1.5 times faster than the previous generation. Features like Dynamic Caching and ray tracing make it faster in image processing.

M4 is also claimed to be more efficient in power use, providing the same performance as using only half the power compared to M2.

The new iPad Pro with M4 is also equipped with Apple's most powerful Neural Engine ever, capable of performing 38 trillion operations per second, which is 60x faster than Apple's first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic chip.

With the iPad Pro with M4, users can perform AI-supported tasks faster.

The latest iPad Pro comes with a 12MP rear camera and is equipped with a new adaptive True Tone flash which makes scanning documents on the iPad Pro claimed to be better than before. On the front, there is an Ultra Wide 12MP camera with a Center Stage.

The iPad Pro has a high-performance USB-C connector that supports Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4, providing fast cable connectivity of up to 40Gb/s. The device also supports 6E Wi-Fi, 5G network, and eSIM. This new device is compatible with accessories such as the new all-time Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.
