![]() ![]() Whether you’re playing games on it, running multiple apps in multitasking, or getting creative with the Apple Pencil, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch simply won’t break a sweat – and the 10-11 hours of battery life on a device this svelte is pretty incredible and also a testament to the M1’s power efficiency. At its most basic level, that means that it’s the most capable, powerful tablet around. The iPad Pro’s M1 chip means it has the same chip as Apple’s laptop line-up. ![]() iPad Pro M1 review: Features and performance ![]() There are also four speakers subtly placed in each corner which provide truly impressive output for a device with such a slim chassis. It’s the kind of display that truly pops with the right content, such as the latest season of Stranger Things or Andor. That’s because there’s mini-LED backlighting underneath the display, meaning there is some truly incredible contrast on display (1,000,000:1 in fact), and it gets very bright, too, with up to 1,600 nits when watching HDR content. Returning to the display, it’s hard to overstate just how impressive it is, even if you owned the prior, almost identical 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This is used for both data and charging, so if you’re looking to plug multiple things in, you’ll need a dongle. Federighi had also noted that the M1 supports connectivity that its previous iPads don’t.On one side you’ll find a volume rocker and a spot to magnetically attach an Apple Pencil (more on accessories shortly), but the only port to be found here is a USB-C one at the ‘bottom’ (again, speaking in portrait terms). Apple SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi told TechCrunch in June that the availability of memory led Apple to limit Stage Manager to M1 iPads. In response, our teams have worked hard to find a way to deliver a single-screen version for these systems, with support for up to four live apps on the iPad screen at once.Įxternal display support for Stage Manager on M1 iPads will be available in a software update later this year.Īpple’s decision to open up Stage Manager to more iPads is a notable change, considering that the company previously said that the feature requires an M1 chip. Customers with iPad Pro 3rd and 4th generation have expressed strong interest in being able to experience Stage Manager on their iPads. Delivering this multi-display support is only possible with the full power of M1-based iPads. We introduced Stage Manager as a whole new way to multitask with overlapping, resizable windows on both the iPad display and a separate external display, with the ability to run up to eight live apps on screen at once. Given that some people have shared their concerns about Stage Manager’s external display feature, Apple is likely looking to take more time to fine-tune the functionality.Īpple provided TechCrunch with the following statement regarding the changes: In addition, external display support for Stage Manager is getting delayed to a future software update later this year. However, the older iPad models won’t be able to extend their display to an external model, which means Stage Manager will only work on the iPad’s display. Now, the feature will also be coming to third and fourth-generation iPad Pro models. Stage Manager, which offers easier multitasking and switching between apps, was previously only compatible with the M1-powered iPad Air and the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models released last year. Apple’s latest iPadOS 16 developer beta brings Stage Manager to older iPad Pro models, as an M1 chip is no longer required.
