The 2024 iPad Pro refresh is one of the most remarkable Apple has ever delivered. But should you buy it if you already have the 2022 iPad Pro?
After years of waiting, Apple finally delivered what many are calling the ultimate form of the iPad Pro. The 2024 refresh of the iPad Pro is no regular iterative update. In fact, it even leapfrogs the Mac by serving as the introductory platform for next-gen silicon. It is the thinnest machine Apple has made so far, and it truly looks breathtaking from an engineering perspective.
It’s astounding to see that the new iPad Pro is dramatically thinner than the Apple Pencil, but still retains the magnetic charging system for the stylus. To achieve that thin profile, Apple even had to shrink the camera bump, which entailed the departure of the ultrawide camera at the back. An interesting downgrade is also in tow. The 2025 version comes with a 4-mic array, while the 2022 trim comes armed with five mics.
iPad Pro vs. iPad Pro : performance At the center of Apple’s 2024 iPad Pro marketing ploy is the new M4 silicon. It’s darn surprising to see that Apple chose a tablet to introduce a next-gen processor, one that is going to appear inside Mac hardware in multiple formats and variants. Based on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, the latest M-series silicon takes the number of CPU cores to 10, up from eight CPU cores on the M2 generation.
Peaking at 38 trillion operations per second and armed with Machine Learning accelerators, the dedicated Neural Engine chip on the M4 is said to be 60x faster compared to the A11 Bionic. Thanks to the firepower at its disposal, Apple notes that the M4’s neural processing unit will run “powerful diffusion and generative AI models” locally, apparently in the same vein as Google’s Gemini model running on Pixel 8 series phones.
Talking about keyboards, there’s some wallet-friendly news this time. The price remains unchanged, but the refreshed Magic Keyboard now offers an aluminum-clad chassis that looks and feels more premium. Hopefully, it also solves the peeling problem that has plagued Magic Keyboard accessories so far.
